HAPPY SUNDAY!☺🏡 Wait till you see what I found for our new home while thrifting & antiquing around town!!

[@mariamangion21]

@@KristenMcGowan watching it ❤️

[@DesignerLuv]

Having been a successful classic interior designer for the past 37 years I really appreciate your reverence for antique furnishings incorporated into today’s homes 🏡

[@chrischapman8010]

Here goes, I've been thrifting for 54 years. We saw items especially furniture from the 1700's, but purchased things in our newlywed budget, they would now be considered antiques. My favorite piece was a oak armoire, which we refinished, it was painted with black airplane paint!! After trying every stripper available we resorted to a sandblaster. I still have the piece, quarter sawn oak and basket weave oak. Oh my.

[@jjdicarloutube]

Love your dedication to doing that armoire right! Poor thing would have ended up in the landfill otherwise!

[@meldog7925]

I have to say you are the only KZbin channel that i actually watch the advertisement for the sponsor. You really do it well. Your videos and decorating tips are awesome. 👍🏻

[@nancyeubanks6357]

The brass curtain tie-backs actually made my heart skip a beat! Lovely!

[@KristenMcGowan]

😊

[@pattyjames4956]

I have an old card catalog similar to the one you found. I use it as a coffee table. It's one of my favorite pieces in my home, since I was a school librarian while these were still in use.

[@susangooden1055]

Beautiful newel. I couldn’t help notice those beautiful deer when you first walked in. I’m always in shopping mode.

[@ConservativeVeteran]

My friend, Matt, owns The Mercantile....he has another location in Arrington. Love his shops!

[@KristenMcGowan]

Wow! Tell him I say hi and love his store💛

[@ConservativeVeteran]

@@KristenMcGowan I shall!

[@agens.agency]

Thrift and antique finds are the best! Can’t wait to see what gems you discover! 😍🛋

[@julioenergy]

Fun series, could watch a million of these!

[@ellend9739]

Love the antique furniture shopping ! Coming from The Netherlands but have lived for over 50 years in Canada, I have my house done with antiques and it’s so good to know that magazines are introducing antique furniture again !! Like everything else it’s coming back ! It’s in my blood ! Love what you are doing with your traditional house Kristen ! That’s the house that is perfect for antiques !

[@cheesepie455]

Your videos and styles are soo inspiring.. At such a young age you demonstrate professionalism, keen insights and helpful ideas for all budgets. Thank you and keep up the good work..

[@KristenMcGowan]

Thank you so much I appreciate that💛

[@lisamdrake5696]

Oh yay!!! I just LOVE thrifting and antiquing!!! ❤😊

[@KristenMcGowan]

me too!☺☺

[@robinnieto2703]

I’m a big fan of thrifting also. Thrift stores, antique shops and Habitat for Humanity are my favorite places to go for the best deals. My home is mostly furnished with antiques found this way. I love the newel post and the curtain tie backs are my favorite!

[@roscaines-prentice3888]

The item that you described as a ‘stunning piano’ is actually an organ, often found in old churches.

[@femalewarrior125]

I was going to say that, you beat me to it😊

[@karlavedder3139]

Love your channel. I love to thrift. The best thing i found thrifting was a glass hand blown vase. I noted it was signed when i got home. I looked up the artist and found that it was worth around $300 dollars, and I paid $2.50!!!

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

All of your purchases are fabulous including your thread up order. My favourite thrifted purchase was a brown suede jacket for $15 aus.

[@BluebonnetShelley]

I love your thrift shopping videos. When we lived in Germany, I got the most gorgeous hutch for my dining room. The couple I bought it from used to go to France regularly , which was very close to us, and get antique furniture. The white-washed hutch includes beautiful, hand-carved wheat sheaves on the top cabinetry and medallions on the lower cabinets. It is stunning and a total steal at only $150!

[@lose999]

My best thrifted find is a vintage six strand rattan chair and ottoman for $60. The chair alone is valued at $800.

[@sharonavinger3266]

Love this type video! Please do more! The items you chose are beautiful and one of a kind. I love thrifting and antiquing, too.

[@debramenta7207]

I always look forward to your videos! You ideas are so inspirational❣

[@kristiwyckoff1636]

Love this. As a Middle Tennessee gal myself, I can’t help wondering what shops the antique stores are! Not a thrift find, but my favorite antique find is an old school bench we found at a store in Wisconsin. Even when we had a designer over, she said that was her favorite piece in our house. Thank you for the videos, I enjoy following along!

[@francineh.7825]

Fun!! My favourite find was a wood Tibetan prayer box. I love it so much.

[@jjdicarloutube]

Don’t even get me started on the things I’ve found thrifting. And to be honest, you were one of my inspirations for doing so! The list is too long to share but between flipping things and keeping several for my own home, including things to wear, I think thrifting is the only way to go! You figure if something has stood the test of time and it still looks good enough to catch your eye - it is quality made. Also, and I hate to sound cheesy, but loved your ThredUp plug. I know you’ve plugged them before but telling us about that new search feature … GAME CHANGER. We are headed to Italy in Nov and I will definitely be using ThredUp for helping me with my packing list.

[@grisespino5342]

I agree, thrifting/antiquing gives a curated one of a kind design. Estate sales are a great resource as well. Loved this.

[@lose999]

I grew up at flea markets and antique stores! Thanks for taking us along...💕

[@ginasatterfield2251]

I purchased a 100-yr old gooseneck rocker in excellent condition at an estate sale for $50 approx 20 yrs ago. I’ve since reupholstered the rocker & it looks great!

[@Lyndaragirl78]

I once found a Le Creuset Navy Cousances Oval Cocotte ( Dutch oven) with lid for $14!!!! A brand new one on the Le Creuset website is $390.00. Whoever priced that Dutch oven didn’t know how much they were actually selling for. I have had it for over 5 years and use it regularly. After using it, I understand how sought after this brand is!! It is wonderful!!! I’ve never found a deal like this anywhere else, so I guess it was meant to be!!! 💕💕💕

[@melissa-wz6uj]

Love the calming music while vintage shopping with you 😉😉🙌☺️

[@vedaenglish2078]

I love thrifting and shopping for antiques!! My best find to date was a solid wood farmhouse style table with 8 chairs for 30 dollars. The chairs were different styles so I used 4 in the dining room and 4 in the kitchen.

[@jenniferhill1750]

Hi Kristen. I also love looking at antique shops. I have found some stunning pieces. I am also currently looking for an entryway table. Happy shopping.

[@marilainefontenot8220]

I was elated to see a new video. You give me wonderful ideas on how to look for new items for my office I want to redo. And, I want to try ThredUP. Thank you again for another fantastic video!!!!

[@IamSnowbird]

I love brass candle holders and have a small collection. I'm now adding some wooden ones as well.

[@dianejohnson7235]

I love all you ornaments and holiday dishes!!!! I never find such great finds thrifting!!!

[@carmenlane7681]

I love thrifting with you. ♥️

[@tlanc1283]

I recently thrifted a box of black door knobs (half off!); matching ones are still available at Lowe's. In the past, I purchased base kitchen cabinets to use in a laundry room renovation. Enjoy your videos!

[@kianaorr9214]

I thrifted our piano for about $70. I don't really play, but I love having it in our home.

[@janspeed2071]

I love thrifting......went to Goodwill today!!

[@patkimbrell1820]

I love when you take us shopping with you. Love love thrift stores. The best buy I got was a beautiful detailed lamp for only $.99 at Goodwill and to top it off the shade was in great shape and beautiful as well

[@MzzRosee]

I love these kind of videos so much!!! Also the style of filming and the background music makes it kind of relaxing and I love that🤗 I absolutely adore the table at 19:32 , sooo beautiful ❤️

[@dinarimer3005]

Fun day of shopping!! I didn't spend a dime or get off of my couch...now to figure out how to use it! Looking forward to your next room makeover! Ty so much!!

[@lauragreen4899]

The newel post was an awesome find. Our friends' house was built in 1870 and has the same one. Great score!

[@MatthewBretherick-m8x]

Thank you for stopping by to see us at Mercantile 1858! 🫶🏻 This video made my morning! As small businesses we need all the love we can get. Next time you’re in ask for me, Matthew. I’d love to say hi! If you’ve not checked out my other location in Arrington, we’ve got more treasures there too! Mercantile 1858 at Arrington 4812 Murfreesboro Road Arrington, Tn 37014 Mercantile 1858 at Franklin 1137 West Main Street Franklin, Tn 37064

[@janhaley1212]

I paid $20 for a 32 inch heavy brass tray table. It was given to the owners uncle in 1958 when he worked in India for several years. It was a few houses down the street at her garage sale in front of. I immediately pulled over and bought it. My sister has an ice box that’s 5 feet tall. It was used in a grocery store. You put the ice in the door on the back. Priceless!

[@Tigereye-s4p]

This curtain bows are sooooo pretty.❤

[@EllaTee293]

I’m in the UK and get GREAT deals here at the charity shops and on Facebook Marketplace regularly! Sometimes things need a bit of work but it’s so worth it!

[@linelly4534]

Those curtain holdbacks are beautiful!!

[@audreyd3012]

When I lived in my old house, I was lucky that though it was brought up to have modern convinces. The original doors and hardware were original. So I had 3 and 2 panel original wood doors with Crystal doorknobs, door from inner door, brass Yale lock set. Outside glass door again an old school brass set. I loved all of them and when I would see the prices in Rejuvention who does specialize in era home hardware. I was glad I didn’t have to purchase to authenticate. I hope the banister post works for you, what a beauty.

[@BrianWaraksa]

So glad you’re thrifting again Kristin. Love your videos.

[@virginiadonnelly1031]

That was so much fun! Thank you, Kristen!

[@lucreciagerstner7020]

I love to go to all thrifts stores

[@elisabethsingletary2998]

It is a treasure hunt! That’s part of the fun.

[@RyleeMcWilliams-vf4rm]

I’m just outside of Nash and love this first antique store. It’s usually over my budget but it’s fun to get ideas and then try and thrift them!

[@jenscloset]

Love that entire outfit!

[@lauriekellum6425]

Love the ideas and inspiration. I definitely like mixing old with new. We found an old fire bell this past weekend that we plan to mount inside our garage door as a fun decorative item. I will have to keep an eye out for the extinguisher too.

[@anitabarker3125]

❤thrifting with you. Saw so many things I wanted. My best thrifted item was a dining hutch and it’s full of many thrifted items. You found some great deals and looking forward to seeing how you styled them in your home

[@JackieBluXO]

The best free find, an old public swimming pool locker. It has shelves with divider and baskets. On top of the baskets is a metal tab with a hole in it that you align with the metal piece above and use your own lock to store your items while swimming. It has 24 baskets and was headed for the dump!

[@Grandpas_Treasure]

Loved to watch the entire collection of the Antique Store you have covered.

[@peaceofrefuge]

I actually thrifted that cane web rocking chair that you showed in this video. Got it from my local restore for $15. Then found a sister to it (same chair but fabric instead of cane web ) at goodwill for $10. I’m still very much in love with those chairs

[@lylibu]

Your channel is my favorite!

[@please-wake-up-now]

Wow, Kristen! 🎉 Thrifting is like a treasure hunt! I love seeing how you transform those unique finds into something special. Your style is always on point! Also, can we talk about those stunning brass curtain tie-backs?! I’m def stealing that idea for my own place! 😍🛋️

[@amylandry4108]

You’re at one of my favorite antique shop!!

[@cindyolson4036]

That restore is great. The one where i live is not that nice. The stand on that old piano is for a lantern. For light to play in the evening. Can you imagine how beautiful it was with the glow from the lantern and piano playing.

[@gailbaumann8262]

Love love the bow tiebacks😊

[@jessicapinto3817]

Anything brass! It's my favourite metal 🤘🤘

[@lolasalesmoore236]

[@sunflowerrific]

you are inspiring, grateful for you.

[@seawinegirl]

I LOVE our local Habitat for Humanity and shop there often. Ours is quite small however loads of great finds!

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

I have a beautiful jewlery Christmas tree that I thrifted about 20 years ago. It's in a big plaster frame. Although, I paid up for it at $99.00, it's still my favorite things to display during the holidays.

[@dinaelrifai]

so glad you moved to nashville because now I can visit all the thrift stores you recommend 😅 welcome to nashville!

[@AnaGonzalez-ws8bm]

Cada pieza de ésa tienda tiene una historia, gracias por el paseo 🙋✨

[@jeanieturner5183]

My best find was a new love seat for $14.00. It had just been brought in the Goodwill and it came from a furniture co. It looks amazing in my sunroom.

[@lisahenderson4824]

Loved this episode! Really fun to feel like I was tagging along, thrifting with you :-)

Can’t wait to see what you do with your pieces.

[@lora9664]

Your ring is gorgeous!

[@johnjamesmoses]

Thanks Christen, very interesting video. I can relate to everything you say. I have just spent the day at thrift shops, and amongst other purchases I bought a piece of furniture from Habitat for Humanity here in New Zealand.

[@margui6224]

Beautiful post for your stairs. I would love to go to Habitat for Humanity and thrift like you do. Beautful pieces. Thank you, Kristen.

[@gingerlambright4665]

My best thrift find was a beautiful MCM desk for $40

[@alchemenergyacademy6231]

The vintage refrigerator cabinet doesn’t need refurbished. It works today just like it did then. Put a block of ice in it then put your food in. That’s how they work.

[@valadd9173]

Great finds! Can't wait to see what you do with them.

[@stephaniefriend9912]

since u leave in the Nashville area … there is a antique Mall … Brights Antique Mall in Franklin KY it’s right by 65 N or S it’s HUGE!!!! could spend days in there it’s between Nashville & Bowling Green KY.

[@laurafisher6531]

I love the newel post 😮

[@helenaandrews2567]

Happy Sunday 😊 I can't wait to see a fall decoration. ❤

[@lieslnew8247]

Can’t wait to see how you style your purchases. 😊

[@wendygale4808]

Great finds! The ice box, shouldn't need anything to update it, you would just have put a chunk/slab of ice in it to keep things cool, it should be ready to go, I hope you get it!!

[@exiromero7597]

I love shop in antique stores hunting for unique pieces the store that you go was a little too pricey in compared other stores. The first antique dresser that you saw in the antique store, l just put one on the garbage 🤦🏻‍♀️sorry I don't have space in my house for them. But I love all the antique mirrors and vintage frames that you share with us.😊

[@Kazacks9602]

I got a full lead light door from a salvage place and it has the first letter of our last name on it. We are building a new modern home and have included this older piece as a front door along with a set of antique French doors on the other side. One door was half off at $600 aus and the other just $100 aus.

[@gloriaprimeau7318]

Enjoyed shopping with you lovely things

[@ClassyTransitionLady]

BEAUTIFUL OUTFIT

[@Loveofdecorating]

Man 🤔 what was my favorite thrifting find??? Mercy there’s been plenty… my top two would have to be a vintage queen size headboard for only $16 at Habitat for Humanity…… I spray painted it black and distressed it. I also did the same thing with some really long wooden shutters and added a hook from Hobby Lobby and a lantern with greenery and a candle… 🕯️… boom 💥 it was beautiful! 😮

[@judithcatlett8518]

I found two items at the Coxsackie (NY) Antiques; one I was looking for and the other always wanted, but were very popular and expensive. I found a Hall frosted glass (now I have two). The other is a Hummel, a Girl with Umbrella. It was only $85 compared to $500 back in the 70’s.

[@murielbaith5445]

I thrifted a Bassett 9 drawer dresser with mirror to use as a coffee and toaster station, and storage in my mobile home kitchen. $79.00 final markdown at a consignment store.

[@jackandlill]

That wooden dresser or basin w/the marble slab for only $400. was just beautiful! I thought for sure when u looked at the price tag that it was going to be at least $600.

[@timilisafogal6990]

I love thrifting/ antiquing. It's soooo fun. There are a lot of great shops in Southern KY as well. The antique shop in Franklin seemed a little pricey though. Even though they are really nice things. Some of the prices you showed, I was thinking "yikes!" 😅

[@rosanamanso6103]

Hi Kristen, that's really cool. I love antiques, but although they have specific things, I think they're expensive. So, I try to buy them at thrift stores. 🙂
