Ralph Lauren Inspired Thrift Haul

[@tgbarnett1]

I am a firm believer that art should be personally satisfying. If your little Rembrandt spoke to you then that's all that matters. Don't feel like you have to have approval from others. Certainly has an old world vibe to it!❤

[@lindao1327]

The portrait is quirky looking. I like it! I have a similar basket which I use as a magazine rack. Love the blue and white planter.

[@greenwillow5404]

Wonderful haul Hilary! You always find the best things. I loved everything: the sweater, the blue and white pieces, the vases.😍Your wild card is amazing!! He hangs in the National Gallery in Washington D.C. If you and your family ever go to Washington, you should pay him a visit. That's King Wladyslaw IV Vasa of Poland and he is clothed in elk skin.

[@paulamcleod1227]

i'm looking forward to your decluttering vlog!

[@bethcampbell3988]

For sure keep the portrait!

[@eleanorbertin8725]

I love the Polish nobleman! I have a Rembrandt print of a centurion that a dear friend watched me admire in an antique shop but couldn't afford the $15 decades ago. She secretly went back and bought it for me. Very special.

[@lianeabeyta4515]

The portrait has a very dark academia feel to me. Would look great in a library or shelf with books and an old brass chamberstick in front. I love unique pieces.

[@erikastanger7848]

I have had that same pampered chef spatula for more than 10 years, and it's still going strong.

[@MargaretQ]

Mine is going on 8 :) such a sturdy tool

[@lindaallen4045]

Same here!

[@kelliconlan8133]

Me to but I'm going on 14 years!!!

[@jylnoll7585]

14 years as well!! So good.

[@victoriagreenway6832]

Mr. Tash has my vote!😄

[@ginahernandez3219]

Great haul. Thanks for sharing, Hillary ❤

[@alisonc4363]

The original of that Rembrandt is in The National Gallery of Art! They say, "The penetrating expression of A Polish Nobleman and the striking resemblance of the sitter’s features to Rembrandt’s, particularly in the area around the eyes and nose, make one wonder if this painting is not, in fact, a fanciful and liberally embellished self-portrait." Interesting!

[@kimkay8635]

I think the portrait will look great and I like the frame too!

[@madhonkas]

I laughed so hard at the portrait - in a good way!! I love it's quirkiness. So good!

[@donnarodriguez9509]

I love the portrait.

[@elizabethlane4617]

The strawberry vases are darling and would make such cute lamps! My mom used to convert tins and vases into lamps all the time! As long as you love the portrait that’s all that matters 😊and gorgeous basket!!

[@kathleenrussell254]

I love the painting...

[@jackielynelifestyle]

Love the mock neck sweater top! Those are my go to during winter.

[@donnarakitzis2719]

Love the ceramics 🍓

[@jenswaringen7826]

LOVE that basket!

[@lauriestrom7789]

Nice finds! Thanks for sharing. Someone mentioned that whisk works well for eggs, which it does; it's also great for sauces and puddings as it keeps the bottom of the bowl/pan scraped so nothing sticks/burns.

[@maryohare4141]

The delft style bowl would be perfect for forcing flower bulbs for different seasons...it could sit by from door or on center of dining table.

[@lethaharris1608]

The portrait some think it's Rembrandt himself lol. So cool. I love all of your finds ❤❤❤. The sweater would be cute over a delicate print button up shirt or white .

[@scwendy6302]

That’s the kind of painting I’d hang in a library or over a desk ❤

[@JenniferOrr-sh6wt]

The strawberry containers would be cute with hydrangeas!

[@debbiefletcher4781]

Your videos are always full of delightful inspiration looking forward to to next one and showing where you hang your Rembrandt dignitary. 😊

[@kelliconlan8133]

The portrait is definitely not something I would have gotten, but will look to see how you style it.

[@maggiedee9284]

I recognize that blue and white bowl…several years ago it was sold with an amaryllis bulb. I had a couple of them.

[@SoMDJules]

Thumbs up on everything, including the portrait!!!

[@kellichandler2752]

I love Whimsy! Your portrait certainly is! Loved all your finds!!

[@judycain8995]

The whisk is great for beating eggs for scrambled eggs or French toast.

[@donna8212]

Love your finds Hilary. The sweater looks so cute on you ☺️. Enjoy your girls night 😁.

[@vickiulrich6694]

My husband calls anything framed that is a person instant relatives. So tell me…if I buy pretty dishes to throw junk and stuff in my kids will quit telling me I have a problem? I throw things in butter tubs, sour cream tubs and lids of various sizes. I might have a problem but it sounds like you just gave me a solution!!!:):):)

[@lindaroyal8161]

Nice haul as usual, you always find such unique pieces. I like the portrait, I think he should be in your gallery area of the stairs to the basement. I agree with other comments, make up a story and give him a name. I really like the nut cracker, my favorite of this haul.

[@donnarakitzis2719]

Looking forward to the declutter. It will inspire me to do the same.

[@jewelllowe3054]

I have that whisk , sadly I discovered it while clearing out my late mother’s home.

[@birdlane]

The basket and vases are lovely! The wild card ia so fun!!! It's really a great portrait!♡

[@rosemarycornwall5162]

I LOVE your Polish Nobleman. A random piece like that really livens things up and makes your style individual and unique. I live in an English terraced town cottage in Cornwall, which is down at the bottom end of the UK. It's very beaten up, tiny, nothing straight, beams on a low ceiling , long, thin space, I have a mish mash of things from Ikea to street finds but try to make it comfortable and a practical yet fun place to live. It's quite the challenge but it's just for me so I can do whatever I like, ha ha!

[@Anagrams458]

Your home sounds quaint and fun.

[@rosemarycornwall5162]

@@Anagrams458 Thank you, my favourite part atm is a fake rook (a black bird) that I have sitting on a real branch covered in moss and fire cones which is set across a small window. I have quite a few fake birds in unexpected places!

[@jennypops9491]

I love the painting. So unique. 😊

[@patriciamartin56]

I love the portrait! I would have bought it also😊

[@gwenvann7279]

Great finds. I’m looking forward to see how you style and use the new items.

[@levratalex4929]

Great content

[@elainewhitlock6338]

Love your haul! Glad you found a picture that spoke to you…always buy those pieces, especially if reasonably priced! It will be a great conversation piece and lovely accessory in your home. I’ve passed on pieces that spoke to me and when I went back they were gone! Enjoy your new found treasures!

[@Anagrams458]

The Polish nobleman will look great in your house. I think the frame suits the portrait. The vases are so lovely!

[@lindasmith5190]

I love watching Margo Roth also! I love everything you got thrifting.

[@robinp2169]

I love the quirky art! Such good character!

[@Nicole-ge4vg]

Love the pot!

[@Nicole-ge4vg]

AND that basket is amazing!

[@mariakarbowiak4922]

Hello from Poland😁! The Polish Nobleman, cool 😉😁. It may seem a little exotic for you. In our country such historical paintings are common in many places.

[@mariakarbowiak4922]

I would also keep it for the sake of the author himself. Classic.

[@jennifermcafee4639]

I like the picture and would have purchased it if I had seen it.

[@racheld.2046]

You are too cute!! Love all your finds, even the print! 😉 But that blue planter.. what a steal!!!!

[@julieknaff9630]

I work for an estate company and my best advice is to use the google lens feature on your phone to investigate pieces with missing or worn markings. You learn some amazing things!

[@biolameieri]

Love the wild card! 😀 Can't wait to see how you style all these lovely finds🤩

[@nancydahl8209]

LOVE him!!

[@MyLifeRefining]

Loooooove the basket, the pottery is so pretty, the painting definitely can fit in with your decor and I think the specific portrait is classic but the man quirky enough to be a REALLY fun surprise as guests go through your home and I’m sure he will make you smile when you pass during your day for years and years to come. Enjoy!

[@HoneyLee75]

That was a steal for the pampered chef mix and scrape. You are getting ping to love it. I have had mine for almost 20 years. It is still going strong. It scrapes your bowl clean. The Rembrandt is definitely a wild card. 😁

[@arlenecoury9976]

You always looks so lovely Hillary! That is quite the interesting portrait, I will say . Definitely the conversation starter ! Great buy on vases. Always good to have a "back up" in case one breaks? The basket with the handles with look so lovely iwth oversized flowers to one side.

[@cl3381]

Great finds, including portrait, Hillary! 👏 Thank you!

[@Stephanie-lg1cm]

Love the portrait, use some rub and buff to cover the frame.

[@marthamcquaid5440]

What an amazing haul. I also love Delft and will pick it up whenever I see it. I do like your wildcard find. It's definitely English Country Manor style. I wish I could find the things you find in your thrift store in the thrift stores in my area. I thoroughly enjoy your videos thank you for sharing.

[@mycollectivehome4620]

I saw the exact same strawberry cannister at my local thrift store last night. It was a tiny canister with a lid.

[@tinaq.566]

I like the portrait a lot, but has autumn & winter vibes for me. Moody, darker colors. I'd pick a spot and have a floral ot landscape for spring/summer...then switch to dignitary for fall/winter.

[@chrissynes3553]

I have a brass nutcracker that is a pair of legs. They were my grandmother’s. I crack up every time I see them. 🤭

[@karencampbell9770]

Love everything. The picture is, in my opinion, kinda quirky. Love it.

[@laurahobbs1936]

I have that basket! Love what you shopped. That planter is fantastic.

[@paulacostello6912]

I can't say the nobleman appeals to me, but i like the sweater.

[@abbeygrantham1191]

I think $19.99 was a good price for the portrait. It's different. I love it.

[@rosemariemello6675]

Hilary I got my love for thrifting from you ❤

[@susandenniscook9271]

The portrait is my favorite of your finds. I’ve seen that Rembrandt portrait before. It will be great in your home!

[@mariebammann1561]

I like the portrait and it will look perfect in your home, especially surrounded by all your decor. My feeling is that if the object "speaks" to you, purchase it. Trust your instinct.

[@patriciareeps3389]

I love the white strawberry decorated vases. I have that exact large planter. It was part of a set of three. My son and his wife gave them to me many years ago. I love them they are always in style

[@rhiannancaraway]

Those vases are definitely very Margo. Love her channel and yours, obviously 😁 Never miss a video from either of you.

[@stanparker3636]

Put both windmills together. So pretty.

[@HomeMadeVintage]

I love the portrait of Mr. Mustache! I think the frame would look even better if you painted the trim black. And that basket is adorable! 😍

[@maryohare4141]

Great moustashe man painting...I would put it in basement barhroom and have a little shelf that displayed an old fashioned shaving lather brush, a moustashe comb and cup. Kind of "tongue in cheek" surprise.

[@janpeterson6851]

Ohh. Love those strawberry vases!

[@bethcampbell3988]

Vintage Primavera by Creative Imports, ceramic lidded strawberry canister (yours missing lid)

[@jennifermitchell1730]

Rembrandts are my favorites. ❤

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Your haul is lovely, Hilary.🫶🏻

[@marywatkins6798]

Your last item, the wild card: instant relative!!! I like it. My first thought was, oh, Rembrandt! It's that style. Keep both vases as a matching set.

[@lynnek4226]

Love the strawberry vases! I need to do a whole house declutter as well. Looking forward to inspiration!

[@susanrobinson408]

Great haul!! I think you need to put the portrait in a place of honor and call him an ancestor!! You look darling in that sweater.

[@katiej624]

I am laughing so hard at your presentation of the portrait! 😂 That WAS a wild card! I was not expecting it... I am very curious to see how you use it... I never thought I would like something like that, but knowing you... You'll make it work and I'll have to go find a mustachioed-man portrait of my own! 😂

[@becomingbrooke9339]

Love the portrait!! I would have paid $19 bucks for it! I do love a random portrait that brings individuality and character to a house!! I have a half bath where every wall is pretty much a gallery wall of random thrift portraits. Guests are always entertained by the 1/2 bath!😂

[@carolmiller8811]

How fun! Such a great idea!

[@bambicrosby120]

i have a whisk like that i use it all the time. i hope you like yours as much as i like mine...

[@susanboddie1120]

There’s appears to be a chip on the rim of the planter but it could be something on the video. You should check out the prices on that painting of the nobleman. I think it’s awful but those prices online are shocking. Some are in the $100s, some in the $1000s. 😮

[@Steph61795]

I love the blue and white planter with saucer. Not sure about the portrait.

[@annw1395]

Love that basket, the sweater, and the planter! Pampered Chef spatulas are the best! Personally, I don't care for the strawberry vases or the portrait, but I quite like the frame. I'll be interested in seeing how you style them. I love your thrift hauls!

[@christined2495]

Love the portrait, my daughter who is about your age has a portrait in her home of a little Victorian girl, everyone notices her and compliments it… Hillary I swear I was in a antique store not even two hours ago and I saw a Ralph Lauren print framed, in a beautiful frame it was so you… I thought to myself Hillary would flip over this… I have been blessed by the thrifting gods this week, I made out like a bandit, three skirts with tags on from loft, and INC, softest material with the little floral flowers on two, and the third skirt was black with tiers of ruffles also Loft.. $4.79 each I am set for summer skirts now, have been collecting them all spring… I now own 6 of them …I am obsessed with wearing them..I also bought two designer silk scarves for the fall… Love all your thrifting finds, but madly in love with your new portrait

[@simplysara1266]

Love your style! Maybe you could go over the sponge paint look on the portrait frame with rub n buff.

[@lynnetling4566]

I like your picture and love the frame except for the sponge painted finish you mentioned. I would repaint that part just a pretty gilt or gold leaf it.

[@imahick5723]

Love all the blue and white pottery. The picture eh

[@pieceful_puzzling]

Oh wow... that portrait... 😅

[@lindabergman932]

Lol.. I think he’s great ❤ Have a great day Hillary .😀

[@barbarapeterson8030]

Hillary, I absolutely love the pieces you picked up, however, I love the portrait. STTB

[@cynthia6055]

Very cool finds!!!!

[@fayefern4581]

You're right, it is a famous painting by Rembrandt. You should google it and reading about your find.

[@MargoRoth]

Love love love those vases!!!! 🥹❤️😍

[@nettylhomme472]

Hi I am native from the Netherlands and yes it’ a reproduction from Rembrandt and it,s well known and it’s beautifull an not to expensive

[@janetallen4013]

I was astounded by a toddlers pair of nikes for 50.99 at a goodwill, I'm almost certain those could be bought at a store for the same price. We all donate to goodwill for all to buy when they need a bargain(I like a bargain also) and this place is marking donations up so the people who have a strict budget can't afford it.

[@lauramitchell6725]

One of the thrift shop chains near me here in central Pennsylvania is called Jubilee Ministries. Their “ministry” is helping released prisoners get back on their feet,nice idea. However,their prices are so high sometimes that I feel like saying, “How about making it affordable for those of us who have never committed a crime?😵‍💫😖. 😅😂🤣

[@jojoply]

That and the fact the ceo has a salary of over a million dollars. We do not shop or donate anymore to Goodwill. There are so many more thrifts that are not corporately owned.

[@catrice7126]

I like Raulph Lauren

[@janejones1797]

I love everything you found! Blue and white is my favorite, and use it a lot in my decor.

[@debranicholson9223]

Love the Rembrandt!!
