My mother had that exact coat when I was 6. I remember she looked so stylish in it at a Christmas gathering. After getting home, she realized she’d shut the belt in the door and the pavement chewed up the end. She cried. Forty two years later and I hadn’t remembered that until you got the coat. Thanks for helping me recover a memory of my gorgeous, stylish MCM mama!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Awww how sweet! Not that she cried but the sweet memory ❤️❤️❤️ That’s the thing I love most about vintage. The memories ☺️❤️ Thank you for sharing this!

I think that big brass bowl would look cool with sand in it; to put a bunch of incense sticks in it. Beautiful, plus it makes your home smell fabulous. Nag champa is my favorite incense.

The green and white Mexican bowl is called “Talavera “ pottery. I have been collecting hanging talavera sun faces for years. I hang them on my garden fence. In the cold snowy Winters, they provide much needed color. Great find!

[@lisacorcoran7327]

Great idea! I always like the sun pottery images at the end of the Sunday Morning show.

[@sandraschneider886]

I didn’t read all the comments, so apologies if I’m repeating someone. There are guidelines for lamps and shades. The shade should be twice as wide as the lamp base, and one third of the total height of the lamp. It’s ok to have 1/2 to 1 inch of neck showing, but none of the socket should be seen below the shade. Harps can be found in many sizes/heights including adjustable height harps. They can be easily changed out for a better fit. But as in all things design: Trust your gut. You know if you like it or if it feels “off” to you. And that’s the most important thing. I’ve been thrifting my entire life. You are so fun to watch! Thank you for the recent tutorial on shining up old brass with salt and sliced lemons. I’d heard of that before, but had never tried it. Genius!! It really worked! Thanks for many hours of fun perusing...I’m just north of you in the Seattle area.

Hi 🙋‍♂️ Brina, your comments so good where are you from?

[@Marie-oy1bd]

Love your lamp/shade combo: go with what you find aesthetically appealing! If it looks off, fall back on these ¨rules of thumb¨: shade is about 2/3 the height of the base; like a slip under a dress, you never want your harp to show.

[@jillmoffett650]

Hi Laura! You have such a gift for thrifting and styling your finds. I can’t think of anything you’ve thrifted that I wouldn’t put in my home!

[@elizabethviscusi923]

[@kathrynnewhall5687]

The trick to using those wooden candlesticks without ruining them with dripping wax is using a bobeche (the glass circles that sit at the base of the candle.)

[@tammydubay6066]

I just love your style and the things you buy! You also do such a great job in presenting them. Thrifting is the best way to achieve a wonderful look.

You find such pretty stuff. About your colorful decor question... I personally love color. I have a white sofa, brown leather Eames chair & ottoman, 2 aqua blue slipper chairs and a bright to the floor magenta table cloth on a 30 inch tall circle table my Dad made. In the 90s, skirted tables between chairs was a thing. I have my bright magenta table next to my sofa. My sofa has colorful pillows made from old rugs. The key to my colorful boho living room is the nuetral walls, rug & sofa with 3 pink things... table clothe, sofa pillow, and a lamp base across the room on another end table. Think triangle. I love bright color. I have 2 large green plants in there too. I change table clothes with the season. In Fall I'll pull out the orange clothe & move pink lamp to guest bdrm & use my brass lamp. I've got red for Christmas, soft green for Spring. I had my table clothes made at Calico Corners with fancy thick upholstery fabric & weighted welting, cording at the bottom. They were expensive but I keep using them year after year & different colors makes me happy. My artwork in that room is bright. My son, my cousin, my bestie are all artists and all four walls have original oil paintings in various sizes... abstract, landscape and figures. If you like colorful, you'd dig my living room.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Annette, I dig everything you just said!

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

I'm a maximalist who tends to go for the nuetrals. I find a lot of my 'stuff' in nature, such as cool rocks and driftwood. I had a friend who used to go hunting with me along the Mississippi shoreline for cool stuff. He passed away, but he left me a gift that I found on the ground believe it or not. I knew it was from him. I looked down at what looked to be a knot that came out of a board and I reached down to pick it up for some reason and when it came out of the ground it was a feather! Not created by man but by nature and it was the coolest thing I've ever found and I knew it was meant for me to find. I believe that with all my heart. I will never let it go. It's absolutely amazing.
