I'm SO excited to share my latest thrifting adventure with you guys! I couldn't be happier with how the DIYs turned out😍 Thank you so much for watching; y'all are the best 🤍

[@cindymolleur6097]

Instead of having to store the glass from the frame, just put it in the frame behind the picture. The picture will be snug in the frame and the back will close more securely…..just a tip. Nice flips👍👍

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

Yes love that tip! 🙌🏼 after I filmed the video I went back and put the glass behind it and it worked perfectly. I suppose I should have mentioned that in the vid ☺️ thank you! ❤️

[@vickyb9918]

Love this tip.

[@lovemachinko8573]

YES!!!!! THANK you!

[@jekalambert9412]

I've had lots of success cleaning lampshades with dish soap and a vegetable brush. I wash them in my kitchen sink and use the sprayer to rinse them.

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

Thanks for sharing! This particular shade has a paper lining on the edges, but I would love to try your trick on a shade that's all fabric 😊

[@conniemorgan8402]

I use a new paint brush to dust my lampshades and books.. works perfectly..

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

That’s a great idea!

[@artistchristinadavis]

[@lauyuyuy4872]

Greetings..!loved it everything came out so beautiful. My fave was the picture you remade even though it was scary to watch you posh it. Thank you for sharing your ideas

[@barbcairns2408]

I too like the thrift and DIY. I take the lamp shade to the kitchen sink and wash them with a bit of dawn power wash and and a nail brush to clean them well. Then rinse and put somewhere to .dry.😊

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

I love that idea! A few people have mentioned this so I think I will try it! Although some of my shades have a paper inside rim🤔 so I’ll have to find one that doesn’t :)

[@JoniSpruit]

You can get the dust off pleated shades with a blow dryer. I’d do them outside or out the door if it’s cold out. Love that old chest. Good job on your flips. ❤

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

That’s a genius idea, thank you for sharing it with me! 🤗

[@lisashireman582]

I use my son's air tank to blow the dust off. That works great! Who would have thought! Lol

[@vlrissolo]

Oh I didn't realize this video was 5 months old already! I was looking for thrifters that do crafting and I found you

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

Welcome! I'm glad you found my channel! 💕🥰

[@marymcghee3023]

You can paint lamp shades too. I liked the table lamp for $14. I love the black frame with gold rub and buff beautiful! Love your decorating the shelf. You have a good eye and very creative.

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

Thank you so much!🥹🥰 I’ve been wanting to try painting one 🤔

[@jenimolina7101]

Same for me! I was feeling so stressed and your voice and calm music helped so much!

[@lisavasquez4670]

The lamp turned out beautifully and I agree with you using the brown as an undertone instead of the black it is warmer

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

Yes! 🙌🏼 I loved the brown underneath 😍

[@lisavasquez4670]

I love how you styled the shelf with the painting and the scalloped bowl add the candlesticks it's a very moody elegant expensive-looking vibe

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

Thank you! I’m so glad you like it! It makes me happy every time I look at it now 😊

[@marierilea2636]

I recently went to Goodwill and they had a set of clay Pots from Walmart. They were priced a dollar more than brand new at Walmart! I brought it over to an Employee and showed them the picture on the Walmart site!

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

Oh wow! 😱 I sure hope they lowered the price for you!

[@lillianlojan2010]

Tell us what happened. Did they lower the price?

[@vq2vx]

yup, I've routinely seen used dollar store items marked for upto $5 at "thrift stores". Buyer beware!

[@wendywelling-dw5sn]

[@rachaelbruesch6306]

A tip I learned, You can put the lampshade in the dishwasher by itself on the rinse cycle & it should come clean.

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

Ooo I didn’t know that! My pleated lampshade has paper on the top and bottom seams, but I may try that on an all-fabric shade. Thank you for the tip 😊

[@rachaelbruesch6306]

​@@AnastasiaDesignsThe pleated one can come clean with a Electronic Dust Spray can 👍

A secret. If you find a stained lamp shade, you can use a damp tea bag blotted evenly to hide stains & looks intentional! ❤️

You can paint linen, if the stains don't come out of the rectangle lampshade.

Que suerte poder tener tuendas de segunda mano, donde encontrar tantas cosas. Vivo en Hospitalet, ciudad de Barcelona, España. Aqui solo hay una, hace tiempo consegui algunos jarrones, pero ahora, raro es el dia que encuentro algo. Por eso cuando veo esos establecimientos tan grandes, digo que, que lastima que no hayan aquí.

Thank you so much! ☺️ You can either order them online on Walmart.com (select “Services” then “Photo Services”). Or you can go into the store and plug your phone into one of their photo machines to print any pictures you want. I hope that helps!

[@VynetteHughes]

Question about the lamp DIY- do you need to prep the metal to get the paint to stick? And do you need a top coat or fixative after applying the Rub n Buff?

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

I’m no expert on this, but I didn’t prime it or scuff it up before painting and the paint seemed to adhere just fine. If it wasn’t sticking then I probably would scuff the surface with sand paper first. From what I’ve seen, it’s recommended that you don’t seal rub n buff. I hope this helps! 😊

[@charmedlife7758]

[@MariaSanford-xu1lf]

I’m not a decorator but wonder how the flat gold tray looks with the mod podge picture?

[@TheJacquiLove]

you NEED to put some dainty pathos propagations in those cream scalloped bowls by the painting and candles. Trust me it's the cherry on top :)

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

Oooo I loveee this idea!! You’re right, it needs that pop of something natural!🌱 thank you for watching ❤️

[@vlrissolo]

I understand through Nick Lewis that silver is the color for 2025. I am not a trendy person and I like what I like ma.ny of the things in my home started off as one color but with the addition of gold or silver paint it's really hard to tell exactly what color it is😅 is it silver is it gold? To me it is perfect! Everything Blends and I'm not stuck into one niche. Some things are outright silver and outright gold and that's working out well. Just thought I'd share that because it's amazing how pretty they look together especially on items that are more ornate and have a raised design I think you're very clever... I learned years back that if you go under gold with red you will get a much more vibrant color and I imagine that if you use a deeper red you will get still a vibrant color but not bright. I tend to use red when I use gold leaf, but of course then I plop all different colors on to get just that right shade

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

Thank you so much for watching! I love your idea to underpaint gold with red to make it pop more. I’ll have to try that 😊 And I definitely think it’s important to decorate with what makes you happy and not necessarily what’s trending. I can see silver coming back in style, but I do love my gold!✨✨

[@msullivan1006]

OMG - I love your videos, you are brilliant. Question, what kind of paper was used in printing the image of flowers from Walmart that you put in the painted frame? Loved it.

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

Ah you’re so sweet!!☺️ I used the matte photo paper option❤️

[@deniselove1585]

Buy a can of compressed CO2 to clean your lamp shades-works phenomenally!

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

[@jacquelinecrawford3297]

My goodwill would price large pictures 49.99 and all the 1.99 and 2.99 table ware or decor you showed would be 3.99-5.99. The prices have gotten crazy at goodwill since 2020.

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

Oh wow! That’s pretty high. I recommend checking out local thrift shops, especially ones that support good causes, because they often have lower pricing. I love supporting animal rescue thrift stores 🫶🏼❤️

[@Jann-l4i]

Hi! Great video! Just wondering when you painted the vintage frame was it a flat black matte you used or something else?

[@AnastasiaDesigns]

Hi! For the first frame (the larger one), I used a flat black spray paint. For the second (smaller) frame I used a dark brown acrylic paint. ☺️

Why did you first put modge podge on and not paint directly the texture?

Or does it? Think about all the paint & chemicals, pool noodle b.s. projects etc. used to refurbish or create some cheap rubbish from the dollar store or any of those items so I stand corrected…Are you aware not everyone on this globe will agree with your personal perceptions?
