Congratulations to Kaitlin on finding her first home. Quite an accomplishment.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thank you so much. It sure is. Hugs.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

I love the big clock for sure., and also the Willow Tree figure. Thanks for sharing. I'm anxious to see you decorate Kaitlin's library/guest room. That should be a lot of fun. Have a Blessed week.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

It's going to be a lot of work especially since she wants it painted too. But these old bones are up for the task. I hope you have a beautiful week. Hugs.

[@janinedorrell2152]

The Bibles are definitely my favourite-I would have rescued them too. Congratulations to Kaitlyn on her purchase! 🤗

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thank you! 😊 Hugs.

[@delmorrow896]

What a wonderful adventure for you and Kaitlyn! Congratulations to Kaitlyn on the purchase of her first home! And how lovely that she trusts you to decorate her library. I can’t wait to see the process as it unfolds. I absolutely love the Art Deco wardrobe - you got a wonderful deal on it - and my other favorite is the little vertical wooden book/magazine/journal stand. Hugs!

[@marycoleman3711]

Is it a german bible?

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thanks so much, Del. I had to wheel and deal on the wardrobe, but it was well worth it. Hugs.

[@francesahrens1578]

I ❤️the armoire! Caitlyn is smart to ask for your talent, in her guest room/library!

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thank you for your confidence in me. I hope I do a good job with the room. Hugs.

[@jillhogan2611]

The wardrobe is lovely, in great condition and for 75.00 fantastic price!

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I thought so too. I am very happy with that piece. Hugs.

[@sandraholeman1708]

Hi Joanne, very excited for your daughter !!! As Mom’s we love being included in sharing our ideas, finds and shopping with our young adult children 😊❣️Wonderful items you found this week…….I really loved the large clock and the beautiful apothecary jar. Happy designing 😁. Take care, hugs.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thanks so much, Sandra. Next warehouse sale, I'll be looking for more room decor. This is going to be fun. I just hope I do a good job for her. Hugs.

[@sylvialangworthy1435]

Congratulations Kaitlyn on your new townhouse! Joanne you will have so much fun helping decorate her library/spare bedroom. Love the old Bibles! My favorite tho is the three space book holder. It is great! Have a blessed week. 🤗

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thanks so much, Sylvia. I think I am going to have fun with it. Have a wonderful week. Hugs.

[@shirleyemrick1700]

On your little table, you might try spraying it with a clear matte spray. I have done that to dull furniture down and it works pretty well. Love, love your bibles, thank you for saving them, so many people would just throw them away.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thank you for that tip. I had never thought about trying that. So much easier than sanding it. Hugs.

[@margaretrose8105]

The armoire is beautiful. Take care.

[@sharonmakowsky172]

Hi, Joanne! So happy for Katlyn. I love the armoire! Beautiful! Also loved the apothecary jar. I have a few of my own. The mirror is great too. I would pick it up for $6.00. Great job. Hugs to all! 🥰👍💜

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

We really got a deal on that mirror. It is a good size for $6. Mirrors can be so expensive. Hugs.

[@beckycourtemanche1088]

Congratulations to your daughter on her purchase! Always a proud milestone in life! I’d trust you to decorate my entire home! Love the haul! Have a great week, stay safe out there!

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thank you so much! Great minds think alike, right. Hugs.

[@VampcatVvvvV]

my faves are the wardrobe and the swivel chair. the style of the chair is like a "Captain's" chair.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

A Captain's chair. Thanks. Hugs.

Hi Joanne. Favorites: the tassels and the little book thing. It's terrific.

[@TheThrillofTheThrift]

Wow That armoire is a stunner! Just gorgeous! Those bibles are amazing. You really got some great things my friend! HUGS 🤗

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thank you so much, Dee 🤗 Hugs.

[@itzasunnyday4me]

I love the dark academia look. That room will be so fun to decorate. My favorite items are the bibles....beautiful! I also liked the chippy, latticed book holder. Looking forward to watching the progress as you decorate the room.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I am doing a lot of research on that decor style so hopefully I know what to look for and will know what I am doing when it comes time to start working on the room. Hugs.

[@maggiepatrick892]

I like the print your daughter picked out. The Terra cotta pots are a nice addition for color in the print. I’d leave the magnifying glass in its present state. Dents and all. More authentic the way it is. And, the Armoire - oh my 😻

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

That armoire was a lucky find. It is just perfect. Hugs.

[@boutiquechiichappens4423]

Hello Joanne! Congratulations to your daughter! This is a big step for her😊

[@lynnehampton1777]

Hi Joanne. Congratulations to Your Daughter. So exciting for her and for you. Can't wait to see how you decorate. I really like the Bibles. They are so beautiful. Hi Sweet Lewis. I love seeing him. I really lije the bookshelf. Very pretty. The pitcher is so unique. I like the graphics too. Like the chair for your office. Very pretty. One of my favorites is the armoire piece for your daughter to hang things in. Another favorite are the Bibles. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care. Have a great week. God Bless.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thank you so much, Lynne. I am very happy for her. We are going to have fun putting this place together for her. Hugs.

[@bonniemciver275]

Hi Joanne. You must be very proud of your daughter. How exciting for you. I love those old bibles. They're amazing. Also the armoire. So beautiful for $75.00. You sure did wheel and deal. Congratulations ❤

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thank you. I want to do this room for as little money as possible, but still have it look great, so I am willing to wheel and deal. Plus, I think it is in my blood. Hugs.

[@4Zeus20]

I like the Sears pitcher.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Someone said it is from the 70s. Hugs.

[@kathybeck5957]

The Bibles are my favorite too! I could never throw a Bible out. Love and Hugs!!!

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I agree. Love you! Hugs.

[@Blessedgirl1955]

Oh my goodness those Bibles!! How wonderul are those!! Joanne I am so happy your daughter is going to become a homeowner and is trusting you to decorate her room in dark academia which I like for certain rooms, that will be fun. So many great finds in your haul.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thank you so much. Fingers crossed for this room. DA is new to me, and she has never let me decorate anything for her before, so this is going to be a real challenge. Hugs.

[@debbieriddle9429]

Joanne, Those are some beautiful finds. I'm so happy you saved those Bibles. That's Wonderful. My Husband collects old Bibles too, and has one from 1876. His Grandmother's Bible is here, it's from 1917. We can't let an old Bible be destroyed. One of the Bibles has fallen apart, but we put it back together the best we can, and store it in my Husband's office. That Armoire is So Beautiful...what a Steal. Thanks for Sharing, and Congratulations to your Daughter. I know you're gonna have a blast decorating that room/library. I love the idea with the small books.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I have already put the Bibles with the others that I have, just as they are. I couldn't let them be thrown away. I really hope I do a good job with her room. I don't want to let her down. Hugs.

Its all really nice. My favorite is seeing Lewis, love your fur babies. I rescue Bibles also. I have several. Congrats to your lovely daughter. How nice for her to ask you to help with that room. It will be fun. It will all fall into place, and you will do just fine with your talent. My daughter Lynn just purchased a home in Michigan. She ie moving from Florida. The owners are moving to Florida. So funny. Take care have fun with the thrifting and decorating. Take care , hugs to you and all the fur babies..keep cool 😎 ❤❤❤

I love the apothecary jar and mirror. 😊

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I'm happy to say that the apothecary jar was only $4. That was a good deal I think. Hugs.

[@carolverbeerst2348]

Hello Joanne. Please tell Kaitlyn congratulations on her new "house ". I remember the little books. I agree with you that they would look great in the apothecary jar. Maybe some dark wax would mute the colors. Keep having fun.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thank you, I will. So glad you like my idea of putting those little books in the jar. Thanks. Hugs.

You know I adore you and your finds that you share with your sweet personality I would suggest you look at a few Sherlock Holmes clips to get an idea of what your daughter is looking for. The apples seem very bright. Just run stuff by her 1st. She apparently has her own ideas. It will be terrific!!❤

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

She does have her own ideas. It seems Harry Potter is good inspiration for the Dark Academia style and she loves Harry Potter. I think we will work it out together. We work well together. She is a good kid (ha ha, kid at 27) Hugs.

[@MsJet1]

Love the Bibles!

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Me too. They are already with my others that I have collected. Hugs.

[@MyBlessedNest]

Hi Joanne! I could feel your excitement in this video! I’m looking forward to the series of videos of you decorating Kaitlyn’s guest room/library! I wonder if you call the company you got the damaged piece from if they will offer you a discount? Show them pics of how it looked when you received it. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and my favorite is the armoire! Hugs! 💓🤗💓🤗💓

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I don't what, if anything, that they will do, but I want them to know about it. That is no way to send a new item to a customer. Hugs.

My favorite is the armoire @ $75.00 AND is PerFecT for the look of her library/guest room. I can “see” the changes that will be necessary to work them into the look she’s going for! Do you have information on an inexpensive overseas (Germany) postage company? I would VERY MUCH appreciate ANY INFO you can share!! I’m thrilled for you being invited to decorate a room in Caitlyn’s new home. Please congratulate her for me!👏🥳🥰

[@DorothyakaCookieD_49]

Misspelled your daughter’s name! Kaitlin is correct, right? Not Caitlin? Help me, please!☺️

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I use Pirate Ship for shipping my packages. They discount shipping and I know they ship to Canada, but I don't know about overseas since I never shipped overseas. You can check them out though. It doesn't cost anything to set up an account. Good luck. I will send your congrats on to my daughter. Hugs.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

No worries, Kaitlin is the way we spell it.

[@sunshinevibes4357]

Sherry at Canterbury Cottage is an amazing KZbin channel and she has many videos on creating items for the dark academia look you are going for!

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Yes, I know. I watch her channel all the time. Hugs.

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Dark academia is gothic inspired. If Kaitlin, I apologize because I don’t know how she spells her name, is going to have a designated library, shop on government auction websites in your area. Oftentimes they have old oak and glass legal bookcases and other types. You might find something cool, might not. Depends on the day. Keep looking. Sometimes these things go for a lot of money, sometimes nothing. Good luck.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

You spelled her name correctly. I will have to check that out, thanks. I also check out an online auction that has a local pick up. I can find some really cool stuff there. Hugs.

I think there are a lot of folks that would be interested in the process. So, I plan on filming the process of transforming the room. Anyone not interested, doesn't have to watch of course. Hugs.

[@sandytarsenko6319]

Use gold rub n buff not paint

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I don't have any of that. Since the piece won't be used but simply for decor, don't you think the paint will work well enough? Hugs.

[@sunshinevibes4357]

Agree! You really should purchase gold rub n buff!
