Thrift Haul - So Many Treasures and a Five Dollar Dresser!!

We hadn't really planned on doing a junk run, but since it had been a few weeks we decided to hit up some of our local Goodwills, and an estate sale. We managed to find quite a few treasures!!

What a great haul Rachael. Can’t wait to see what you do with the items, I know I’m going to like what you’ll do with them, even before you do a video. You always have fantastic ideas with your projects. The bunny is so cute as well. Looking forward to your next video Rachael. Enjoy your weekend.

Thank you!! 😊

Rachel, super haul. Looking forward to seeing what you do with these! Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the video!! I can hardly wait to get started on all of them, but I am forcing myself to finish my hutch first - otherwise it may never happen, lol!! Thanks for watching!!!

Love the lunch box!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Me too - it reminds me so much of my dad's!! :)

Rachel I really enjoy your channel. You are a talented lady. 😊

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

So sweet of you to say - thank you!! :)

I love seeing your vision

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you. :)

Hi Rachael, I can't wait to see what you do with everything !! I wood paint the dark box, so many details to bring out 😊 I always have good luck selling bread boxes

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

It was a good trip for some project pieces for sure! I am excited to dig in to them, but I have a hutch top to finish first, lol. Thank you - and thanks for watching!! :)

What a great haul. I would be broke if I lived near your shop. Love all things rabbit and bird. Love that box with the flowers on top. Hope u show that flip in a video.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you! And I definitely will!! :)

*BTW, that metal candle stand with the 3 graduated levels of candles hanging from hooks was OUTSTANDING‼️ Yes, it would look spectacular on a fireplace 🔥 hearth, or lighting the top of a patio's stairway with citronella candles to deter bugs.🦟🦟🦟 The clear jar with the metal bail could hold a citronella candle inside, too, and you could hang it in the garden or in a potted plant from a metal plant hook as well. A solar light would even look good inside that jar. 😁 If you attach a wood round to the top of the plant stand, might I suggest you attach a wooden lazy susan to the top of the stand? That way, a house🪴 plant can easily be rotated in the window to make the most of the available light, without having to physically move the plant 🍃stand itself, LOL. 😉*

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you! It was definitely a better haul than I thought it would be! :) Thanks for your suggestions, too - I don't have a lazy susan at the moment that would work on the plant stand unfortunately - it's a great idea though. I do have a perfect wood piece that will be beautiful for it - I can't wait to get it painted! Thanks for watching!!

I am in Minnesota, but my sister lives in Tacoma, WA. How far (in miles and driving time) is Spokane from Tacoma? I have no concept of how far apart these cities are from each other. 😛😏😔 My sister may want to visit your shop and/or your booths if not too far away. 😁🥰🤪*

It's about a 5 hour drive. :)

Nice haul! Love, love, love the lamp. That is fantastic. Is it for candles? Couldn't tell if one of the panes opened. So many fun things in the haul, bet once you get calmed down from the garden shop opening, you will have a blast making them over. Have a wonderful day gal.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you! And yes, the little lamps each have a door to fit a candle in them. :) I am looking forward to getting started on them, but I am making myself get the hutch finished first, haha - I'm afraid if I don't it will never get done! Thanks for watching - have a great day!!

[@karenholdingmyown]

Some really cool bottles. Love that big one with the embossed flowers? Wow that tall white candle holder is gorgeous! Can it come apart and maybe you can fill the glass with something? Love the wooden treasure chest!!! Beautiful details! The bamboo shelf is really nice!! Oooh that tower thing is different! Looking forward to see what you do with that plant stand and the lunch box! Yes Sonnet does a great job with the metal boxes. I haven’t found one yet. Looooove that triple lantern! Oh good you find another magazine rack! When you makeover the dresser that’s a good one for a college dorm, not too heavy to move! Having moved my son several times🤦🏻‍♀️light weight furniture is good😂perhaps keep that thought in mind?? Maybe make a college section of furniture and things for the fall? Just a thought. Great haul!!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

I wish that white candle holder came apart so I could keep the clear glass but everything is glued together - such a bummer! I am looking forward to the dresser - I was definitely thinking of keeping it somewhat simple so that it could go in to a child's room or, like you suggested, a dorm. :) We will see what I end up doing with the rest of it - I'm excited to get started, but I am making myself finish my hutch first! haha. Thanks for watching!!

[@karenholdingmyown]

@@theeclecticcottagespokane Lol, so many projects so little time! I know that feeling! Looking forward to the hutch completion!

[@candyclay1266]

On the large art, I'd paint the mat not the frame. It's gorgeous btw, and great haul!!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you!! :)

[@karenholdingmyown]

When my clay pots break I use the pieces for drainage inside the other pots

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

I usually use the halves for decoration in one of my bigger pots. :) But they would definitely make good drainage material!

[@karenholdingmyown]

@@theeclecticcottagespokane Oooh clever idea! I have used a couple of halves for toad homes 😂

[@nancypeteja6560]

Do y'all ever do masculine things that would be for guys?? Everybody makes over stuff feminine and frilly but no man-ish stuff for Father's Day vignettes. I agree with Hubby to keep the dark wooden box as is!! Just MHO. TFS. 😊❤

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

You know, I really don't do a lot of "masculine" decor - I think mainly because my shop tends to be a reflection of my own personal taste . . . and my audience and customer base is predominately female. Maybe I will look for some items specifically geared towards the men and create a father's day vignette - if I can score some cool stuff when I'm out hunting. :) Thanks for watching - and thanks for the suggestion!! :)
