Thrifting for Home Decor-Top Ten Items You Should Buy at Thrift Stores

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you all for watching and supporting my videos! I am shocked at how my channel is growing. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you all! This past week I was visiting a family member in the St. Louis hospital, so I wasn’t able to craft anything. I hope you will enjoy this video even though it is different from my previous ones. Next week, I will show what I did with my finds!

[@MzLady-rr8gj]

I’m new to your channel and I too noticed how quickly you have grown. That’s awesome, you must have been gifted in this area and must’ve been your true calling.

[@bari2883]

You could use the wooden box with the lid as a teabag holder.

[@teresapulleyn301]

Leave the canisters green/turquoise. If they’re flawless don’t mess with them. A pop of color in you retail space will be striking.

[@CanterburyCottage]

The canisters are flawless, and I did like the color. It took me a long time to make up my mind. You’ll have to check out Tuesday’s video to find out what I did or didn’t do.😀

[@debbiebrown8752]

I would leave the green canisters, if they go well with your home. Tall basket, nice find. I'm glad I found Ur channel. And I joined. I'm a big recycler 🌞

[@allisonyeager3269]

Don't paint the canisters!

[@joyceannthornton3506]

I hope your family member has recovered. Where is the Lutheran Store you’re referring to? I’m in St.Louis. It seems the prices there are amazing and I’d like to check them out.

[@cherylweso]

Put a string of wood beads around the neck of the 2 canisters! Do not paint

[@wigafer]

Thank you for explaining so well and I can understand you since my language is Spanish and sometimes it is difficult for me to understand people because they speak very fast

[@franhasbrouck7661]

Just found your channel a week ago and am really enjoying your content. Your library room is stunning🪴

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much!! I am so glad you found my channel! I’m planning a home tour sometime in the future., but need to do some serious cleaning first!🤪

That tiered shelf was my favorite! That was a fantastic price for it.

I’m a new subscriber, I absolutely love your style and look forward to catching up on past videos as well as future ones.

[@stephaniemattei6374]

I have been watching thrift videos and diy videos for quite some time and I really enjoy your channel. You do not pan around really fast in the stores ... I think sometimes thrifters forget we are watchin them and constantly move the cameras around so fast. It's almost like a carousel ride for your eyes. lol anyways your eye for items and your redos are AMAZING!! Thank you !

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate your feedback! I may be panning slowly because I’m old!🤪

[@riannatripp6594]

I have been watching thrift videos myself due to lockdown and I must say I do have my favourite, i have just stumbled on you channel and you are so right some thrifters do do that. Your tips are very useful and which and as a rule I do when I am in our charity shops here in London UK, which are still shut due toCOV19.

[@CanterburyCottage]

@@riannatripp6594 I am so glad you found my channel! I am so sorry that your thrift stores have not reopened. Hopefully, they will open soon. I adore the UK! I taught British literature for many years to 12th graders. I have only been to England once, but I hope to visit again!

[@patmorrison474]

First time I have seen one of your videos. Loved loved loved it. Oh yes, leave those canisters as they are. If you were here right now I would buy them from you on the spot. Can't wait to see you again.

[@prettyontheinsiderose3216]

Gosh I wish my Goodwill had great prices like yours.....mine is very over priced...small town, big prices..I believe its because they know we can't go anywhere else...

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, my gosh, Rose! I just wrote that in one of my responses to another viewer. I have found that some of the highest prices are in small towns. I live in Peoria, Illinois, which is a mid-size city. The prices vary a lot. I come across a lot of overpriced stuff, too, but I don’t buy it! Because I have a booth, I have to be able to make 2 or 3 times the initial cost for it to be worth my time. Find a thrifting friend and make a road trip to a bigger city!

[@bari2883]

So is ours. Second hand k mart t shirts are more than new ones in the store. I wont start with the furniture. I go to garage sales or yard sales as the USA say.

[@gailremp8389]

Goodwill is doing it everywhere. Don't think you're being picked on. They're pushing as hard as they can everywhere.

[@gailremp8389]

Also, someone posted on a site that was a fellow that shops boots and stuff like that that the manager of the store he goes in is watching as the guys videos. So it's really strange and weird. I wish you all good luck in your redoing on stuff because as we said Goodwill and all the thrift shops are just going for it. I am in Central Florida -- Orlando, Winter Park in Maitland that whole bit. We have some thrift shops such as the Orlando Rescue Mission that prices items for people that need help. And you can get a cute blouse for two dollars. I mean seriously cute. And you could buy a table for four dollars. When my mom died seven years ago I donated everything in the house to the rescue mission. And they priced the items fairly and if the people were a little shy on the money, they lowered the price and then delivered it to them to help them out. That's what Thrift Shops are supposed to do. Not take everybody to the cleaners.

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

I love thrifting - sadly in my area its moree furniture and clothing - not so many home decor items - but still so much fun to thrift and flip!

[@CanterburyCottage]

As the popularity of thrifting grows, it has become harder to find things that I love!

[@susanpantua7460]

Just love watching your videos. It’s inspiring to see what you can do with your thrift finds.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you are enjoying my videos!😀

[@pamdennis1007]

I think I would live with that green for awhile. Then if you arn't happy with it, paint. That little blue box might be a match box holder.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks for watching and commenting, Pam! I really appreciate the feedback. I am still undecided about those canisters!

[@bettyhouk8727]

The basket that looks like an ice cream cone was. Used in the fields in California ! Called a pea basket ! My mom and dad picked sweet peas one season in the Imperial Valley in California ,back in the early 1940 ‘s ! Sweet Peas taste delicious picked right off the vine ! ☀️🍦

[@donna-1234]

Hi! Re the 'recipe box' : I am pretty sure it is a salt box, at least in Europe that is what they are (were) used for ☺️

[@milenamoralesdaniel6056]

Eres increíble!!!!!!! Me he convertido en tu fiel seguidora. Cuánta creatividad!!!!!!! Un abrazo desde Madrid.

[@reneeg5098]

So informative. Thanks! I always scoop up wood candlesticks - they get painted and sell well in my retail space! 😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! Yes! They’re getting hard to find, too!

[@stacypolk3580]

I sometimes think if every wood piece is painted white you have altered its original vintage look. The shelf with 3 shelves in it, I think, should stay original wood. I like colonial looks. The canisters should stay the color they are too. I think variety in color is fun instead of everything white or a specific green color. But thats just me. I was saddened to find out that eating on old dishes could cause Lead poisoning, like depression glass, uranium glass, China, etc. Only current dishes are non- lead and non-cobalt, etc. Vintage and antique dishes should only be decorative. Blahhhhh......

[@lindabeck2036]

Too bad thrift stores have high prices now. I don't get it. People donate stuff to thrift store but now they charge 1/2 or more the cost of buying new. I've found stores like Ross and Marshalls are cheaper and the items are brand NEW. Goodwill is worst for high prices.

[@superannieoakley4513]

The box at 10:15 looks like it went on the mantle to hold matches for the fireplace. Love thinking outside the box! Never thought abt outdoor lamps though. Thxs for the tip!

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are welcome! I did a little research and I’m pretty sure the box is a salt box. Apparently, years ago people hung their salt on the wall in a box! Mine is just a replica.

[@c.d.reynolds9503]

Thanks so much for the tips in this video. What great ideas!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so welcome! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@melm4370]

I’ve recently started watching you from Melbourne Australia. Our savers are sooo expensive. I’m also a Dumpster Diver. Have you ever checked the savers bin? I just can’t justify paying for decor when so much is thrown out. Vases, cane baskets, artificial flowers etc are scored every day thrown out. You’ll feel so much better spending $0!! Especially as you’re reselling it. I know it only may cost you $5 to make something, but all that time and effort you put in, you should definitely tell us what you sold it for :)

[@CanterburyCottage]

Wow, Melbourne! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!🥰 I don’t have Savers in my hometown, only Goodwill and local charity thrift stores. I have not seen the Goodwill dumpsters, but I will certainly keep an eye out. I do find many things that people put out on the curb-I have scored some great furniture this way! Thanks for the suggestion about the prices. I will consider it. The reason that I haven’t is because prices vary so much by location.

[@barbaraness4507]

Most people couldn’t appreciate the amazing deal I got recently, but I know you will. I’d been admiring a beautiful set of Pfaltzgraff dinner dishes for at least a year now. It didn’t have a price on it so I figured it was really expensive. My last visit at that store I decided to ask, and I was shocked at the answer! There was over a hundred pieces in the set, and I only paid a hundred dollars for a sixty one year old set. 😁 That is a Christmas gift for me! Lol

[@CanterburyCottage]

Merry Christmas, Barbara! Your present came early! Under a dollar a piece is an amazing price for a complete set! When I first started thrift shopping on a regular basis, dishes were cheap, but not so anymore. Now, they usually cost as much or even more than new! Thanks for sharing your great find.🥰

[@tericandeloro4082]

You are so inspirational! I just found you earlier today and I’m so glad I did! So much fun seeing your shopping trips and getting ideas. I have 2 of those tall vegetable baskets. My husband wanted to get rid of them but I refused! 🤭 However, it’s 20 years later and I never could figure out just what to do with them. Somehow using tall stems never occurred to me? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do hope you’ll show what you decide to do with yours! 🤗 Great video, and thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas! ❤️

[@randkamal6889]

First time I see your videos , love those women who make use of everything ,,, Haha like me also 😜😂👍👍👍 great stuff and taste

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Sam! In my core, I am a really cheap person, but I think that has made me more creative!

[@flowergirl9794]

I really enjoy your videos. Do you have any advise about drifted furniture and possible bed bugs? I have heard they hide in the wood for some time.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks! I did not know they could hide in wood. I will have to check it out. For the most part, I avoid upholstered furniture unless I know where it came from. I do believe there is a bedbug spray that you could use that kills bedbugs. Not sure how well it works.

[@jcrefasi1]

I was given a wooden barrel that is about 2ft tall. I think it once held nails. It's weathered nicely but has a very rough texture to the point of being dangerous to handle due to splinters. I would love any suggestions you might have for re-purposing it. Thanks! Love your thrift haul! Jo

[@CanterburyCottage]

I would try to sand off some of that roughness. Maybe, just hand sand it, so you don’t disturb the aged patina too much. You could fill it with packing foam or small cardboard boxes or old books , so that the height inside is almost to the top and put a nice plant in it. A spider or other drapey plant would look good. Or, you could top it with a wood round or tray to create a little table. You should be able to find a wood tray at the thrift store. You could just sit it on top or use construction adhesive for a permanent hold. Or, you could clean the inside and stuff it with pillows and a throw blanket that hangs over the edge a bit. If it is really rough on the inside, you could cover the inside with contact paper or fabric to keep it from snagging your pillows. Hope this helps!

[@AcornHillHomestead]

I love St Vincent DePaul. They are great for furniture. I’ve purchased the most fantastic vtg oil paintings over the years. My mother was a painter so I have developed an eye for original paintings of all types. I frequently find chunky wood lamps which I chalk paint and distress, and same with the the wood hanging shelves. They are gorgeous chalk painted. Always looking for candlesticks, pottery and wicker. I recently found a gorgeous begonia leaf majolica tray for $2.95 and a McCoy large jardiniere for $4.95. I just discovered you and subbed to your channel. Love it. A nice departure from the twenty somethings videos.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😊 I wish we had St. Vincent DePaul stores where I live. I always try to check them out when I am out of town. You have certainly found some great items over the years! With employees checking the internet for prices, it is getting harder to find those amazing deals-McCoy for $5! I always keep an eye out for original oil paintings but have only found a few smaller ones (excluding some that were painted by beginners!).

[@pamtyler7429]

Looking forward to seeing what you do with your bargains.As requested by another follower would love a home tour.Enjoying the videos.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I am making over the thrifted items right now. I just took a break for lunch. I will have to do a deep clean before I do a home tour! Crafting is messy!🤪

[@donnaaranda7175]

You have great local thrift stores. Me not so much 🥺

[@CanterburyCottage]

Yes, I do think I am lucky. I grew up in a small town and if you can’t find something at Walmart, you have to drive an hour to the nearest city. My Salvation Army store closed permanently during the lock down, and that was my favorite thrift store. I went so often that I knew all the employees by name.

[@melodymedlock160]

Loved this video. I absolutely loved the larger baskets! I have had a basket problem since I was a young girl. I’ve always been drawn to the ones that are rare to find either because if shape or texture. I would leave the green canisters as they are. Green is in. If they don’t sell then I would paint them. I love their shape, size and the lid shape as well. Thanks for sharing. I live for your videos. I’m still playing catch up. I definitely don’t mind binging them. ♥️👏🏼

[@rhondavanmeter5015]

I wish there was a way to attach pictures. I was pursuing Goodwill yesterday and ran across an original charcoal (colored) drawing of a horse on natural fibered linen or other similar material. It is then double matted. Love the use of natural fiber texture in the material or perhaps a specialized paper. It has a gift inscription on the back indicating that it is an original charcoal dated 1975 with the recipient's name and the artist's initials. It is fabulous in my estimation! $6 for a 14x 25 and I am betting the frame was created by the artist as well. Thought of you. 🤗

[@CanterburyCottage]

What a great find! I love original art and can’t understand why people give it away! I know you will enjoy it for a long time!

[@bridgetulrich1711]

Love the idea of buying old lanterns at the habitat store. I’ve never gone in one because I’m never sure if I’ll find something I want. I’ll start making a stop in!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Our Goodwill and Salvation Army stores don’t accept outdoor lighting because they can’t test them, so Habitat Restore is the only thrift store where I can find them. (And, I don’t care if they work!)😜

[@Blessedgirl1955]

I loved the green canister color but if it didn't sell then I would paint it. I really liked the wood shelf with the seed drawer as well.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Still trying to decide what to do or not do with those canisters! I think the little shelf turned out cute. So pleased that I found it for $2! Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Charlotte!

[@alicejump7245]

Serious thrifting tips, sometimes people say my thrift shops don’t have these items or reasonable prices! I personally think we need your ability to see outside the box! Blessed and safe days!

[@CanterburyCottage]

I agree! If you go in a thrift store looking for things that are current, you will be disappointed most of the time. You have to see how the older things that are available can be made to look current. For me, that’s the fun of thrifting!

[@anikapaldi7161]

[@debbiem4836]

I love in the st louis area. What goodwill have you found furniture. Most don't have more than 1 or 2 pieces of furniture.

[@CanterburyCottage]

I just Googled “thrift stores near me.” I was staying by the Barnes Jewish hospital. Sorry, I don’t remember the addresses. My favorite store was the Lutheran Resale Shop. It was a few miles from the hospital. Not a lot of furniture but great prices on small home decor items.

[@MzLady-rr8gj]

New to your channel , came across your video and decided to watch. Glad I did, I been a thrifter since childhood not by choice but because we were poor. I went back to thrift shopping when I had kids, saved me big money as they grew out of clothes so fast. But now as an single empty nester I can finally decorate more to my taste but without the outrageous price. I am still learning my style lol, but thrift store and habitat store allow me the affordability to change out without paying full price. Thanks for the tips and ideas.

[@CanterburyCottage]

I am so glad you found my channel!😊 I, too, started thrifting because I didn’t have the money to buy new. Back then, I was embarrassed about it, so it is ironic that now I brag about how little I paid for my thrift store finds! It is also nice to change things out without feeling wasteful.

[@CanterburyCottage]

There are many over priced items at my thrift stores, too, but I try to find the cheapest things. For some reason, the prices at the Goodwill closest to my home have gone way done since the start of the pandemic. I think it is because people are donating more, but I’m not sure.

[@kbarnes1927]

Canisters! Leave the original green. They are so pretty as is.

[@CanterburyCottage]

I do like them as is, and I have finally decided what I’m going to do or not do with them. But, you’ll have to wait until Tuesday!🤪

As a Carpenter with 30 yrs and 2 to 3 times all ( what I mean is I have 2 or 3 of each tool) the tools you need I don't feel I have to purchase wood as I always have scraps...but YOU...Sherri or Sherry I am not sure how you spell it.... are right sometimes you go into a thrift store and there is a piece...if you were to make it...even out of scrap wood...is a steal....unfortunately.... for me scrap wood is either used to make a project or heat my shop...so I hear you on the wood pieces...if you are not fortunate to have easy access to wood...grab it while you can...and as a carpenter knowing the price of wood all I can say is... GRAB.... GRAB... GRAB....and lets make something that will stay out of the landfill...

That tall wood basket is cool, but I would turn it over for a tall table, cover it with a glass tabletop or pizza pan. My home is small, so I'd be afraid to thrift since I have no place to put anything. Oh, outdoor lanterns at our ReStore go for nothing less than $75.

[@jbishop_aries3039]

I got a wicker baby basket for free. My mom's neighbor was going to throw it away. I use it to put some of my books in and threw a droopy plant in it. It's so adorable. I love wicker items.

[@lauratruthseekingWarrior]

I love your lanterns, I almost sold one because the glass was broken, bought it that way at a yard sale for $3.00, so I had some glass cut at. I heals craft store to fit the lantern where the broken pieces was. That cost me $10.00, so a large lantern for $13.00! Not bad I say…

It’s definitely a fact that it’s almost impossible to find a wood candle holder at a thrift store. I’ve been looking for one for the past year, with no luck.

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are RIGHT! I think that so many KZbinrs and DIYers have shared ideas on things to do with wood candlesticks that they are snatched up quickly. I’m also noticing that brass candlesticks are hard to find now, too. There was a time that wood and brass candlesticks were always on thrift store shelves.

You have a good eye for design. Paint the canisters. Have fun with your new finds.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks, Betty-Jane! I think I do just want to spray paint them, but I’m afraid most viewers want to see something more exciting.

Don't paint the Bowls, the color is very pretty, Thank You.

If you do a RH up cycle on the canisters they will look fabulous! Also you can use putty to fix chips in the candle stick and then paint it. 😊 very beautiful collection of blue and white. I love how you style your home.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much! Yes, I am planning on using putty! You are obviously an experienced DIYer! I will have to look up the RH canisters. Thanks for the suggestion!

Wow you have such great op-shops in the U.S. Wish we had many more in NZ xx

[@MissMolly3377]

We only have goodwill stores, in my area. There is one little church thrift store, in our area, but I don’t get to that little town, very often.

[@martivasiliades8407]

I visited 2 thrift stores today because I have been watching you !!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks for watching! I hope you found some good stuff! Don’t get discouraged if you didn’t. Sometimes I leave with a cart load and sometimes I leave with nothing.

I hope you didn’t paint the ceramic canisters because I think that they look good like they are.

When buying plates make sure they aren’t marked or scraped.

The little box would be great to hold tea bags if you put the bags inside of a zip lock first.

[@erikabaer7278]

I live 20 minutes from st louis mo in Illinois! Thanks for all the great tips! I would paint the green canisters.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Are you in Edwardsville, by chance? I have friends who live there. I still haven’t decided about the canisters, but I’m leaning towards painting them. Thanks for watching and for the feedback!

[@chereeburtner4659]

Maybe the tall basket upside down could be a Christmas tree?

[@BettsiLedesma]

What a great haul! Please don't paint the cannisters! They look wonderfully cottage to me.

[@CanterburyCottage]

I do love them just the way they are, but you’ll have to watch Tuesday’s video to see what I did or didn’t do to them!😜

[@bagpipes978]

Don't mess with those gorgeous cannisters!!! OMG, they are flawlessly beautiful!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Jennifer, you have not seen the following video? 😬 I did paint them, but I think they turned out really nice. You’ll have to let me know what you think. Here’s the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6nMZ4ptnaaempI

[@brendadennis2081]
