Vintage thrift shopping in Nürnberg

[@kellymcrae3836]

The drawer attached to the small table is an old telephone table. You would sit on the low end-bench- and the phone sat on the drawer where you would keep the phone book. Very commonly found in the entry hall of houses.

[@cloudyhills]

Ahhhh, I thought about the telephone but didn't know what the drawer was for... a phone book, of course! Thanks for sharing 😄

[@StephanieBacks]

They are called gossip benches where I live. 😊

[@wendyrussell3760]

We had one when I was a child

[@VintageMe23]

​@@cloudyhills can you tell me what the name of the song is that says "all the colors"...? Love that song!

[@amandapark5813]

I had a few of those pieces of furniture in my house growing up; some with a drawer, and some with just a shelf. I always thought they were just a fancy end table; I had no idea they had a specific purpose and name. Thanks for sharing!

[@Katiceful]

i love how you guys communicate with this lovely mixture of english and german, it's super cute :D also, your german has improved so much :) and the things you bought are very cute as well. hope you had a nice few days on your short vacation!

[@Jean980]

Friday night here and had the most chaotic work week. Thrifting and mini vacation with you has been so relaxing for my soul 🙂

[@cloudyhills]

Have a lovely weekend!

[@StripesDIY]

A good and sustainable way of making a mosaic table is to reuse old pottery or ceramic plates. You can first crash them and then reuse it. Saw it somewhere on youtube. ☀️

[@laraangel6862]

stavo per scriverlo anche io ❤

[@trashprince]

The best part about shopping in person is being able to touch everything! I love the little side table you got. If you want to keep the original color, something like restore-a-finish could work. Otherwise you may need a varnish stripper because of how many nooks and crannies the table has.

[@Speilbilde]

The frog doing yoga at 11:35 had me rewind to look at it again 😂 I would have had to bring the little tabletop spinning wheel home, my fibrecraft home needs it. (Also Hello to Pat's Norwegian flag tshirt, that's where I live!)

[@cloudyhills]

Hahaha! For me it was those elephant bookends! Can't believe I missed those cuties

[@RadhikaVanjara]

Loving these vlog style videos interspersed with a bunch of clips in your classic style ❤ For refinishing something with intricate carvings, you could take it to a local place that does sand blasting. It will preserve the piece and you can refinish easily :D

[@shermeen85]

Love your diy videos, it feels very motivating and relatable! I’m a fellow Singaporean who recently relocated to the Netherlands with my husband and I stumbled upon your channel while looking for inspirations to furnish our place. I also enjoy going to the thrift shops here (also like the secretary desks so many of them!). Looking forward to more video uploads! 😊

[@schattenblume4795]

I haven't finished the video yet but I just want to say your videos are always so relaxing. Und ein großen Kompliment von mir dein deutsche Aussprache ist richtig gut und man merkt eindeutig, dass du dich verbessert hast. Und deine Begeisterung für die ganzen schönen Sachen ist ansteckend.

[@cloudyhills]

Danke danke 💕 Schritt für Schritt!

[@din333fan]

I love your videos! Very inspiring ❤️ atmosphere, all these shops with furniture from the past centuries, I dream of organizing such trips in search of treasures. All the things you bought are insanely beautiful. ❤❤❤

[@user-qq2se1lu5c]

Good haul! It looks good in your place. I also appreciate your humor.

[@mae2599]

Those glass coasters can double as really pretty cookie presses for the holidays!

[@cloudyhills]

Oh that's such a great idea!

[@Melaniepipoule67]

I think the amazing table with the Globe is a bar 😊 to put alcohol bottle & fancy glass

[@tihana0603]

Very cozy and fun video! 🤍 Btw the wooden globe thing is actually a mini bar for storing alcohol in a fancy way. 🥂

[@Chibimaru.]

Yayyy so glad to see there you posted a video this morning, I always love me a good Hill's video ! Thanks for taking us with you on your trip🥰 no idea how to refinish the side table but would also be interested in knowing !

[@madzabinga8382]

You have the best thrift hauls. I saw so many neat things on those shelves. And some of that furniture was amazing!

[@michellebarnett4994]

I have a very tiny vase piece of pottery with aqua colored glaze. It is so small, about two inches high, that it must have been put together with very miniscule tweezers or such. I bought it at a craft fair in Connecticut USA about thirty years ago. I wish I had bought a bigger item from the man seller because I'm sure his other things were beautiful, I just can't remember! He signed the bottom with Asian,letters, I assume?? I covet it!! 😻👍

[@bunheadgirls7433]

Wheee! It’s a cloudy hills video day 🎉❤

[@kavithakasthuri9430]

That was lovely! Thank you for taking us along 😊 it's very nice that we can see you in your recent videos!

[@peaphoenix9625]

I absolutely love thrifting ❤😊

[@wendyduncan9084]

I refinish furniture and live in the United States. I would use a chemical stripper and brass brush for all the details. It’s not that hard but must be done outside and with goggles and chemical gloves. You paint it on and wait and then agitate it with the brush. Sometimes you do it a few times. If you are interested I could explain in greater detail.

[@annettelewis9539]

Yours are my favourite videos, always interesting and beautifully filmed and edited. I love jugs too and have to pick up and examine them all even though I have no reason to buy them.

[@rijd2304]

Whenever I go vintage shopping I take the small mindfulness book "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels to keep myself from spending my good budget hahaha

[@cloudyhills]

Hahaha! I withdraw a limited amount of cash to restrain myself from buying everything 😂

[@virginiemartinez1304]

Merci pour le partage de ce joli moment ! c'était très agréable de vous suivre depuis la France, à bientôt !

[@hannahippo]

I have a dining table with intricate legs like the ones on your side table and what I opted for was to just refinish the table top and then paint the legs so I don't have to sand each groove and around round edges on the legs. If you are not married to keeping the wood tone, painting the table a lighter beige or tan would look lovely and highlight the details on the table even more.

[@noemiecaspar7086]

Ich liebe was du machst so sehrrrr!

[@pamelafox7677]

Looks like a lovely trip. Those big thrift halls are to die for.

[@MoniqueSmulders]

You can watch channels like transcend furniture gallery or modern makeovers for tips on how to refurbish the side table.

[@cloudyhills]

Thank you!!!

[@_sarathedreamer]

Every time I see one of your thrifting videos I want to go thrifting in Germany so bad lol 🥰

[@madzabinga8382]

Right? Or just anywhere in Europe.

[@user-hi3gc7jw5j]

11:15 It's to keep your bottles and glass cups to drink (inside the globe)

[@lindaroyal8161]

Very nice pieces, all of them. I especially like that adorable little table. It's in really great condition and I would leave it as is, in it's natural state.

[@homefreshalicious]

Such cool shopping areas and great finds! ❤ Happy weekend to you!

[@birkenlichtung]

Love that you visited my hometown. ♡ Of course you had to visit idee creativ. It's an institution here. Check out the Gebrauchtwarenhof, too (next time). It's a bit shoddy, but I found some pretty cool stuff there.

[@cloudyhills]

Oh yes I've been there before! I confused it with the Archeaktiv Nürnberg that I went, I thought it was the renovated version of it 🙈

[@deana1892]

Always waiting for ur video 😂😂

[@bettyrealpe4370]

Me encanta la estética de tus videos y tu estilo .. buenas adquisiciones me encantó los jarrones y el cuadro del bodegón. Un saludo desde Bogotá Colombia ❤

[@wafaaharry6455]

Toujours un plaisir de visionner tes vidéos

[@chinaliaLeme]

Adoro visitar lugares como brechós e vendas de peças antigas também, obrigada por nos mostrar, tudo muito lindo, aquino Brasil sempre compro peças assim e reformo, seu canal tem me dado muitas ideias, obrigada po isso também, você é uma pessoa muito fofa , continue sempre assim, obrigada e beijos ❤💋🍀

[@Edh1]

You’re such a sweet and talented girl!

[@nama1243]

12:17 this kind table probably for those old telephone ☎️ , you sit as you answer or call someone, I have those kinda table at my house, although mine is bigger and the height is normal, like sofa but has table attached to it.

[@nuna-z]

What a lovely video! My partner and I just got out ever fist house and I’m looking forward to thrifting lots of nice second hand shops in our region (South of the Netherlands). Your video was very inspiring - thanks for sharing so many beautiful things! ❤

[@ismininikolaidou9848]

Πολύ όμορφη βόλτα και ωραίες αγορές. The glass coasters νομίζω ότι είναι είναι πιάτα του γλυκού κουταλιού ( φρούτα σε σιρόπι)... Περιμένω να δω τις αλλαγές στην κουζίνα 🪷💐

[@ccattccat9874]

Heyy just wanted to stop by to say that I live in Nürnberg^~^ It feels so weird to see my home town in your video cause I’m a big fan of yours and your style!💗 You sparked so much inspiration in me! Your videos helped me to make my first own Appartement feel like home😊 Yeah.. that’s all I wanted to say😅 just makes me happy to see that you were in Nürnberg 💕✨ Did you, by any chance, stop by in the Lush Store in Nbg?

[@cloudyhills]

Thank you 🌞 And no, I didn't get to! Maybe next time ☺️

[@only1dutchgirl]

Love the thrifthall tour.. you could use chalkpaint to alter your little table. No need for sanding then.

[@katb.5859]

I found my couch in the thriftstore in Fürth. Amazing quality for its age. Also Veitsbronn (a small village near Nuremberg) has a thriftstore (also Arche activ) with great old furnitures.

[@SaraSmiles29]

It's so nice to see german thrift stores. Theres not as many around I think, especially around me which is a shame.

[@laraangel6862]

è così talmente rilassante ❤

[@JhermySUSCRIBETE]

Esperando un vídeo más, llegando temprano a verlo! Me encantó este vlog! ❤

[@anilbhatia8899]

Hi, I am Sonia from India. I always watch your videos really it's wonderful. Really I learn a lot even I am also very found of makeover home but in less budget. I learnt from you a lot. Thanks a lot. eagerly waiting your next video. 🙏🙏👍👍

[@faerieofstars]

FOR SIDE TABLE: USE PAINT STRIPPER!

[@laineystar00]

Love your videos :)

[@MariaGreece777]

Here in Greece, we use these glass pieces for serving jar sweets or cake etc. Are they really used as coasters there? Seemed strange to me.

[@EMILYYC773]

Hi which is it or where is your sideboard from? With the jugs on it

[@mbuck5044]

Great haul finds!

[@ivequiry]

Loved the trip and the things you bought . I liked several jars that you showed that I had to repeat that part of the video 😊😊❤

[@LaleLiddell]

Love this video so much

[@zsllh_]

Hi @cloudyhills may i know what your colour paint of your wall there ? 😊

[@kellyscanlon8594]

Do you know where I may purchase a similar little blue paint tray to the one that you always use?

[@cloudyhills]

If you're located in Germany, Hagebaumarkt or Bauhaus!

[@carinaurban5537]

A little tip, do you know there’s a Idee kreativmarkt at Stachus in Munich, too? Nice video 😊

[@cloudyhills]

Yes! But I hardly go into the city at Munich 🥹 So I take my opportunities when we're on road trips 😆

[@lorimecikalski3079]

looked to me like that globe thing was a bar cart

[@cloudyhills]

Interesting 🧐

[@snackyb3ar]

Yay 😁🎉

[@FarahanieFauzi]

may i know the dimension of your dining table..is it 3x6 feet?

[@cloudyhills]

Don't know what it is in feet, but it's 95 x 170 cm! :)

[@Animefreak242]

I made it to a premiere of the video

[@gabrielebruhl1218]

😀

[@gildetefarias3596]

Não temos nada disso aqui no Brasil.😢

[@user-hi3gc7jw5j]

I know you are itching to put your own mark and the picture frames and the cute little table... but I wouldn't. Do not "improve" on the already beautiful! The reason you were attracted to them is because of it.

[@otoufunonikki]

hello, 🇯🇵I'm enjoyed your video👍 I love your DIY and organizing video🧹🔨 I'm suvscrived your channel☺️ I'm looking for your video! from japan, thank you!

[@Liza03V]

Those are not glass coasters.😂😂😂😂Is similar to all European countries I presume. The purpose is to serve fruit sweets that were homemade by grandmothers and mothers all over Europe.. My mother used to make the grapefruit peal and turned it into a deliscious homemade sweet with syrup. The furniture with the drawer and the seat is called 'gossip seat' because is were they put the telephone set'rotary'one back in the old days when cell phones didnt exist and normaly the housewives had a seat and gossiping. This is why is called 'gossib seater'. Most probably you didnt have it in your culture. Thank you for taking us with you in NUREMBERG and thrifting. Good buys.

[@dkong7264]

Where are you from? I'm German. My grandparents have been using them as coasters since I can remember. When I paid visits to my friends' places, they were used as coasters too. The ones used to serve sweets are slightly bigger. Also she's saying the german name of Nuremberg - Nürnberg.

[@Karincl7]

Mothers all over europe ?? 😂😂

[@hp3076]

No, they are definitely coasters- your mom just repurposed a coaster.
