Sharing some fabulous thrift store finds that were re-homed in my living room and on my dining room table! It’s amazing what simple decor updates can be made — and on a budget!
When I lived in St. Louis, there was a Goodwill about 5 miles from my house. It’s safe to say that I made a lot of trips (or stops) there. Sometimes I had no purpose at all and other times I was a on a mission.
Since moving to the Springfield-Rogersville area, I haven’t made too many trips to thrift stores. As a result, this was a fun challenge for me. Finding some great pieces and sharing them with you (styled in my home). I was also able to put my Thrift Store Shopping Tips into action too.
As many of you know, I really love the farmhouse style. However, since getting a couple of new pieces of furniture over the holidays, I’ve been adding some bohemian vibes to my living room.
Simple Decor Updates using Thrift Store Finds
With that decision, I thought I would add a boho basket wall vignette to one of the walls. We’ve been in our house over a year and I haven’t hung a lot of stuff. Fear of commitment, maybe? Haha. My mom and sister have been giving me a hard time about that. So, I was pretty proud of myself for committing to this idea!
Anywho, I scrounged up a couple of baskets I had on-hand and then visited a couple local thrift stores/vintage markets to complete the vignette. I laid all of them out on the floor to get a visual — snapping a picture with my iPhone.
Sometimes you have to think outside the box when you’re not finding what your looking for too! As you can see below, I used a plate charger and wicker paper plate holder in my vignette.
I think they vignette might evolve over time, but I did fall in love with this display. It’s simple, yet makes a statement at the same time. And better yet — it was super inexpensive to pull together.
A second item among my thrift store finds was this awesome sauce basket. It could be used for a trash can or (in my case) a plant holder.
Boho Plant Holder
Boho Plant HolderThis cost me $6.99. Funny enough I had my eye on a wicker plant stand from IKEA earlier this year, but upon seeing it in the store, I decided against it. And then I scored this beauty!
A happy dance may have taken place in the thrift store… and I had no shame (wink). My sweet Parker wanted to get in on one of the pictures too.
And last but not least, I saw this sweet vintage flower vase. I loved that it was a neutral color with green accents, making it perfect for a spring arrangement.
The coral rose color really brought it all together and made a beautiful centerpiece on our dining table. Fresh flowers are always welcome in my home!
So, what do you think? Pretty great finds, right? These pieces were a welcome addition to my home!
What are some of your favorite thrift store finds from over the years?
I mentioned earlier that this was a collaboration with some of my blogging gal pals. Well, last year I was lucky enough to serve on a Fashion Panel with a retail store — and some of these lovely ladies were on that panel with me. We thought it would be fun to share each others thrift store finds, from fashion to home decor. I hope you’re inspired… aaaaand I think you might make a few new on-line friends too! Enjoy.

Thanks so much, Jenny! I didn’t know I would love it so much, but I do. Decor that doesn’t break the bank for the win!! -xo
Shelbi says
I LOVE the basket wall! Would be so great above a bed too for a “headboard”!
Kelly Rowe says
Thanks so much, Shelbi! I totally agree… I’ve already started accumulating some more baskets, possibly for our guest room. YAY!
Jen says
Kelly! The thrift store happy dance is a REAL thing. Loving all of the boho texture you’re bringing to your space 😊
Kelly Rowe says
Thank, Jen! I concur…the thrift store happy dance probably is a REAL thing, especially when you score a great find. Boho colors and textures are really tugging at my heart strings lately. It has a lot of versatility though too. HUGS!
Cassie says
Those baskets are too cute! Love the way you styled them on your wall, and that basket you added to your plant is such a nice complement to them. Your home is so beautiful!
Kelly Rowe says
Awww. You’re too kind, Cassie. Thanks so much for loving on my baskets and home. You’ve been doing a lot of renovating at your house — it is not for the faint of heart, is it? Hugs to you, friend.
Cassie says
No it definitely isn’t for the faint of heart! We’re always happy with the results when we complete a project, but starting we are always scared to death! LOL
