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
This 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.

Oh my gosh, that basket wall is gorgeous! Going to try this at my house after I find a few more cute baskets and chargers. And what a cute li’l pup. ~Jenny
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
I LOVE the basket wall! Would be so great above a bed too for a “headboard”!
Thanks so much, Shelbi! I totally agree… I’ve already started accumulating some more baskets, possibly for our guest room. YAY!
Kelly! The thrift store happy dance is a REAL thing. Loving all of the boho texture you’re bringing to your space 😊
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!
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!
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.
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
Kelly the basket vignette is amazing you have given me such inspiration! Such beautiful content and you home looks amazing ! Thank you for organizing this blog hop so much fun!
You sure made those thrift store finds look fancy! I love the idea of displaying the baskets on the wall. Looks so nice!
