Thrifty finds give me a thrill….a lot of times I have to rely on my imagination when I find a salvage or castoff item….for example the mirror above the buffet was an old black mirror I had laying around. By adding lots of sea shells, I ended up with a new mirror for very little money….not bad for a cheapskate. {the buffet also is a thrifty find.}
Most of my rooms have something in them that was once in a thrift store, salvage yard, etc. ….I can’t bear to pay high prices for designer pieces…plus I love the hands-on- style.
I love taking the unexpected and turning it into something fun for the room.
I’m not sure what my style is perhaps it a “mash” up of casual-meets cottage- meets- industrial. I’ve always thought…if you like it you will make it work and it will be perfect for you.
Do you look for “Thrifty finds” to use in your home? If so tell us about them.

I absolutely use thrifty finds at my house. My favorite is in my kitchen. It’s an old Coca Cola bottle crate. I stood it on its side, rolled up my dish towels, and stuck one in various spots. I love that it’s not a traditional use, that the crate is not just collecting dust, and that my towels are readily accessible.
