Hi Everyone!
Happy #thriftscorethursday loves!! Today I’m uber excited to be the guest host for Thrift Score Thursday.
I mean, really, Im thinking it was pretty inevitable that one of these days it would happen. Ya’ll know Im a fiend for the hunt, and Im constantly live grammin my treasure hunting adventures on IG, so I was all over signing up for this gig.
For those of you who don’t know what Thrift Score Thursday is, it pretty much goes a little something like this…you hunt, you snap, you share via social media with the tag “#thriftscorethursday”. Each week these rock star ladies listed above share their favs from the week.
Today Im sharing one of my fav scores thus far: an authentic vintage Thomasville faux bamboo chinoiserie/hollywood regency coffee table.
You guys know Ive been on the hunt for a new coffee table since we moved into our little bungalow because, like most of the furniture that came with us in the downsize, the last one was a tad too large for our new much smaller space. Plus I was ready for a new look.
When I spotted this one on a FB yard sale page Im part of, it took me all of two seconds to reach out to the seller
The seller drove a hard bargain, but I was able to get it for $60. It was a little more than I wanted to spend, BUT these beauties sell for well over $500, so I gladly paid. It wasn’t in the best shape, but I knew with a little love and elbow grease I could get it to shine.
Its just the right scale for the space and its the perfect piece to take center stage in our little bungalow living space. The room is coming together slowly but surely, and Im excited to replace the fugly beast of a sofa and bring in some other key pieces as well.
That space in the middle there directly behind the desk is just waiting for the perfect pair of chairs. Maybe they’ll be my next thrift store score! I’m definitely on the hunt. Speaking of…you guys have been on the prowl too and have snagged some AWESOME things. Lets take a gander, shall we?
Nicole (design_it_vintage) scored this amazing pair lamps in the most gorgeous blush tone. So pretty and I love their shape.
Speaking of gorgeous blush tones, Whitney (carpendaughter) snagged up this amazing rug at an estate auction. Errrbody who knows me knows I have this thing with rugs( and patterned tiles), so this find definitely caught my eye.
And last, but certainly not least, Nancy (casacavaliere) elbow checked a few old ladies to secure this beauty for her bestie! Now that my friends is love. Ill take a bestie like that any day.
So have you scored any goodies lately? If so, make sure you tag them on social media and you could be featured! Thank so much Cassie, Brynne, Corinna, and Trisha for letting me join the party today. Until next time loves….

You always find the best bargains! The table looks great, especially all dressed up in black. Lol! I’ve been on the hunt for new dining chairs but no luck yet. I’m trying to be patient.
