weekend thrift find

Two bookcases from Goodwill; $20, (and if you've seen my basement) finding an empty wall for them; priceless!


Of course it didn't take long for me to fill them up. But a great thing that happens each time I find a new storage for my finds is that I get so motivated to reorganize and clean- and then discovering some forgotten stuff I thrifted many weeks ago that are yet to be listed in the shop. It's like finding new treasures all over again, I know it's that bad.

I also reorganized my frames and decided to hang them up instead so they're easier to find when they get sold. My computer desk is right across this wall, now I feel like I am being watched from behind by these old couple.  I admit some of my vintage finds does creep me out a little.

  1. It all looks great! I'm jealous of your organization, but I am working hard this summer to get my work space looking good too :)

  2. Wow, if you saw where my creativity happens, you;d probably be afraid-very afraid. The old couple has nothing on the disasters I create with beads and wire! Great score!

  3. What a great find! I bought 2 chests with short drawers, perfect for storing craft materials, from Goodwill a few months ago. They were on sale so I got them for about $8.
    Hanging the pictures on the wall is a great idea!

  4. I just did the exact same thing. Hung all my pictures on the wall so that I can find them easier when they sell and so they don't get damaged. I can't tell you how many times I have reorganized my space. Yours looks great. 8-)

  5. This is fantastic, good find on the bookcases, too. Looks great! I've been considering hanging the vintage art I find, too, but we have plaster board walls and drilling and filling is a real pain! :)
