I don't exactly know how to describe my decor. A little bit farmhouse. A little bit boho. A little bit of this & a little bit of that.
My decor consists of a hodgepodge of primarily clearance, thrift store finds, vintage family "heirlooms", craigslist, & Facebook "Buy, Sell, Trade" page finds. Some pieces, like the wall clock you can barely see in the left of the photo above, are from the downsizing of a title office a family member used to work at. The solid wood side table & iron bookshelf in my office, plus various knickknacks were a great exchange for the couple hours of work.
Anything I purchase at "full price" usually comes from Tj Maxx, Ross, or Walmart. The throw blanket & basket are from Tj Maxx. Walmart for the textured white pillow. Botanical pillow cases are from Amazon, 4 piece for $14.99.
A lot can be done with a can of spray paint. The above picture includes an empty Carlo Rosse wine bottle. Thrifted candle bases, the small yorkie planter. A can of champagne spray paint gave several of these items a facelift.
This rocking horse is a facebook find. Basket & galvanized vase on the wall are from a local Dessert Industries. The greenery in said vase was rescued from my Grandmother's 1960s bomb shelter. Even our furniture is from a discount furniture store.
This floor planter was saved from the garbage of a salon I used to work in!! Bar stool is from the same D.I. mentioned before. A few Amazon bargains like the hanging basket.
My mother in law painted the picture hanging on the well below. Some items date back to our first home together. Family dollar finds, like the mirrors that flank our tv. I don't remember exactly but they couldn't have been more than $5-$6 each.
The plant shelf that runs around the entryway and living room is home to a collection of family 'heirlooms'. I put heirlooms in quotes because the definition insinuates value. These are probably only of value to me. A few shadow boxes full of things from my Grandpa's woodsheds. One is full of items from my Great Grandmother's sewing kit, etc. Some items are even from their grandparents. The globe is from my childhood home.
These started out chrome, but spray paint fixed that. ;)
Water color feather picture is from Tj Maxx, $16.99. The bottle in the basket, on the back of the toilet, is an actually an old kombucha bottle that I repurposed as a reed defuser.
Thank goodness junking & thrifting has became trendy because I can finally feel cool! ;)
