Some of my recent thrifted finds

 This lamp, shade included, cost $3 at Salvation Army.
I found these cutesy snack pictures at a thrift store in my area, Second Life Thrift Store (possibly my favorite), for $1 each. They are soft-backed, therefore incredibly easy to hang.
They fit perfectly above my kitchen sink!
This mirror cost me $5 at Salvation Army. The entertainment center was inherited by my husband from his uncle, who made it himself.

This lamp was $2 at Salvation Army. The shade was at Second Life for $3. Not too shabby.
All of these frames were at various thrift stores for less than $1 each. The candle was a gift. The change tray was $.50 at Second Life, the coaster was part of a gift set, the red doily was $.10 at Salvation Army (I got several of them), and the "M" box is from Marshall's for $4.99.
This is my home office area. It's part of my livingroom, but I wanted it to be its own space, so I hung this tapestry, which I found at Salvation Army for $3. The desk was my in-laws'; they were going to throw it out. The chair (which is one of my most proud DIY successes) was $8 at Salvation Army. The mirror was at Goodwill for $10.
This is my $8 chair, with the $3 pillow from Goodwill on it.
I centered my desk around that feather art from Mexico. I loved the colors in it, the detailed handiwork, and the hand-carved frame. I also loved that it only cost $1 at Goodwill.
The lamp is from another area thrift store called Village Discount Outlet, and it was $6. The blue frame is from the dollar store for $1, the bird figurine was $.80 at Salvation Army, and I painted it white. The trinket box is from Marshall's for $2.99, and the tissue box cover was $.50 at a thrift store called Bibles For Missions. The woven placemat was part of a set of three from Salvation Army, and the set cost $2.
   So those are some recent decorating projects I have done with my home over the past couple of months. I am always changing things, so I'm sure I'll have more to post soon. I hope this inspires you to see what you can do for next to nothing, and as always, happy thrifting!
