Change can be good and when it comes in the form of “Thrift” that means it’s a delight!  If you recall my Saturday Thriftscapade post I had thee most fun time in Atlanta thrifting with my son and not to mention we found some real goodies.  So before I show you more of my findings, let’s take a look at what I’ve got and how I styled it.  Of the pictures I showed in the post, there was a coffee table.  I’ve been looking for another one for quite some time.  It’s not that I didn’t like the one I previously had but I’ve had for over 20 years and felt it was time for a change.

I did purchase the round gold iron table for $30.00.

and this ginger jar for $10.00

I was, again, nervous because the style is totally different from what I was looking for.  When I got the table home – getting it out the truck was a pure struggle..  No kidding, this table was heavy as hell.. The glass top alone had to weigh at least 75lbs and the bottom – another 100lbs.  My husband dropped at least 10 “F” bombs carrying it up the stairs.. and when I said we’ll be testing it in the space.. he said, “you can test it all you want.. but it ain’t leaving” … yikes.. uh oh…. looks like I’m stuck with it for a while.  So… here it is in the living room

Amir had two love seats in his apartment and wanted a larger sofa for his place.. something he could stretch out and lounge on.

He was the one who scored the sofa for $37.50.  He got it home and it was a perfect for his space.  We removed the cushion covers and washed them, sprayed the foam and gave a heavy vacuum followed by Lysol spray and finished with Fabreeze.  The round coffee table was too small and we hopped to another Goodwill and found the rectangle coffee table for $12.50

All fresh and he gave it a quick lounge test…lol

And now he’s feeling like a winner.. heeeheee….

His apartment is tastefully decorated and all done on a budget.

I was the one who grabbed the botanical print for the the guest room

So you  see…. thrifting can also be a family affair … it’s all good when we can find items without breaking the bank.   Not to mention, like I said in the beginning – change is good and when you decorate on a budget it’s even better.  I’ll be back Saturday with more finds during my thriftscapades.   I hope you’re having fun while you thrift your house into a home

CIAO!!!!!
