Some of my favorite Yard Sale Finds this Summer!
By Now I'm sure you all know that I'm an avid weekend yard sale shopper. Every Saturday afternoon my Mother-in-Law and I head out on a yard sale adventure. We have a lot of fun, and I always find a few new treasure for our home. Today I thought I'd share some of my favorite Summer finds with you.
Now earlier than you start questioning if all of this backyard sale shopping has turned me into a bit of a junk collector, then I need to let you know that I have had TWO yard income of my personal this summer time. And I donated the whole thing that failed to sell to the Goodwill. Also, I hold a donation container tucked away in my laundry room that I upload to regularly. Whenever I stumble upon some thing that I not love or use, it is going into the container.
Home decor for me is always ever-changing and yard selling is just my way of maintaining our domestic clean and thrilling. I love to find specific gadgets for our home and I actually buy maximum of all of it with quarters. It's high-quality what type of deals I locate.
Here have a search for yourself.
I picked up this vintage part of a door at a yard sale for $1. I fell in love with the layers of chippy paint and vintage door knob.
I'm still unsure what to do with it. I thought about adding hooks and hanging it on the wall, but the doorknob is on both sides and therefore it won't lay flat. Any other ideas? For now, I have it leaning up against the wall in our living room next to some painted shutters and a pair of boat paddles that I picked up at a yard sale last year. I really like the little pop of color that it adds in here.
I blogged approximately this already, but I think it is really worth another point out. Remember this old fish tank? I suppose I paid $2.00 for it.
I cleaned it up really good and then I turned it into a plant terrarium. See How HERE.
It now sits on a shelf in our home office.
Okay you men, I most effective paid $5.00 for this stained glass and copper water fountain!!
I love water fountains and now have 3 of them throughout our home. Perhaps I will do a blog post one day about all of my fountains and how much they have liven up our home.
Here's a brief video to reveal you the way this fountain sounds.
At another yard sale I found this wooden tray. It sits on the counter in our kitchen holding fruits and vegetable. I'm sure it cost $1.00 but I don't remember now.
Also in our kitchen is that this wooden fish trivet striking above the stove pinnacle. You may also have visible it already after I shared some updates in our Kitchen in THIS publish. I simply think this fish trivet is really cool. And handiest .25 cents.
For this next yard sale locate, I have no other pictures, however my acquaintances have been having a yard sale and I bought some blue denim cloth for $1.00, Then I delivered it home and included an ottoman (dog bed) with it it's in our residing room.
Now, I just shared this in my final submit. Just remaining weekend I located of these bubble-glass pendant lighting fixtures. I paid $5.00 total for them.
My Mother-in-Law promised she'd help deploy them if I bought them. So It changed into a Win-Win!
The lights give our kitchen more of a clean modern look now. See more HERE.
Now if you follow me on Instagram, I have a saved story that I call, "Thrift and Yard Sales" where I share all of my latest finds. Here are a couple of those post. You can also see a few of my other summer yard sale finds pictured below.
- A painted blue wood caddy that I now use for holding cleansing materials.
- Black and white Correlle dishes that my boys now use every day.
- A paint curler brush that you recognise I for-positive can be the use of that sometime soon.
- A candle that I were given at no cost, but then I became around and sold it at my yard sale because I failed to genuinely just like the odor of it after all :)
- And a belt. I suppose this can look adorable used as trim on either a lampshade or a pillow or perhaps some place else.
Seriously, How cute is this purse? I use it every day now and love it.
We additionally use that cheese slicer lots, and I'm still ready to get some thing planted in that first rate pot.
