goodwill finds; living room artwork



Colorful art for your living room is cheap and moving fast at Goodwill in Henrietta! Each piece is $2.99.

goodwill finds!

If anyone is looking for artwork for a child's room or for a nursery you need to head out to the Henrietta Goodwill store across from South Town plaza. Each piece is $4.99 or less and is extremely unique.


First up, nutcracker series. These three pieces would be great for a little boy's nursery.




I would definitely incorporate these images above a crib and have lots of fun with different fabrics. See below:




It's so whimsical and playful. You could swap out the floral rug for stripes or polka dots to make it a little more mascueline. Each piece was $4.99.


This little ballerina number was only @2.99!





Lastly, this old school ABC poster is adorable for either a nursery or a playroom. Price tag? $4.99.




Hopefully they are still there if you need them! Good luck.

high chair thrift find

If you've ever researched high chairs before you understand what a struggle it can be! Functionality is key, but is it too much to ask that they be pretty?? I love the classic look of the wooden ones instead of the plastic ones, but they can be reallllly expensive.

My top picks:

The Tripp Trapp is a little too modern for my tastes. The Svan I think is pretty but both carry a price tag over $200..highway robbery if you ask me.

So randomly browsing one of my favorite thrift stores I came across this diamond in the rough:


Price tag? $4.99.....Shelf is on a track and pulls off easily to get my daughter in and out. Only downfall?


Yeahhhhh. Pretty ugly. Luckily, I found this great fabric:


The plan? Well, I dropped off the old cushion with the new VINYL fabric ($9.95 per yard) to my seamstress. And I play on painting the highchair this weekend a brownish black. Final reveal to come! Stay tuned.

eye candy!

Hope these inspire you today!

new fabric


Red linen fabric with pretty blue floral design for sale! Let me know if you're interested.

today's eye candy: kitchens





i have to admit i'm obsessed

Yes! I'll admit it. I'm obsessed with needle point as home decor. As I put together the evidence, I realized just how bad it really is :)



Kitchen ones: "Poppy Seeds," and "Chives" were actually handkerchiefs that were $1.99 a piece. 



Found this beauty at ABVI Goodwill for $2.99 out in Victor, NY. The green is a chartreuse and the pink...well there are splashes of pinks in all different shades throughout my home. 


This one...I'm not too sure about. I bought it on a whim at ABVI Goodwill out in Irondequoit for our son's room. I had to redo the room quickly, but now that it's complete I am thinking about going in a different direction.



Lastly, this one is in our master bedroom. The colors here look a liiittttle crazy, but they are definitely muted. 

Sadly, I don't see myself stopping anytime soon...if I have extra's I'd be glad to showcase them for anyone who'd like them.
