Just how many fabric items can you make pillows with? I quickly came up with 4 that you have too!


 


I decided to raid my linen closet and find something to make pillows with.  Most of this stuff has been in this drawer for years.  I sometimes use maybe 10% of what is in here.  Well, today I am showing you how you too can raid your linen closet and make pillows.  

I use placemats, fancy towels, and table runners for a no-sew project.  Essentially you need hot glue and or no-sew fabric tape and an iron.  Also, some cute tassels or dodads can be added for fun and whimsy.

Lets go antique shopping at Dragonfly Antiques for something to thrift flip or DIY or decorate with




Walkthrough this giant antique mall with me. For this kind of place, I found a lot of pretty good deals. Usually, these places are too overpriced to be called thrift. I was able to find many items at a fair price here. I got so much excellent footage that I split this video into two. Part two will be out next Sunday, be on the lookout it will also include the haul. While editing this video I saw so many things I am thinking about going back for. Be nice to include it all in the haul video. After shopping, I had a chance to chat with the owners. Great folks, very informative. I imagine if you have seen something you just couldn't live without and were willing to pay to ship they could make something work for you. I would absolutely love it if some of the "mom and pop" hometown places I film could get a little business out of my videos. Tell them Junk Shack Baby sent you ;) Love this place? Here are their stats Dragonfly Antiques 636-456-5786 They are also on Facebook under dfantiques #antiqueshopping #thriftshopping #thriftflip #thrifthaul #resaleshop #junkshackbaby

Turning a free dresser into something primative cottage like or vintage farmhousey to sell




 Using Debi's DIY chalk paint I give this worn-out dresser a completely new look. It really needs new drawer bottoms and a new top but with the price of lumber right now I decided to NOT fix everything. It all still works very well so keeping it simple was my best option. I used wallpaper to line the bottom of the drawers which keeps the contents nice and clean.

The paint colors I used were Bohemian Blue, Gypsy Green, and Crinoline white. It was coated with 3 coats of Krylon Clear Matte spray paint and left to dry overnight. This dresser/buffet feels very cottage core to me. Like it could have been in some french country house, passed down for generations. I am getting a new dining room set tomorrow so we will see if it looks good with that. I will likely be selling this piece at our summer garage sale but until then it is sitting pretty in a corner of my dining room. I've already used it as a mini serving buffet and it holds a bunch of tablecloths, napkins, and in one drawer tax papers and receipts. LOL!

Thrift shop a high-end store for home decor, craft items and furniture plus the haul of items bought




Today we stroll around my favorite high-end thrift store. They have the best decor, clothing, and furniture options in this small town. Usually, I do not look at clothing but I know where to go when I need something nice for a special occasion. Beginning with this video I intend on posting a thrift-with-me video every Sunday. This is in addition to the normal Wednesday painting/crafting/DIYing video I already post. I am very excited about this edition of the channel.

Spring Opener - Porch makeover - Deck Transformation - Patio update - This video is all these things


 


Opening our deck with furniture cushions, a gazebo cover, and a new rug. Some of the plants are just about to open up and some I missed and are already faded. This back porch is my favorite spot on the entire property. During summertime, you can usually find hubby and me sitting out here enjoying the gardens. We are hoping to build a new shed this summer and by me saying that here in this video it is bound to happen, right? ;)

Thrift flip items from the best sale ever | FREE is my favorite four letter "eff" word




 Join me as I show you my girlfriend's warehouse sale. She had so many cool things, vintage, rustic, home supplies, and decor. I was in my thrifting dreamland!! We had a beautiful day for a sale and probably 50 cars showed up. The stuff was leaving the sale faster than they could get it out. Lots of cool antique bed frames, outdoor furniture, and lawn care. Her husband makes signs and farmhouse decor out of scrap lumber they take off of jobs.

I got a dresser from there that I plan to thrift flip for profit but not until I use it for a bit. Always like to keep some of my items and live with them. Sometimes they find a permanent home, sometimes they find a new home. Make sure you are subscribed because the dresser is finished and you wouldn't want to miss that project. It turned out pretty cool even though it's not my style of decor. #thrifthaul #thriftfinds #thriftflip #garagesale #yardsale #warehousesale #vintageitems #vintagetools #tools #antiquetools #antiquebedrame #thriftshopping #thriftsale #farmhouse
