I have been trying not to go to Goodwill too often, but we live near four of them and it's hard not to go once in a while. I have scored a few good things lately.... Can you guess what is from Goodwill in the picture above?
$50 bucks for both. They are well made but a little worn. It makes it ok to put your feet up and the other day there were 10 sweaty boys sitting around my living room. I was glad I could just relax and let them hang out, I wasn't worried about the chairs getting ruined. I love them and couldn't believe I found orange ones!
$25. I like it. I like that it brings some blue into a very warm palette of colors in this room.
$10 for the lamp
Different room, but $30 for the chair. It is a lazyboy and very comfy. This is where I read my scriptures. I like having them set out, it helps me remember to read.
$80. I painted it and bought new hardware. So I spent another $60 on that. This is solid oak from Broyhill and very heavy. We have it in our bedroom, it's nice to have the TV hidden. The plant on top was $4, I just put it there. I'm not sure if I like it there or if I need to add something.
There you have it. I have gotten lucky, but I need to stay away. It's fun to go because you never know what you will find!
the goodwills there in arizona are much much better than the ones here in vegas. i go often and find nothing but junk lately.
ReplyDeleteYour good will looks like you live in Beverly Hills or something. I love the two chairs and the scripture chair. You are getting lucky on your finds.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I need to go with you shopping at the Goodwill, cause whenever I go I cannot find anything but overpriced crap.
ReplyDeleteYou bet Whitney. If you'll take Haley to the mall. :) I think I've just been lucky a few times.
ReplyDeleteNow that I will be living next to you, you need to help me find some good stuff for our home. I see lots of trips to Goodwill in my future!
ReplyDeleteI love it all!!! I'm a Goodwill Junkie too, but since we aren't in a permanent home, I've got to keep it simple like lamps and stuff. I found a cute lamp that I have in my bedroom. I even found out there is a GOODWILL OUTLET here! What the heck?! :) I haven't been yet. You definitely have found some good deals. Sometimes I can find great deals and other times nothing. If we had more room, I totally would have snatched up this way cool antique desk, but with such longing sadness I had to pass it by. :( When we get settled, I will DEFINITELY be making trips to the Goodwill! Isn't it so exciting to get such great deals, re-fashion things a bit and then have such a unique piece of furniture or decor?!
ReplyDeleteOh, I was going to tell you that a nice big decorative plate and maybe a lantern with the plant in your room might look good!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Kris, I'll have to keep an eye out. You bet Julie!!! I can't wait! :)
ReplyDeleteA girl after my own heart. Wow, I thought I was the only one who decorated my entire house with my Goodwill purchases. It all looks gorgeous. Thanks for visiting me at www.mydeartrash.blogspot.com
