The negative comments are so predictable! Yes, I like buying things from thrift stores, yard sales, etc. but I'm not above going to a retail stores and I love this store in particular. I think a layered, collected look looks best, too, but if every single thing in a room is thrifted it can look just as poorly done as if everything was bought new. I have two small children and I don't have time to troll through Craig's List, and go to estate sales and thrift stores to furnish/decorate my entire house. Finding that perfectly shaped thrift store lamp, possibly painting it and then finding a great lamp shade for it is an incredibly time-consuming process! And like some have said, these stores are great for discounted bedding and kitchen supples and other things you wouldn't necessarily buy at a flea market.

Funny, Dulcibella! I just discovered anthroparodie yesterday.

So, so cute!

So funny, I found this same book at the thrift store and we LOVE it. So many old stories that I read as a child that might have gone forgotten had I not found this book. And all for $1.50!

This is amazing!

Love this transformation and her blog. I'm lucky enough to live about 1 1/2 from Richmond and I'd love to go on a "thrifting trip" to her favorite spots.

My mother saved our Richard Scary farm playset and my boys have loved it sooo much. You can find some of these old sets on Ebay, but be prepared to pay!

It should be a known by now that most "repurposing" posts will be commented on immediately by the "stealing" police, whether its milkcrates, paintstirrers, etc. How do we know he stole them? Maybe they were found or given or even bought, as Amanda.Leanne suggested. I can't imagine any sane person snatching up the crates in the middle of the grocery store as soon as the milkman turns his back!

What an amazing and strong family. Thanks for sharing Levi's beautiful room. He is adorable!

Lovely! Thanks for sharing.
