I am a thrifter, whole heartedly! Great find 🙂
Sanna says
So true!
Irene says
Really? Is $300-400 the going rate for that simple table? Ridunkulous.
Richella says
What a great post. I'm so glad you took the time to assemble these photos. What a great reminder!
Stacey says
I am never this lucky! Whenever I look they have absolutely nothing.
Country Dreaming says
And because the "thrill of the hunt" is worth it in the end!
That's why I love garage sales too.

Andrea says
I love thrifting. I think you have inspired to visit a little favorite shop of mine.
Jules says
I am so on your page. Love it! Great job.
Creative Decor by Brooke says
Yesturday I was asking "Why Thrift?" I went to two different thrift stores and found absolutely nothing! I vowed to never go back.
Now you find this and have to pass it on. It almost makes me want to go back, maybe!

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
I like your find better than the most expensive one you show!
Momma to Bug n' Bear says
Awesome! I can't wait for the transformation that is to come of this table.

Heather @ McKinney Living says
Fantastic!!!
christy says
Great find! I love thrifting!
I bought a Ethan Allen dining table, W/2 leaves from a local furniture consignment store for $200, retail would have been $1500+. It needed some refinishing, but nothing I couldn't tackle. It has proudly served in my DR for 7 years & I constantly get positive comments on it. My fav purchase!
Blarney says
I'd like to know why our thrift stores seem to only carry clothes lately … where's the good stuff people!
The Thriftress says
That is a great score!
rebekah says
i just love thrift shopping!! its all in the looking! it takes time but its totally worth when you find that 1 amazing thing your looking for!
Lynn says
It helps to have something in mind. My sisters decided on a specific type of furniture or decor, and then spend months at yard sales and thrift shops until they find it. They say the hunt is half the fun!
**** April **** says
OH MY GOSH!!! wow…
shannon says
I got one just like that at the goodwill for $5.
Robin says
WHAT!
A steal! Can't wait to see where you use it.

Jerri-Lea says
Umm, Ethan Allen for $419? Yikes!
Great find! I so wish we could spend the day together hitting thrift shops, crafting and baking up a great batch of cookies or cupcakes!!
Carrie says
I am so jealous! Lucky you.
Cottage Dreamers says
Wow!
Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality says
You certainly don't have to convince ME, ya know?! That's a great thrifty find.
AND, your mom's kitchen painted white really looks great, she did do good.
Sarah Sarniak says
I could not agree with you more! Thrift store shopping rocks.
Red Door Home says
Just found your wonderful blog. I plan on coming back for feature friday!
Heidi Parson says
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your blog!! Decorating is my passion!! Thanks so much for your amazing ideas!
nikihas3 says
Our thrift stores are overpriced as well. I have found the wonder of Craigslist! I just scored a wonderful coffee table for $7! I know exactly how you feel.
Tales From My Empty Nest says
I am a Goodwill shopper. I love a bargain! It's so much fun to see what kind of treasures I can find each time I go to shop. Love & blessings from NC!

I had the best thrift store day, yesterday! Oh how I love them. Ps, I like your table better than any of these.
Ruth says
Great find!!!
I do not seem to find such great deals at our local thrift stores. 🙁 Things are always higher priced and not so great.

Carmie - the Single Nester says
Oh my gosh! I love it! And how dare Target for that high price!
Kristen says
Fabulous…I'll have to now think of a better name for you other than TwitaDUM. 🙂 You are one smart cookie to get a deal like that!
Julie says
Your post inspired me to make a trip to SA yesterday afternoon – luckily it was a super rainy day here in the Boston area, so the store was dead. I found tons of great little things, plus five Disney books and a Sesame Street DVD for my little ones, and walk out having spent $17.
My favorite find was a candle holder similar to this Pottery Barn one: http://www.potterybarn.com/products/multi-votive-display/?pkey=ccandleholders
But mine cost $2.99 and I actually like it better than the PB one!
I love it! Thanks for the inspiration to go.
Gina says
Score.
Daisy says
love your site, love your postings…YOU ROCK and you inspire me. 🙂 I need to find some good thrift stores in Plano, TX – any thoughts? 🙂

Chris, you're a girl after my own experienced designer's heart. I love your blog and your attitude toward DIY and thrift. You could go one step further if time and energy permitted and check out yard sales, too.
