Vintage Vanity Dresser With Mirror

 

Hello, and Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies! Here you will see pictures

for a piece I brought home on Monday, is now in my bedroom, and
waiting for me to clean it more, polish it, put the missing drawer back
into it, and....the bench that came with it I need to get by it too! Those 2 items did not make it into these pictures, sorry. I first seen this I thought of my grandmother, and the bedroom set she use to have that was in such great condition too! She had the vanity, dresser, and the headboard that all matched, great wood color, and I can still remember helping her clean at home, and polishing the set for her too.

So, anyway, hubby told me to get this home it was my anniversary gift. I hesitated as you know how old wood is, seen some flaws with this, seen some minor places where things were done a bit differently. But, still reminded me of grandmother, and fits with our bedroom perfectly!:) I even found her old jewelry box that use to sit in the middle drawer which I have added to this myself too. Only thing grandma didn't have was the bench like I do:)

Thanks for visiting, and hope you enjoyed the visit too! Remember, always welcome to visit my other pages with the clickable tabs at the top, leave comments, share things, and etc. Take care, and see you again. 

Thrift Store Treasures Found From Past Week

Thrift Store Treasures Found From Past Week. Hello, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies! Glad to have you here:) Below you will see different pictures of things I found while Thrifting on Friday, and a few from earlier in the week too. Hmmm...what to do with them, what to do. I was thinking of keeping the lamp for me. Hey, gotta treat myself now and then too:) LOL:) I was also thinking of painting the wood to blend in more with our decor at home too. The other things....Well, got some ideas. The plates with the glass candle sticks are ready for attaching, going to make it a 3 piece set of matching. 2 of the glass candle holders are exactly alike, and the 3rd glass candle holder is like the 2 matching, but a bit shorter, and more rounded top. 

So, have a look, any ideas would love to hear from everyone too:) Thanks for visiting Thrift Store Junkies today, and hope ya'll have a super weekend. Happy Thrifting, and may you find many treasures to adorn your home.

Wood Lamp does work, has a bit of an older cord with it, but looks made too. Top is like a wooden bowl that can be found, and etc. 

Close up shows a milk white glass candle holder, glass candle holder, green glass bowl with tarnished base, the wire hanger in back of picture was on the small green glass bowl up front. 

2 hankies, 2 cloth napkins matching, green and white lace, a pink and white ribbon, and some knitting needles with 2 each for the colors I found. Got me some ideas for these:)

Actually I had found together 4 saucers with no cups, designed rim, silver line rim, and cute pink rose in center. 3 of them will be getting repurposed with the glass candle holders also in view here too.

Close up to the saucer plates that will be repurposed soon.

Another close up showing the glass candle holders that will be repurposed with the plates. Set of 3 will be sold together too. 2 glass candle holders are identical in height, 3rd glass candle holder is also identical to the other 2 except for the height...very slightly shorter, and has a more rounded top. 

Hope you enjoyed the visit, and the treasures offered for viewing. Have fun with some thoughts, ideas, and maybe something to help you with your creations a little bit too. Take care, and see you again:)

Metal Tin Tray Blue Gingham Design

Metal Tin Tray Blue Gingham Design

Welcome to LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies! Pictured above you will see 1 metal tin tray I had found with others....that I did not get pictured yet. Along with this tray I found one that is soooo retro looking, a red tray, and then I found a black tray that has a floral design with it. I will have to get more pictures to better show you what I had found. 

There are sooo many things that can be done with these trays. They can be used as memo boards...magnets do work on them, I have seen many make chalkboards with them, others have used some mod podge with pretty papers, added a little lace, some keys, ribbon, and etc....they are all adorable when done!:)

Not much else to show right now. Sorry, but not doing much Thrifting this weekend. When hubby is home kind of hard to get anything done around him....LOL:) Hopefully Monday I can make a run. Will see. Thanks for visiting with Thrift Store Junkies page. You are welcome to visit all my other pages as well too. Keep an eye on Second Time Treasures page as that is where I show some of my thrifting items that have been repurposed:) 

Have a super weekend everyone!:)

Mikasa Thrift Store Finds Repurposed

Welcome to LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies page! Glad to have you here. I thought I would stop by quick to show you a picture of some more finds I forgot to show before. You will see 3 plates with this picture, and 2 glass candle holders too. I have decided to make a 3 tier plate with these, and crossing my fingers it will turn out as I am imagining too:) The pieces blend very well together, and the plates along with the candle holders are in a like new condition too! Fabulous coloring, and shine:)

I started gluing some of the pieces tonight. So, if you are wanting to maybe see the finished product hop on over, and keep updated with my Second Time Treasures page where I have been showing completed projects I have been accomplishing so far. 


Thanks so much for visiting, and hope you enjoyed the visit. Questions are welcomed along with leaving comments, and sharing with all of us too. Thanks again everyone!:)

Thrift Store Finds for LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies

Here is a full view of items purchased to repurpose with. Came home with a box full, and was happy with my finds so far. They all have been washed, dried, and now waiting for me to glue them, and do what I would like to do. I got 2 cheese condiment cloches, glass candle holder, 3 green plates...New, unused, adorable blue plate, stoneware candle holder, and the aqua blue tall vase/holder. 

Closer look at the 2 cheese glass dome cloches, and the tarnished look stoneware candle holder. Possibilities, right?:)

The tall aqua blue vase I probably will put in my kitchen bay window with some flowers...love the color in this! The glass candle holder is for a 3 tier plate I will be repurposing. I have another glass candle holder matching this. I know I could mix, and match a bit, but if I can match things up with the glassware, I will surely do that:)

More green coloring seen in person. Tag plates...dinner plate, and 2 salad plates with a brown rubbed like design used lightly through out the plates. These were new, had tags, and will be fabulous when done repurposing them:)

This plate was adorable, and I could not pass up. It has some crackling in it, back side is all white, I just love the button design that is around the rim of the plate itself!:) Cute, and will have a use some where. Hmmm....I just remembered, I do have a white ceramic candle holder that was not used yet. That might just be the one to go with this plate too:)

On Sunday hubby sleeping from working ditches all morning. I went into town to get few items needed for his work, and home. Then....why not? I shot over to the next town to visit the Good Will there. I don't frequent them often as their prices are terrible, but was fortunate with items found on Monday. I also got a St Johns purse that I honestly believe to be brand new, and unused. I was happy with my box full of items, and only paying $10 to have some more things to repurpose with too.

Make sure to keep an eye on my Second Time Treasures Blog Page....tab at the top of this page. There I show my repurposed items I have completed. I try really hard to show the before, and then the after pictures so that you can see what was done. I enjoy repurposing things, being creative, and I hope you all will enjoy with me too. First things first....gotta go thrifting to find treasures to work with, right?:) Thanks for visiting LilacsNDreams Thrift Store Junkies page. Enjoy, be safe, and see you again everyone.
