Discovering My Unique Style: This Week’s Amazing Thrift Finds


Some days, the stars align, and your thrift store trips feel like a jackpot. This was one of those magical weeks where I scored some incredible finds! I've focused on decorating my walls rather than cramming more furniture into my cozy home. By utilizing wall space creatively, I'm decluttering and discovering my unique style—and it's been so much fun!


I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a home décor natural. But since tossing out the so-called rules and doing my own thing, I've found my groove. Here's a breakdown of my latest thrift haul and how each piece fits into my evolving style


Frames: A Thrifter's Best Friend

I never leave a good thrift store frame behind. While Dollar Tree frames are budget-friendly, they often break or fall apart on me. That's why I always opt for thrifted frames when I can find them. They're usually better quality, super affordable, and easily customized to fit any style. Whether painting or leaving them as-is, these frames are staples for filling up my wall space.




Mass-Produced Décor with a Twist

I'll admit it: I love a good Hobby Lobby inspiration session. But instead of buying brand-new pieces, I like finding similar styles at the thrift store for a fraction of the price. Adding mass-produced items into my home is fine by me, as long as I can blend them with one-of-a-kind pieces. This approach keeps my space looking unique, unlike something you can just copy-paste from a catalog.


Metal Accents: My Secret Weapon

Here's a quirky little fact about me—I'm obsessed with metal décor. I'll spray-paint it in whatever color works for my space, transforming something generic into something distinctly "me." Metal pieces are often sturdy, easy to upcycle, and bring a bit of texture to my walls.




Ready-to-Customize Finds

Some of my favorite thrift finds are what I call "blanks"—decorative items just waiting to be personalized. While I'm not a Cricut pro, I love crafting the occasional vinyl quote or design to make a piece truly one of a kind. Finding these blank canvases at the thrift store saves me money and gives me an excuse to unleash my creativity.


A Touch of Creepy Charm

Maybe it's my Halloween-loving heart, but I have a soft spot for eerie, offbeat artwork. Creepy little pictures add a unique vibe to my home and keep things from feeling too predictable. Whether it's a vintage portrait with mysterious vibes or a dark, moody landscape, these pieces bring character and a bit of edge to my space.





Embracing My Style, One Thrift Find at a Time

Redecorating my walls with thrifted treasures has been a journey of self-discovery. I'm curating a home that reflects my personality by blending cheap frames, metal accents, and even a touch of creepy charm. Check out your local thrift stores if you want to shake things up in your own space. Who knows? Your next perfect piece might be waiting for you on a dusty shelf.
