Hey There!
While I’m definitely one to “ooh” and “aah” down the aisles at Target and West Elm, there’s something refreshing about looking at a space and being unable to completely replicate it. I’ve grown more and more to love this style so as I redecorated bits and pieces of my bedroom, thrifted lighting came in.
The first piece was the ceiling light. The short story of this light is Brynne found it and being the awesome person that she is, shipped it to me upon my request. It’s perfect in every way imaginable.
The next piece that came in is the hobnail milk glass and wood table lamp. I found it at the Goodwill (I freaking love that place! Didn’t know I had one so close until recently) for $5 and the size is perfect and I enjoy the unique look.
And the last piece I brought into the space is this perforated lamp shade. I just picked it up last weekend. I’d seen these before online but never in person. It’s so pretty and girly. The contrast with the sleek modern lamp is a treat.
Now that I’ve shared my recent thrift scores, here are my favorites from the feed:

That lamp is great! I love milk glass and have seen it mixed with metals but never with wood. Cool find. There were lots of great boho finds in the feed this week I love those plant hangers, they look like something I’ve seen at Urban Outfitters.
