In my bathroom, I have a freestanding wicker cabinet. I freaking love this thing for storagw. The piece itself I thrifted through Craigslist. And there’s a few thrifted pieces on top of it, too. So let me take you on a peek of the piece for #thriftscorethursday.

The little brass trunk I use for burning incense (my favorite way of bringing a scent to a space!). And the basket was just 25 cents.

On the lower shelf I have another thrifted basket that I keep a handy hand towel in. And the blue and white container was less than $1!

And here’s the view when you’re sitting on the toilet 😛

Before we dive into my favorites from the feed, I wanted to introduce our guest host for this week. She’s also been perusing the tag and has chosen a few favorites to feature as well!

Features:

Wanna Play? Here’s The Rules!

• We want you to participate! Hit up your local thrift stores, craigslist, yard sales, estate sales, side of the road, anything! Thrifty doesn’t necessarily mean from a thrift store. We want to see your good deals, wacky finds and treasures.
• Don’t feel like you need to save those finds for Thursdays! Yes, features are shared on our blogs and Instagram on Thursdays, but we’re all checking in on (and using!) the hashtag all week long. So, when you see/find it, feel free to share it!
• Want to get featured? Add the #thriftscorethursdsay hashtag, Follow the hosts (@the_gathered_home, @primitiveandproper, @adesignerathome and @maggieoverbystudios) and tag a friend to play along, too!
• Each week, Cassie from Primitive and Proper, Brynne from The Gathered Home, Maggie fromMaggie Overby Studios and Myself (A Designer At Home) will pick a favorite thrift score or two to feature! So please note that by linking up with #thriftscorethursday, you are giving us permission to share your finds via social media or on our blogs.

The best part? There are 4 regular posts to check out every Thursday! Yup, you’ve got more thrift scores to look at. I know you’re not disappointed. Ha. Click on my beautiful cohost’s faces below to check out what they’ve scored and featured.

If you missed last week, for the next few weeks I’m going to skip sharing new finds in lieu of sharing old and forgotten thrift scores in different areas of my home (vignette/wall/furniture decorating). Last week I started out by sharing what’s on my media cabinet. Today, I thought it’d be fun to share from my dining room.

The surface we’ll look over today is the dresser I use in my dining room as a buffet, or credenza I could call it, too, I suppose.

It’s always served good purpose as my plant hospital. Plants either end up in the trash or in anorthern part of my house once they come here. This is no plants permanent spot. It’s near the sink and out of the way. It’s had to serve that purpose a lot less recently though so I’ve had some fun decorating it.

It holds our craft supplies and extra table setting pieces for when we have guests, so the drawers are ultra practical.

On top I have a mixture of new and old design books. I shared a bit about the vintage design books a while back because I found it so inspiring just how relevant they still are today.

There’s also a pair of lamps that I jazzed up to give them a sort of bone inlay look. The shades were picked up together at the thrift stire- how lucky to have a pair right?

The little Dutch inspired windmill planter is a fun dose of whimsy and the ginger jar has a peacock on it so it was love at first sight.

In the center is a woven raised tray that corrals my paintbrushes, a pothos and the vase and pothos clipping from awhile back.

Beneath it all is a table runner from Target.

The time to think about holiday decorating is going to creep up on us really fast here soon. So to keep the stress of “what to do?!” at bay, my friends and I have come together to share our best Holiday decorating inspiration with you. A la “Christmas in July” style.

If you’re new around here, you may not yet know that I consider myself a bohemian. And my interiors and even holiday decorating reflect that. I bring in some vintage pieces, some whimsical pieces and some pieces from around the world. I went into some detail last Holiday season but today I want to show more options.

How To Decorate For A Bohemian Christmas

Nix the traditional tree skirt

Use a tapestry

Use a textile remnant

Mudcloth

Lanterns filled with Twinkle Lights

Stockings with Boho Flair

Decorate the Mantle with Fringe Garland

Use Natural or Natural Looking Greenery, Pinecones and gathered sticks. Embellish them with funky ornaments.

Pick up fancier suzani type cloth to deck the table with.

Essentially, all you have to do to have a fabulously boho Christmas is to take the basics of regular decorating and swap out some ultra fun boho pieces instead.

Boho not your thing? Booooo. Just kidding! I totally get it. Farmhouse? Not at all mine. Which is why I’m excited to have partnered with my friends to bring you loads of different Christmas decorating styles. Check them out below:
