Styled Vintage Nightstand

November 19, 2015 by CORINNA HENDERSON

Hey there, Guys!
Here on Thursdays we chat thrifty and this week I’ve got a fun little set up to share with you. You probably know that I prefer to save my #thriftscorethursday finds until I’ve had a change to utilize and style them. So I’ve been keeping the main event from this set up under wraps while I get things situated.
For the longest time, I’ve had the one cabinet beside my sofa and the other side has been pretty bare. It’s always felt visually heavy on the one side so it’s been on the “list of things I’m hunting for” to find another cabinet for the other side of the sofa. And, I found it!

And at a thrift store nonetheless. I normally have zero luck scoring furniture form thrift stores and obtain most pieces through Craigslist, but this one was in great condition and was listed for a great price at $15.
There are a lot of features that made this the perfect imperfect match for the other table. They’re both a similar wood tone, have the two door cabinet, are essentially the same height, and have details that compliment one another. The cane inserts on this one mimic the cane inserts of my credenza/media console.

PS, the dust is from the bathroom renovations! The whole house is coated 😉

Atop the table I have some of my favorite Home/Design books, a couple plants (that wood-look ceramic bowl is thrifted and the plant inside was a gift from a craigslist seller when we came to buy a piece of furniture), the gold tray I picked up from a different thrift store, and that mug is the latest mug I thrifted. Basically the coolest mug I’ve ever happened across and since I collect mugs, it had to come home. You’ll also spot one of the brass birds I scored ages ago.

I’ve been reading Emily Henderson’s book, “STYLED,” and have been so enjoying putting the tips and secrets she shares to use. I’m thrilled with the way the end table has turned out.
And because I’m sharing my own styled surface, I wanted to focus on sharing other styled shots from the #thriftscorethursday feed. It’s the best feed out there and full of great inspiration so make sure you’re checking it out and tagging your thrift scores.

myeclecticnestI may or may not have stalked this golden trunk until the price was so unbelievably good that I was left with no choice but to bring it home...... but maybe I didn't do that at all?#thriftscorethursday

    I know, I always envy the people who have great furniture at their thrift stores! The ones around me barely have a furniture section at all! $15 was a steal for that fun piece! And you are so my indoor plant inspiration – one of these days I will master the art of not killing things! 😀

Starting LDN and everything else I’ve tried for CFS so far…

I’ve been taking low dose naltrexone (ldn) for just over a month at this point and I wanted to share an update on how it’s been going thus far. I started taking ldn because I tried everything else in an attempt to feel better. At my last PCP appointment, I told him I’d be trying […]

Checkerboard: The Latest Insta-Trend

You ever first see a trend and think, “nope, not for me.” That was, and still a little, me with the checkerboard trend. I’ve never liked checkerboard walls or floors.

Simple Minty Eye Makeup Look (Indigenous Beauty Brands)

As much as I loathe dealing with fallout atop base makeup, I still always start with base makeup. But lucky for me, there’s no powder products going on my eyes today. Despite being a simpler makeup look, there’s still a lot of drama going on. A sharp cat eye winged liner elevates the eyes. And […]

Full Face Latinx Brands

From September 15 – October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month. During this time I wanted to put together a full face of Hispanic owned beauty brands.

Hispanic Heritage Month is upon us! It’s always my goal to be mindful of where I’m spending my money. During Heritage and Pride months, I try to make an effort to seek out brands that I may not otherwise be aware of. It’s no surprise, what’s out there is truly amazing. And I want to […]
