Oh, I see I see dishes in here. Oh, look at this. We got some blue and white pottery
Some little cups those are cute it has England stamped on the bottom and there's
two of them
Oh, wait, there's another one right there. There's some cute little blue and white vases
set of three
Ooh, I like these little flat baskets. These are great to put
You know in the back of a cabinet or something like a bookshelf something like that
But you just need a little bit of texture. You can also hang these on the wall
They have a ton of wood bowls. I always pick up these aged wooden bowls
I love stacking them up and I wrapped them with a little jute twine a sprig from
The splendid citium bush and a little bit of lace. Look how amazing this white
And wood and this basket texture looks together and y'all
Everything you see in this picture is thrifted
So this just shows you that you can go out you can thrift different items and just put them together
in the most beautiful
collection
And on these plates, oh this is false graph
These are really pretty
I like those. What's the price on them?
$1.99 a plate that is not bad
if I needed plates for my house, I would
Definitely scoop these up. I don't but i'm still thinking about it because look if you had open shelving
How beautiful does that look? I just found the saucers
Here are the false graph saucers. These are 99 cents
Y'all talk to me into it. I'm gonna regret it if I don't get these
They're so beautiful those I can definitely use now
You know what? I do have a spot for these we are getting them
As you can see I have a really hard time passing up these beautiful white plates at the thrift store
My favorite are the ones that have a pattern on the ends. This swirl pattern is my
Absolute favorite I always pick those up and actually my neighbor gave me these they have a beautiful
rose pattern
And a little bit of scalloped edge that looks absolutely beautiful
When you stack them up, so this is how I style these plates in my home. I think of them as risers
To lift up my decor and as you can see when they have this pattern on the side
They stack beautifully and you can mix and match patterns for also a very unique beautiful
Simple look and I also use these plates in the background
Of my vignettes as well
And if you are lucky enough to score a whole collection of china or maybe have had one passed down to you
You don't have to use them guys. Y'all can just put them up as decor
Around your home. I am hoping one day I have a kitchen with some open shelving
But until then this is where I decided to style these plates in my home
I stacked them up and put them on top of this cabinet that is actually in my living room
Do y'all use kitchen items as a core in other?
Areas of your house because I absolutely do and I added these cute little kitchen towels
I love styling with these and if you love them as well, they are available on my website
So if you are out thrifting and you see some plates or some dishes or some china that you really love
Go ahead and get them. I am giving you permission right now
Because if you love them and you enjoy looking at them
You can just use them in your home decor and enjoy them every day to me home decor is
Surrounding yourself with things that you love that make you happy
It absolutely does not need to be practical or make sense
Some paper plate holder baskets
I have ideas for these
So many ideas for these you can use it as a riser to lift up your decor
I just put a bowl with some greenery in it
You could also grab a cloche out of your stash or at the thrift store
Put it on top of the little baskets and put something adorable
Inside this is a freezer basket
I have two of these under my church pew and this is how I have this one styled with a stack of these
But that area was way too messy for me to photograph. So I put it up here. You get the point
I also use them all the time
In the background of my cabinets. It just adds so much interest and texture
Also, of course you can put them on the wall and I also have a lot of that around my house
I just love the way these look can't have enough baskets. This is actually a tablecloth, but it is round
So it just hangs
Beautifully, so I think this would look amazing on a hook. It does have a few stains
I think it needs to be washed. I think I can get those out
I was able to get the stains out and it looks amazing in my fire and you see what i'm talking about how
Beautifully it hangs
So if you find a tablecloth in a pattern that you like definitely grab it because you can use it in other ways in your home
I found this really cool brass piece at the goodwill bins
I think it's a mail holder, but i'm not sure and I have this shelf
In my bedroom that needs to be decorated the top shelf is already decorated and it looks great
The shelf that is kind of next to it is decorated as well
So i'm just going to pull elements from these two places and make this shelf look cohesive
Of course, we're going to start with a white book
We absolutely need a basket and a glass element and then i'll put some bobbins in the vase
This little teapot I have on the other shelf and I just put some I don't know this little crocheted piece in there
This is a beautiful thrift flip I did many years ago. I still absolutely love it
Okay, now it's time for our little brass piece. I grabbed some of that vintage mail
I have a few sacks of this still available on the website actually and I put that in there
I like the color it gives it. I have two postcards from louisiana
I'm going to stick them in there and I have this fun little victorian picture
So we'll stick that in there as well
And then I just pulled this piece of greenery from the wreath that is on the top shelf
And i'm going to add that in and the final touch
Is a cute little brass wand because that just makes everything look amazing
When i'm decorating a space, I just find a few elements and repeat them like brass and baskets
Maybe a china pattern and you take those items and you just sprinkle them throughout the room and it really gives it a cohesive look
Even though everything in here is actually thrifted
Here's a white oval dish
It looks like an older pottery piece. I don't see any markings on it
again, this piece is very
Thick and heavy like this one here. So I think i'm gonna get it. It should clean up pretty well
I think this is just spots that will come off. So i'm going to add that one to the cart
This piece did clean up very well, and it is just the most gorgeous shade of white
I had this handmade soap that fit
Perfectly in here and then I had some black handmade soap and I just cut it to the size that I needed
I wanted a long rectangle and I
Never leave one of these shaving brushes behind. I don't find them
Very often so we're going to create a cute little vignette here. I have some twine
I'm going to wrap around the soap and the brush and the dish
That'll kind of keep everything together and looking perfect all the time
Then i'm going to add one little sprig of lavender because I feel like lavender
Soap bathroom it kind of all goes together beautifully the styled dish
I ended up putting on this little stool. That is my bathroom and this is where it's going to stay. I just think it looks so
Perfect right here
I loved everything about this planter that I found at the goodwill bins the size the shape the color I knew it would look
Perfect in my house and i'm trying to decorate the other side of this dresser in my room
So first we're going to start with a base layer of vintage books and the colors that go with my room
Then i'm going to add the planter on top of the books. It does have foam so I could put plants in it
But this cape cod half sphere is just perfect. It kind of looks like lambs ear except it has short
Shorter more pointier leaves. This is a bird that I did a thrift flip on y'all probably four years ago
But it's still cute and it still looks great in my decor. I think I used the iod traditional pots transfer for that one
of course
We need a brush and I have a cute vintage postcard in there and a basket is always a must as well
You can hang your baskets on the wall or you can also just use them as shelf sitters
It just depends on the space and how I use them and I
Try to pull elements from different areas in my room and colors. So that way everything kind of goes together
Oh, I see a woven purse with leather handles
This feels nice
J crew
I could tell when I felt it. It was a good quality. I love
When I find these and i'm gonna show y'all what I do with them in my home
I have a lot of hooks in my home because I just love
Decorating and all you have to do is throw this bag on a hook and I have all of these new
Beautiful hanging florals that are just perfect for spring. They're available on my website
juliesdesignsandsigns.com
So i'm just going to take this one
It is the serif vine hanging bush and i'm just going to stick it in here and it's done
It's ready to go. It is as simple as that
So I styled this one in my foyer, but I actually have similar pieces throughout my home
This is my bedroom. Yes. I still have my christmas decor up
I've been a little bit busy, but it's coming down soon. This is in my dining room
I actually got this bag from the goodwill bins as well, and I think it looks perfect here
And then last week's video I showed y'all wren's room where she has a cute little woven purse
And now you can see why I love having hooks all over my home
I just found this brass inkwell. It is absolutely gorgeous, but it's actually missing the ink part
No way I can leave this here though. So hopefully I can think of something else to do with this
I decided to roll up some old book pages and stick it in the hole where the ink would go
And I think the combination of the paper and the brass is absolutely beautiful
But my favorite part is when I was styling I decided to take this clothes pin and this vintage
Victorian easter card that my friend gave me and clip it to the plate
And I am obsessed with this look i'm definitely going to use this more in my styling
I had one of these before I love this. It is a brass vase and it even has a brass little rope around it
$4.99
I think it's worth it
I was so excited to bring home this brass vase
So I wanted to show you it styled in a few different ways and I paired it with the lamp lighter florals
That are available on my website. They look beautiful in this vase and this vase also looks
Amazing in my bedroom. I love a little bit of touch of brass
Everywhere in the home even in my kids room. I think it is really pretty
This is my daughter's room and I think this brass vase is also a perfect fit right here
Look at all the beautiful books
Look at these falling apart ones so far. This is my
Stack of books
I don't think it's a big secret that I love thrifting old books the older the crustier the better
So I figured I would just take you around my house and just show you
Some of my books and how I have them styled not all of them because we would be here all day
I mainly like to use them as risers to lift up my decor and give me
Different heights and y'all when I find these books with these textured pages
That is my favorite I scoop those right up
you could also use books like a tray just to put on your coffee table and have a place for
Your home decor to be and change up your little vignettes on top of them
You could also add iod molds or stamps to your book and you can also use books for a pop of color
This is my five-year-old daughter's room and I used brighter books that go perfectly with her decor
So y'all leave a comment below. Let me know how you use books in your home
little wood vase
99 cents
I'm, definitely gonna get that
Here's a little vase
Oh, I think it's hand turned
99 cents
Love that
I love these wood vases. I never pass them up and it does not matter the color of the wood
Because as you can see I have them styled all together in a vignette
And I really think that it looks great
Oh, I see some stuff in the wood section today
99 cents for this piece
Definitely picking that up
I have been collecting these wood grinders for quite a while now. Honestly, I probably have way too many of them
And should sell a few but I just like gathering them in groupings
Different shapes and sizes
So if I only find one of them, it doesn't matter because I like to mix and match them
So be on the lookout for these and just create little collections with them
This is so cute
Super heavy. I bet this is chalk wear
But it is all broken up. I don't know
I kind of like it. Anyway, like there's a little screw
Sticking up right there
Maybe I could add a little bit of black
I think this would be so pretty on a stack of books even broken
I think i'm gonna get it what y'all think
I am absolutely obsessed with this little guy and I was right. He does look amazing on a stack of books
I am so glad I rescued him from the goodwill bins
This is a metal meat grinder
And you have seen me style these before you can add them to a shelf or the side of a cabinet
And add some greenery to it
But a viewer told me about another idea and I just have to share it with y'all
So grab a book grab your meat grinder twist it
So the book is held tightly then turn it over and it sits on a stack of books
How cute is this now, it's a little shelf that you can style. Oh my gosh, I am
Obsessed. What do y'all think about this idea?
How cute is this piece? I love the shape. It has a little shelf
At the bottom it is $2.99. This piece will be so fun to style up
This piece will look great hanging on a wall
Maybe even the side of a cabinet or sitting on a shelf. I styled it up with some vintage finds
I had around my house like spools and doilies and of course a few little utensils
And some greenery from my website
I know this one's for a casserole, but I think I make a really pretty tray as well
I love the colors and the weaving on it. This one i'm gonna keep because it has a big chip right here
But it's made in portugal. Look how beautiful this is
I can see it with an ivy plant or maybe even a half sphere
I like using baskets in my decor for the same reason. I like using books
It just gives your pieces a place to land and just creates its own little vignette
This is a metal candle holder, but instead of putting a candle i'm gonna put this glass jar with these beautiful florals from my website
This is a piece that I created several years ago in a youtube video. I still love it
I should probably make some more of those because I have no shortage of spindles and y'all know I absolutely
Love using piano rolls in my decor. Just look at the age of this piece
It's missing the end cap
But that doesn't even matter and I still have quite a few of these available on my website as well
If y'all are interested
so if you have a difficult time decorating just try
Grabbing a basket or a stack of books and concentrate on just making that look good y'all
Look at those chunky legs. Don't y'all miss her being a little baby
She was so precious also since I really liked the color and the texture of this basket
I think it would be a good one to hang on the wall
