I scored at a Thrift Store the other day and found the perfect little table to complete a seating area for my living room that I have been working on. I thought it would be fun to take a picture and show all the thrift store goodies I found that helped complete this look. Now...
You know that I love that table! We should go shopping sometime soon so you can show me the best places.
Why is it that when you purchase items at a thrifty locale, it’s put together like an HGTV cover shot and when I do it looks like I should leave it out for the trash (and I guess, for your friend, Rhesa to pick-up before the sun rises:>)? Curse you creative types.
Cute! I love how you’re incorporating “fun” into the decorating scheme of this house. It really suits you.
I tried thrifting the other day in the city- I’m just too cheap to pay those prices. Really, the BEST bargains are getting up early on trash day. (Could I sound any more white trash?)
love it! Don’t know about Tulsa but there is a GREAT place in KC… I’m just saying…..
LOVE THIS!Will you please come decorate my house? Thanks.
Several people have asked when I would post pictures of my new house. Well, I haven’t yet for two main reasons really: 1. I haven’t had any rooms ready to show yet! It is going to take a LONG time, yes it is. I am trying to be patient, really I am. But those of...

I love your hearth room and the rest of your house! The bookshelves and the window seat are awesome. I’m glad that Alayna was able to convince those guys to go with your vision.
I love your whole house–especially the kitchen/hearth room….and now I am obsessed with the picture you got your inspriation from. What magazines did you use? I’m starying to put together a file for us.

It’s so much prettier in person, too! I’m with you on no formal dining room. I don’t see us every having one, either.

BEAUTIFUL!! I love it!! Every detail is just perfect.. I can’t wait to see the rest of the house (in do time of course!!)
Stunning! Carissa, you are talented in so many ways. I can’t tell you how much I would love to have your ‘eye’ for decorating! If these photos were in a magazine, I would absolutely rip them out and put them in my inspiration folder!
AMAZING! Love every detail of this room… and those chairs, I think I need them! GREAT job and good for you standing your ground, it looks like it belongs in Southern Living article 
My friend Bethany and I were discussing how much we loved the little black and white silhouettes that you see around now. She told me about a blog she knew about that had just done a cheaper, homemade version of the silhouettes. I had just found some vintage frames from a yard sale in Jenks for a...

these turned out so great! such a fun and easy craft, eh?
That’s awesome, Carissa! Thanks for the ideas
If you are looking for something cheap and fun for around the house, you gotta check these out. I bought them for $9 at Tuesday Morning. You can stick them anywhere around the house and write/draw on them with chalk. I put one in my workroom to write sessions down that I need to edit. I LOVE to mark things...

YAY! Crosby is at the top of the list! : )
Looks great. And the artwork isn’t bad, either!
OK as everyone probably knows at this point, I LOVE “junking.” What is “junking” you ask??? It is going to garage sales, thrift stores, Salvation Army’s, estate sales, etc….and finding what other people think is “junk” and turning into something beautiful. There are few things in life that thrill me more than taking something “ugly” and...

The pillows!! I love them! Where did you get them, please tell!!!
I love the poster too!
A – Got the painting in Dallas for $5 or something at a store ther that I can NOT remember the name of. We don’t have the stores here. However, I really think you can get these posters lots of places now…I would try Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, Gordmans. I bet one of those places have them! If not, I am sure you could get it online.

Where did you get that poster?? LOVE IT~
Auntie CC — I can’t wait for the sneak peak!!!
You’re a master photographer and transforming the treasures you find thrifting!!!
Thanks for an awesome setting! It was fun for this Nana.
While your thrift store finds are fantastic and all… I’d say the baby in the orange bow takes the cake… what a cutie patootie!
