Dark & Moody THRIFTED Library/Office Makeover (Vintage Inspired)
Ойын-сауық
This week it finally did it! I broke down the wall to the hallway upstairs and started our first room makeover. Its going to be the master bedroom eventually.......but for now its the library/office.
I have thrifted the book cases the wooden desk, office chair, rug and curtains and several other items for the room.
I can't wait to get into the storage unit and get my hands on all my treasures and unpack my books, now that I will have a serene and clam place to work and read for the fall and winter.
I hope you enjoy the little thrifting trip and quick sneak peak at the paint choices I made, and all inspired my a little thrifted picture.

Everyone is making the same comment which is that prices are crazy high at thrift stores suddenly. It’s free stuff that has been donated! Not sure what they’re thinking!

They did the same thing back in the day when everyone was getting their "fashion" from places like Goodwill and Salvation Army.

So lucky to find two separate pieces of material for the curtains! It will be so nice to have the house as a single-family dwelling again, and not cut up.
Thank you Lynsey! I enjoyed your shopping and your vision for your library!
Ooh I can’t wait for next week ,I organized my home office it was a bit of a dumping ground ,it has some paintings stacked up which were leftovers from when we had our antique shop ,Also we had 2 bookshelves of vintage and antique books from the shop too ,I used some brown velvety curtains on the windows that I already had ,I got an old typewriter for Christmas ,I want an old phone but I found a vintage metal child’s phone for now ,I put a few pieces of my artwork on the walls ,I had a French style armchair and footstool, I stole a side table from the guest room ,I bought a French style office chair a while ago for $3 ,I recovered it from my material stash ,I made the room really Cosy ,Didn’t cost a penny ,My husband commented how lovely the room looked , I can’t wait for your next installment and your big reveal ,thanks Lynsey x

Well Sandra, we must have been separated at birth? lol sounds exactly like my type of room, in fact its what I hope to do. I think its such an amazing accomplishment and achievement when you can create something from nothing. And it often turns out better than planned. Well done I hope I can do half as well as you have. (Would love to see a pic!)♥️

Lindsey, love your vision for the library, the velvet green fabric is delicious. The green trim and wall colors are 🎉❤️🎉. The prices at Goodwills have been raised every week, we just LOL walking through the aisles. They usually raise their prices every January but not this year, every thrifting trip they go up. It is definitely not a supply chain problem, Folks are just reorganizing and cleaning out stuff. There are deals to be found, but you have to have the time to dig! Love you demo job 😂❤️👍
Nice collection of things.
It was fascinating to look at what you gravitated toward in the thrifting portion as opposed to your inspirations. While the inspo was very much dark academia, you seemed to gravitate more toward rustic coastal / country objects.

😜 I guess the thrifting was the deciding factor 👍
Room is coming together. Loved all your finds. Especially the velvet fabric.
Love the mustard gold and green! Can't wait to see it complete !
I agree some of the prices seemed high to me almost regular price for antique store in high district area. That transference dish was over the top! Love your videos and good sense😏
I think u r amazing. I would never think of all those decorating ideas. Let alone all the painting and crafts. Wow. Great job

Thanks so much 😊 and thanks for watching ♥️
I love that look. My house is currently for sale and I'm looking for a cozy older home to do exactly what you're doing in the video so when I saw this come up on my feed I immediately had to take a gander at how you were creating this darker, cozy look. Thank you and much success! 🎃🍂🍁
You managed to get some bargains, the light was a good find.xxx🐝🐝🐝
I’m excited to see the changes. I love a moody, green room.
❤️❤️❤️
I enjoyed your video. I find that lately the thrift stores are using google lens and pricing as the highest price they find. I have even seen them price dollar store items at higher prices than the original price. You can still find good deals but it’s harder.

So true! Honestly it’s a little silly, when you think everything they sell is 100% free to them some of the prices are ridiculous. 🙃 but the thrill when you find the bargain 😁
Good Shopper!!
Where's the second part? I Would love to see the before and after. Thank you! :)

I’ve found the prices in Goodwill and Value Village here in Calgary have gone through the roof! It’s ridiculous!!

Those prices are insane!!
I have been on a hunt for a globe stand that opens up like as a bar. Perfect for a dark academia style. Though I don’t drink, I still wanted to use it in my retreat / wardrobe room for my perfume bottles instead of alcohol drinks. Hopefully I’ll find in my local antique shop or at a thrift store

Good luck I have seen them on occasion but mostly in the UK and they are quite expensive 💶
I’m chuckling at you complaining about the prices in VV. 11 months on they are even more crazy.

At the back of the house, first room off the back door.
Things are cheaper in your country than the U.S.

I think it depends where you are, a lot of the ladies I follow are based in the U.S and they certainly do find some amazing bargains. 💕
