Grand Millennium Style Decor- Thrift Store Haul & Display!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Coming shopping with me. Create love and drama with a gallery wall and mirrors. We go to 2 thrift stores and I buy some lovely things. I found some cute things that are vintage chic...and I also found an amazing numbered print of a windmill by famed Michigan photographer, Bruce Griffin.
I also answer one of your questions that many of you are concerned about at the end of the video.
This week I learned a lot of things...I felt a lot of things and I realized that perhaps I am stronger than I think. My Mom always used to say to me when I was most upset:
" All my springs of joy are in you" and I remembered that what truly gives me strength are those people around me who show me love and friendship every day. Like you do. And I wish that for everybody to feel loved and appreciated, especially by ourselves.
I love you to the moon and back...always and always....

Bruce Giffin Photography - www.photo.net/593662#//Sort-N...
After 25 years and even after having a few good things happen to me, I'm still not good enough. Photography is an evil mistress. You fail about 99% of the time. How many pictures does it take before you have one good enough to hang on the wall? Yet once her hooks are in you you have no choice but to continue chasing, wandering, looking for that one image that will get your juices flowing for another 20 years...I'm hooked! ~ Bruce Giffin

    When life changed dramatically and I had to start over again. I started scouring goodwill, good stuff left behind by someone moving out of the apartment complex, dollar tree, or things people would give me they didn't want. I learned how to reuse them, repaint furniture, anything I could teach myself to do, I did it. I wanted to show my kids you can make almost anything into something beautiful if you just try. They saw me make mistakes and saw me sometimes get frustrated. I hope they will remember those times. And how with a little hard work and dedication you can make a beautiful home for very little money. Years later life is better and I would still rather pick up something second hand and make it over then buy new, it's my therapy.

Maybe even a metaphor for my own life.... look for the good in everything. The same wind that knocks us down...if we lean into it...can drive our fears away...I am sure I overthink things...but to me thrifting is magical. Thank you so much being here!!! xxoo Susan

    My Grandma and her sister loved to crochet delicate doilies. They were used in every room, under vases, ornaments, all kinds of nik naks, even under the sugar bowl. Even on armrests and headrests on the sofas, heck even under the spare toilet roll that had a crocheted doll covering! I had them stored away and thought what a shame they're not used anymore. Until one day I had a lightbulb moment! I painstakingly arranged and sewed all the doilies together to make the most gorgeous bed spread and chair cover. Now I get to sleep under all that love. Grandma would've loved it ❤

    I love to decorate with pictures and objects that hold meaning to me. I have little statues that belonged to my mother. A small glass picture that meant the world to my dad, pictures of both of them. My husband has many treasures that belong to his parents that we have and decorate with.I also love anything that was a gift from one of my family members or friends , especially our kids and grandkids, and those are always on display. Like you, My husband and I love to decorate from thrift shops . We also love yard sales and antique stores as well. We just bought a new piece of furniture for our family room that is a gorgeous vintage piece from the 60s that was made in a much older style ! We absolutely are enthralled with it ! We both love when we find something unique and one-of-a-kind. We especially love to buy unique art. Preferably original art . It makes me and my husband very sad when we are at an estate sale and art that was drawn by the person who passed away is up for sale and nobody in the family wants it. We have bought several pieces of art that were pencil drawings , because we just couldn’t stand the thought of them not coming home and being treasured by someone ! Thanks for sharing your very personal story about Bill. How loving it is for you to let him believe you’re still married so that he can be happy. I’m glad you finally got to see him! I can only imagine how painful it was to not be able to see someone you dearly love for that long. I can’t even imagine it . As always, I enjoyed seeing your treasures, and seeing where you placed them in your home!😁❤️

    Well, this was another lovely video, Susan and Desi, thank you for it. I love all the items you got. I have a gallery wall where I display all the photographs and portraits of my grandparents and great-grandparents. These are all photographs from the middle to late 1800s, except a couple of my mother when she was very young. We had a water leak in that wall recently and miraculously, none of these portraits were damaged. My daughter loves polkadots because she is a spiralians expert, a scientist. She has always loved round images. My style is grand millennial with a few mid-century items I got from my parents' first house (for relief). Hugs. 👩🏻💖

    I have been watching your videos now for 2 months. My life has been torn by my husband wanting a divorce, he doesn't want to be around me anymore. When I first moved away and in my vacation home I found your video for the first time. You gave me encouragement, that I could get through this time, I was married 48 years, my first love at 17 years old. I have to tell you Susan, you are an inspiration to me, a big sister so to speak, my sister is your age. Can I say, I love you, because it's like I am with you when I watch your videos. Fate I know brought you to me, I feel blessed in knowing you are in my world. Thank you for all you do and all you share with all of us...I love you, and give Desi a big kiss from me.❤

    Mr Purple Rain. Lol. I adore Desi! You made me cry when you talked about seeing Bill. I imagine that when he sees your face, he sees the face of an angel. And he’s right. Thrift stores are one of my favorite places in the world. My mom loves them too, so I take her with me a lot. I took a friend once. She didn’t grow up poor like me, so she had never stepped foot in one. I saw from her face right away that she hated it. When we left, she said, how can you stand the smell? It smells old. I told her I love that smell!!! You either get it or you don’t. Love to you Susie!💕💝 Ronnie Lynn

    I like how you shop in the thrift store. I love shopping them, too - I'm shocked sometimes as to what people will give away! I found some Chinese black lacquer panels with mother-of-pearl inserts of birds and fanciful plants - there were four of them in the set. So, of course...they came home. I like to decorate with classic art - like da Vinci and Rembrandt - got some nice frames for some prints, and it creates a really nice gallery wall. I like vintage items - I kind of wonder, "If these items could talk...!". My favorite picture of my mom was her favorite. She was sitting on a bench, with a flower in her hair, and was about 24 years old. She was beautiful - dark hair, green eyes, porcelain skin. She passed away about 15 years ago. I miss her so much - she was my "cheerleader", and always had good advice. She also "dressed" just to go out to the grocery store - classic style. I also like the way you compose your videos - with the music, camera work, etc.

    Dearest Susan, you asked about how we decorate our homes - well, I was blessed to live in England for about 15 years - and I am not exaggerating, I spent every weekend at antique fairs, ‘car boot sales’, markets - you name it! I collected all kinds of period furniture, lamps, linens, China and glass, silverware, mirrors, antique prints and pictures - I love it all! So my home is very much like yours! I describe it as ‘eclectic’. It doesn’t suit everyone - but it definitely suits me! 🙋‍♀️🥰💕💐🤗

    What is left of my family is spread across the eastern half of the United States. We don't see each other all that often. As a result, I decorate for nobody but myself. That said, I do have my parents wedding picture in my living room and favorite pictures of dear friends who are gone. I have no particular decorating style except that I definitely lean modern. I used to love a lot of tchotchkes out everywhere and I got tired of dusting them so they are now in a class cabinet where I can admire them but not have to dust them constantly.

I love looking at all the beautiful things in my home. Most are antiques, but not just any old thing. The item has to meet the "beautiful" criteria 🥰. And, it may not be beautiful to someone else, but it's beautiful to me. They are items that evoke feelings....hard to explain.
