Hey there!  My newsletter is up and going!  If you haven’t signed up yet, be sure to fill out the form in the righthand bar of the blog (under Join The Mailing List).  Today’s video is part 2 of a video I put together for all my newsletter friends. So, if you’re here because of the newsletter – WELCOME! You are officially my new favorite group of folks. I’m planning to have lots of fun with this new newsletter.  I’ve got exclusive content, downloadables, printables and videos that can’t be found on the blog.  It’s kind of like a top-secret club, and you are gonna wanna join.

Both the night stand and lamp were thrifted.  I bought the nightstand for about 20 dollars and then painted it.  The brass lamp was just $5. 

One of my main missions behind Oleander + Palm is to share ways in which I achieve a modern, stylish home and lifestyle without spending a lot of money. I love attainable style and design and thrifting enables me to have one-of-a-kind furniture and accessories in my home. So, if you are not a seasoned secondhand shopper, here’s my tips for becoming a successful thrifter.

Now, if you aren’t yet convinced of thrifting, let me share some of my favorite finds to refresh your memory.

I bought the vintage leather butterfly chair at an auction for a couple hundred dollars.

I found this midcentury side table along with my credenza at a goodwill.  This piece cost only $12.99. And the camels were bought in a market in Yemen, I’m sure they were a good deal.  I did a lot of bartering there. 

I found this Modernica plant stand at the Pasadena Flea Market, I paid only $10 for it.

And last, but definitely not least, my favorite thrifted find of all time – I paid $69 for this gorgeous mid-century credenza. I found it at my local Goodwill. 

What’s the best thing you’ve ever found at a Thrift Store? Do you have any other tips and tricks to help thrifting virgins fall in love with the hunt?
