THIS Thrift Whore...

June 19, 2014 in Alchemy Eclectic, Buy it biotch!, Cheap Style Tips & Savings, Decorating with PJ, Entertaining, Funny Shiot!, Great Style Source, Hijinks and Hilarities, Thrift Whore Thursday

Oh him? Y'all know that expression-- euphoric yet slightly stunned, all...'I just stopped in to my local thrift store to see if there was anything new/good/deals and was STYLE-SLAPPED full on about my ENTIRE FACE with treasure...and you just caught me on camera!'

I MEAN- that line of Thrift Whores behind him? Totally ravaging at that cash register to take home their treats! Speaking of treats, kiddies...let's see what all the fuss is about, shall we? (Oh and YES, clearly the wardrobe being modeled by these Thrift Whores should tell you these pics were taken when it was substantially colder outside, which being NYC and the weird weather we've been having, was just last week...)

Someone needs to scoop this Betch up and work her OVER with a new upholstery job. Her lines are DIVINE already-- so imagine the drama that would unfold when she's wrapped in a luxe navy blue velvet? Or even a bold geometric?

Let's talk chairs, y'all:

Adorbs silhouette and she's screaming to be painted a fun yet chic color, like teal. TEAL me! (That was her screaming, btw).

Believe it or not, I'd prob just clean these ladies up really well and leave AS IS. I KNOW! There's something so early 90's decor meets Kelly Wearstler fab about them, esp. if paired with a marble dining table?

Ok, STOP. This chair just needs to be in YOUR LIFE. Now. I'd paint this gal black and slap her with a sheepskin draped all seductive-like. You know how we do. And then watch your houseguests scramble over themselves to luxuriate all over her.

Um, it's officially gone all 'Walking Dead' in this store, btw. These people are just CONSUMING. Crouching high and low for bargains, lifting lids like this is the last THRIFT STORE ON EARTH? Get IT!

Kickin' back testin' out recliners...

Oh-- suitcase chic...y'all know these make for amazing underbed storage that also looks great:

LIVING!

YES, that's a GIANT BRASS CANDLESTICK under all that 'patina'...and YES, she would just OWN YOUR TABLE!

Some potentially cute artWERKS, depending upon how and where it's hung:

I just found your new mid-century dish set, Betch. You're welcome.

Love me some cat figurine cute, though this poor thing has more than a touch of the heebie jeebie's...rabid-like:

Someone revitalize her with white paint and she'll become chic, sculptural & nary a trace of the creeps! THAT'S the kind of Thrift Whore'in we all need more of...savor it!
