A Thrifted Nook

I have an unusual little nook in my family room. It's a small spot in between the fireplace and the hall. One of my first furniture thrift store purchases for this home was this bookcase. I fell in love with it's shape and size the moment I saw it.
It was the perfect piece for this nook. I filled it and topped it with more thrifted items. Yes, everything you see here (with the exception of the large finial)
were thrift store bargains costing no more than a dollar or two.
Even the beautiful framed photograph of doorways
was a thrift treasure.
It just proves that
it doesn't have to cost a lot to decorate

even the most unusual spaces in your home!

  3. I have a spot just like this at the side of our fireplace. I have a neat little table there as well. But I put in the corner rather than flush with the wall. I'm going to try your idea and see if it works at my home. Thanks for sharing.

    You need to write a book on how to decorate on the thrift!
