Iโ€™ve been looking for new nightstands for like 3 Iโ€™ve been looking for new nightstands for like 3 months and was about to buy a pair for $700 when I found a matching set with lots of potential at the Goodwill! They were in good shape but a little orange for my liking. So I stripped them, only to find out that they were made of multiple different wood types and they took stain differently. So, I ended up using multiple stains ( Jacobean, American Walnut, Espresso) to get an even-ish look. I cleaned and rub-n-buffed the hardware and saved myself enough money to justify a splurgey purchase thatโ€™s arriving in a few weeks! #thriftedstyle #goodwillfinds
If you type in โ€œwood dresserโ€ or โ€œwhite sofa If you type in โ€œwood dresserโ€ or โ€œwhite sofaโ€every day, youโ€™ll keep getting the same results. Marketplace sellers describe things in wildly different ways, so trying lots of search terms can uncover pieces you would otherwise never see. A few ways I vary my searches: โ€ข Use synonyms. One personโ€™s dresser is another personโ€™s bureau, chest or bachelorโ€™s chest. A console table might be listed as a credenza, sideboard, sofa table or entry table. โ€ข Use Google Images. If you like a certain piece but donโ€™t know how to describe it (or have run out of adjectives) take a screenshot and run it through Google images to see what words come up. - Get specific. Terms like โ€œFederal-style dresserโ€ will return very different results than โ€œwood dresser.โ€ I try both specific and broad terms on a regular basis when Iโ€™m looking for something. โ€ข Search retailer and brand names. This can surface better pieces and help train the algorithm to understand your style. โ€ข Search beyond the item itself. Looking for nightstands? Try โ€œbedroom set.โ€ Sellers may be willing to separate the pieces, even if they listed everything together. The best Marketplace finds are often hiding under a search term you havenโ€™t tried yet. Save this for your next Marketplace crawl.
Hereโ€™s the full prompt I used to help me figure Hereโ€™s the full prompt I used to help me figure out how to create a plate wall for this space. I ended up making some changes to the final arrangement but this was super helpful in picturing how it would look and deciding which plates to use! I want to create a beautiful, balanced plate wall using plates I already own. Iโ€™ll upload photos of the wall or room, plus photos of the plates. Design a layout that works with the architecture of the space, rather than forcing a standard grid. Consider the shape of the wall, windows, doors, furniture, light fixtures, trim, ceiling height, and any existing art or decor. Use the platesโ€™ actual colors, sizes, shapes, and patterns when deciding placement. Create a layout that feels collected, fluid, and intentional โ€” not overly symmetrical or random. Tell me: Which plates to use and which to leave out Where each plate should go How much spacing to leave between plates Which plates should act as anchors How to balance color, scale, and pattern across the wall Any pieces that feel visually off or too busy The goal is a plate wall that looks layered, cohesive, and designer-level, using what I already have.

Okay I was NOT expecting to love these as much as Okay I was NOT expecting to love these as much as I do. ๐Ÿ˜ญ I wanted pinch pleat curtains for my breakfast nook and before I went the custom route I took a chance on this $43 Amazon find โ€” pinch pleat, comes with the hooks and rings, and โ€ฆ They look just as good as the much more expensive pair hanging in my bedroom.
