Thrift Score Thursday: Bamboo Chest

Happy Thrift Score Thursday!thrift score thursday12Pin

If you are new here, let me explain just what #thriftscorethursday is.  We want you to participate! Hit up your local thrift stores, craigslist, yard sales, estate sales, side of the road, anything! Thrifty doesn’t necessarily mean from a thrift store. We want to see your good deals, wacky finds and treasures.

Don’t feel like you need to save those finds for Thursdays! Yes, features are shared on our blogs and Instagram on Thursdays, but we’re all checking in on (and using!) the hashtag all week long. So, when you see/find it, feel free to share it!  And we love it when you tag your friends to play along, too!

Each week Brynne from The Gathered Home, Cassie from Primitive and Proper, Corinna from For A Designer at Home,  Maggie from Maggie Overby Studios, and  once monthly a guest co-host will pick a favorite thrift score or two to feature! So please note that by linking up with#thriftscorethursday, you are giving us permission to share your finds via social media or on our blogs.

This week I wanted to share one of my favorite recent finds for Sweet Clover, since tonight is our big Sip & Shop, and this weekend is our July tag sale.  I also have so many furniture makeovers to share that I’ve done over the last two months, but this piece is one that needed nothing at all…. perfect as is!  I was fortunate to find an entire set of bamboo pieces- a long dresser, a tall chest, a nightstand, and a little trunk.  I actually brought in the chest, nightstand, and trunk for our June sale. The nightstand sold, but the other pieces are ready for our July sale.  Oh,  and the long low dresser just might be in my dining room at the moment.  Today I want to share with you the chest; in June we staged it with a cool vintage village painting I found.bamboo chestPinAnd this month, we changed it up a bit and gave it a more earthy boho vibe that truly fits the piece.Boho Vintage Bamboo Chest at Sweet CloverPinIt’s really a beautiful piece on its own and I hope it goes to a very stylish home. 🙂

Now let’s check out my features this week.

Cate from Style Mutt Home scored this awesome leather and brass chair while on staycation.  I’d like to go on one of those staycations!tst cate_stylemutthomePinYou can find Cate on instagram here.

Leigh found this great little vintage bench for $5 and all of the terra cotta pots were free to her.  I love how it all looks together.tst eclectic.leighPinYou can find Leigh on instagram here.

Ericka went to a Moroccan pop up shop and now I am wishing we had some of those on the East coast! Because look at the goodies she scored- that rug!tst erickabentsonPin

Sherri showed off this vignette where almost everything you see is thrifted.  I love the credenza so much!tst graceindesignPinYou can find Sherri on instagram here.

Julie found an awesome brass round piece that was perfect for her air plant!  I love this entire black, white, and gold plus plants set up.tst jnathomePinYou can find Julie on instagram here.

Liz might be the goddess of thrifting… She’s got an insane amount of luck and finds the coolest things, like these fun animal mugs.tst liz kamarulPinYou can find Liz on instagram here.

And finally Megan, who is one of my most recent people to follow on instagram, shared this fantastic painting with a fun little story.  I love how it looks in her space.tst undecorated_homePinYou can find Megan on instagram here.

Be sure to visit my cohosts to see their finds and features as well!

    That painting makes me smile – it’s one of the most famous views in Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany. 🙂 I grew up in the area, and we used to go there for the christmas market. I’m thrilled to see a part of my country find a loving home in yours!

    (If you look at the Wikipedia entry on Rothenburg, you see a photo of the same view: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothenburg_ob_der_Tauber)

    I LOVE that chest (bamboo forever) and I know exactly where the place in the painting is, Rothenburg ob der Tauber… If you ever visit Germany it is a beautiful little town and that shot of it is pretty iconic. If you need a tour guide let me know…

    That chest is so much fun! I love bamboo-anything! And you styled it to perfection! I know I definitely missed some of those features this week – I especially adore that credenza from Sherri!
