Oh Hi + Weekend Thrifting Scores

By Mandi 04/27/2015

*Bursts through door stumbling and breathing heavily.

I’m here! Sorry for the radio silence for the last little bit. Things hit fever pitch while I was wrapping a bunch of stuff and every time I sat down to write I just couldn’t find the words. You know other than “Hey guys!” (I can always find those words.)

So what’s up? I missed you man!

One of the big projects that I’ve been working on the last month is a season for The Design Network. Do you know how hard it is to get ready (as in dressed, showered, hair and makeup that frequently?! Oh my gosh. It was torturous.)  You can pop over and check out the promo reel for the show, it turned out so cute, I cant wait for you guys to see the projects!

I found this super basic campaign dresser at the thrift store for $35. I am painting it (and giving you guys a full tutorial on how to paint laminate!) for Sherwin-Williams National Painting week that is coming up.

All last week I was in Salt Lake for SNAP! It’s a conference for creative bloggers and so so much fun. My girl Brooke and I took 60 fabulous ladies on a thrifting tour through Salt Lake. We only had 2 hours so we cut right to the chase and hit up George’s Architectural Salvage and Euro Treasures Antiques. If you promise not to laugh you can click on this SUPER old post/video that I did about Euro Treasures in 2011.

Oh my gosh I can’t believe I just voluntarily resurfaced that post.

I walked away from George’s with this retro spun aluminum sconce, it might need a little cleaning…

At Euro Treasures (if you’ve never been you are SO missing out, you’ve got to go and experience the magic) I scored 2 vintage Kilim and a small Native American rug. I think that the darker red is going to go in my entryway and I am planning on turning the small one into a pillow.

Basically I scored big time.

All in all, I’m glad to be back to normal life for a bit! Missed you guys!
