Thrifting a Cohesive, Curated Home (Part One) // Tips for Thrifting a Designer Style Home

Hi, friends! I'm always in thrift stores looking for high end style home decor for a lot less than retail. I usually take you to thrift shops with me and we style and add some DIY touches, but in today’s video I want to share with you a behind the scenes look at how my home has drastically changed and give you my tips for how I went from a styleless, lackluster home just a few years ago to an increasingly stylish one *on a thrift budget!* Come on and join me and let’s talk about how to thrift a cohesive, curated home!

"Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear." Ephesians 4:29

Tasha I needed this in more ways than you know. I'm one of those eclectic people like I'd go thrifting and if I liked it I bought it. The mindset of I'll figure out somewhere to put it. Fast forward when I go thrifting now I donate by the car full and don't even go in the stores. It's ridiculous the amount of stuff I have. As I purge and try to figure out my style I love how cohesive yours look and find myself leaning towards more neutral colors. So thank you for these steps. I really appreciate it. Hope you're doing well. Looking forward to the next one.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I needed this today!!! I am in the midst of a cleaning/purging mess & I felt like I was going in circles ... literally {& in my head}!! I finally found a paint color that I like for my bedroom {this is where I am starting} ... that is after bringing home 4 different colors that were WRONG in so many ways, #5 was the winner!! So you helped me decide that there are so many things that I really can purge that will get me closer to the goal of getting my bedroom completely done ... & then on to the next area!!! Thank you, thank you ... THANK YOU so much!!!

Your journey really resonates with mine. I’ve noticed that new items in my budget often lack quality, so it’s inspiring to see the makeovers and ideas you and other designers share with us.

Thank you for this video. Your tips were exactly right. I love to thrift and I have certain rules for myself. I have to know exactly where I will put it, does it fit my style or can I DIY it to fit my style, and do I really need it. I never buy something because "it's such a good deal.". Those so-called good deals can sit in the closet a long time. I always look forward to your videos.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain and share the method of how you changed your home without breaking the bank

This was a helpful reminder to not get discouraged when things are not perfect from the start. Thank you!

Thank you Tasha…this video was so helpful AND encouraging. I recently retired and am throughly enjoying cleaning/purging and “rediscovering” my home. For many years my style was just as you say a hodgepodge of if I liked it I tried to make it fit. Love the advice of trading out the half full box for an empty one…reverse psychology at its best!

The ‘before’ pictures look like where we all start out.

[debbiedemarco]

Boy, you have great thrift stores and found great stuff!

[angelinelauer]

Love the cat inspector! I’m a bit of a hodgepodge, due to liking mid century modern AND older antiques. It definitely helps to use storage items to keep things you need handy, yet not sitting out.

[kristin]

So true and so real. Love it. Fantastic guide!

[Musiclover]

Great ideas for those that don't know where to start or simply feel like they can't start due to budget concerns,

[brenda]

I love this video Tasha That's my biggest problem is trying to figure out what my style is so I will take your tips and use them wisely I do go to the thrift store a lot but until I get a style I'm going to stop doing that till I know what I'm doing Thank you for sharing with your viewers. Have a beautiful day! 🥰

[janiewilliams]

What good advice!! Thank you for your transparency about past decorating decisions and what worked better.

I’m a mid-century modern “minimalish” type of person. I have a roommate that is an ”everything” works type of person. We’ve kinda settled on a mid-century design in furniture & cottage core in decor. I’m constantly weeding it out & my roommate just brings it back in. LOL I love your steps 1-3. In my own room, I’m beginning that process with everything, clothing, closet organization, bathroom organization, furniture. I’ve finished my bathroom as far as I can right now. Just having everything decluttered, organized, things thrown out or donated that I’ll never use made me feel so much better about the room & myself. I’ll be more intentional with my bedroom & follow those first 3 steps more closely. I think it will keep me from getting “lost” in the process. I found this video very helpful. Thank you.

[bettybreach]

Your video and advice were amazing and inspired me to begin to purge. I love your style and your rooms look so classy. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of inspiration.

Hi Beautiful Tasha...so you are self taught. We are an estate sale couple. I used to buy everything. I had way too much in our home. I do love a collected artsy home, but over the last couple of years we have removed too much furniture, decluttered, and even though I have lots of stuff I absolutely love I dont have it out all at one time. I think with the bedrooms I have learned less is more and sleep is better when the rooms are calm. I dont like bright colors anymore in a bedroom. You are an inspiration. I definitely have gone to houses where I don't feel the love of the home. I had bought a beautifup little table at Goodwill for 8.99. I put it in the hallway. Everytime I went by it, I thought Tasha would not like that table there. I moved it in front of the living room window, and love it again. Have a great rest of the week. ❤❤❤❤

You have been a tremendous help to me in my own process of transitioning slowly into figuring out what I love and taking my time to piece it together. I still have a way to go… it ‘s been a challenge but a fun process!
