Every time I go to the thrift store I pick up a stack of books, take them home, rip the covers off, and find them a special place. This group of books ended up by the fireplace, in the basket I found for $1.48. These book bundles are sold in stores like Pottery Barn and cost $39 for 4 books! Mine average about a dime each.
Here is another example of how I have been using my thrift store book finds for decorating. I found the horse book ends there too. I just love the contrasting colors and sizes of the books.
I spotted this wooden chess board for $0.79 and thought it would be a great addition to the shelves in the entertainment center.
Last, I found this empty spool for $0.99. I think it used to have some sort of cable wrapped around it. I plan to decorate it with chunky rope wrapped around the spool. Now, for where I am going to put it, I have no idea.
No, Presleigh was not a thrift store find, but I thought this picture was just too cute not to post :)
Great finds, Lauren! I've yet to try the book thing but I love the way it looks! Your spool is awesome! Can't wait to see how it turns out. Oh, and Presleigh is too cute!

Presleigh is adorable. You need to email me where you shop since we live in the same city :D
