Ever wondered what a house furnished and decorated nearly entirely with second-hand and thrift store finds would look like? Let me show you! I started thrifting in college out of financial necessity and over the years have continued to curate a home full of the character and charm of vintage items. I’ll take you around our home and share my favorite thrifted finds, the prices, and some of the stories behind them. I hope you’ll gain plenty of interior design and home decoration inspiration.

    There's nothing that makes my heart sing more than someone who's home is a reflection of their personality, their style and their own handiwork!!! So many people just buy 'generic' homeware because they can't be bothered to curate a home in the way Sherry has and it's so disheartening to see bland houses that aren't actually homey. Kudos to this lovely woman for using all her skills to create a truly one-off home that's cosy, welcoming and fascinating to walk around! I can't wait to see what she has planned for the other rooms. x

    When you say that almost everything in your home is thrifted, you are not kidding! One would never know it as your home is absolutely beautiful and full of charm.❤
  • @donnafoster2022
    Sherry, it’s not enough to find a thrift store bargain. One has to first have a sense of style. You have taken a hodgepodge of items, stirred it all up and made a warm, cozy and inviting home. What a delightful home tour!
  • @margarettallett762
    I love the fact your house is a real home. Reflecting you, your travels, your loves, your creativity and style. So cozy, so lovely. Not trendy. Timeless elegance ❤❤❤
  • @thebespokebird
    You have the most beautiful home I've ever seen! It honestly looks like a professionally decorated magazine home! There's just so many pretty, interesting and unique things all around you and also they all just go. Your home exudes this wonderful effortlessly curated collectibles vibe.

    I flipped when I saw your trunk end table. I have one exactly like it. It belonged to my paternal grandmother and she traveled to the US with it in 1905. I imagine her worldly belongings were in it. I treasure it.
  • Being creative and having an eye for art is a gift. I feel bad for people who don't have it.
  • @angelicag2042
    Your home is a haven from the hectic, bland, uniformity of our “modern” world. I love everything you have “adopted” or “rescued”. ❤️
  • @gizmo7877
    WOW! It’s like visiting a Museum where you are engrossed in all the beautiful and interesting objects from every era. You have the EYE for decorating for sure, but your gift is in creating decor from scratch with your imagination and hands. What a God given talent! Your home screams HEART ❤️! What you’ve accomplished behind those exterior walls is amazing. The only thing my eyes drew attention to was the two chairs in the family room. Wouldn’t those blue velvet chairs look fabulous there instead and the old chairs in the dining room? Or reupholster the existing one with blue, red and green fabric that pops? But my big query is…WHO CLEANS THIS HOUSE? Oh my!

    Sherry, I had to stop your video just to say there is nothing more beautiful in my opinion then home decor that comes from the heart of the homeowners! Your home is absolutely beautiful and there's not another one like it anywhere! I started watching thrifters about a year ago and couldn't believe what I already had and what I could be getting once I got a little knowledge! Great video
  • @ksteversbcglobal
    You're still my favorite inspiration! So much charm and personality in your home. It's what I want to achieve. Can't wait to see what you're bringing us next! 😊

    The. Pictures from your grandfather touched my heart. My grandfather gave me just before he passed away a pair of very old hair cutting scissors that he used to cut my grandmas hair with. I love them. My mother left me her collection of Zane Gray books that she taught herself to read with using a old dictionary to sound out the words. I’m so proud of her❣️God Bless

    Your home feels so cozy and warm. It has character and charm. Lovely, just lovely!
  • @JLee-pc2vc
    When you got to the "Delft" tiles, before you even said anything, I thought to myself, "That was a genius DIY!" I smiled when you said you thought it was one of your best. It soooo was! My best thrift find was a large pretty antique mirror for $4.99. My jaw dropped when you showed the Wedgwood and the 1600s book pages you thrifted! You are the thrifting queen!!!👑🙂
  • @RadBadJodster
    Thank you for opening your home to all of us on the inter webs!!Your talents know no bounds. ❤
  • @angela3063
    I think your plaid living room sort of has a Ralph Lauren feel..I love it. Your home is unique, eclectic and beautiful I love every room you showed us.
  • @Dawn_Reane
    You're home is beautiful. Thrift shopping to decorate a home takes patience, persistence and knowing your own style and you definitely know yours.
  • @LWilli65
    Beautiful home full of character and charm.
  • @marilynmiller988
    Sherry, I love your home because it tells a story. Thank you for sharing your story with me!
  • @IndieAnnieJones1
    I always love when you share your home with us - it is such a large, lovely home with every area so nicely curated! Thank you for your inspiration!!! my best thrifted find was actually a roadside find of a beautiful gold framed antique wood mirror and a mantelpiece!
