Let's Go Thrifting: Thrifted and Styled Summer Displays


Thrifted and styled: A curated collection of thrifted summer decor and displays!


I always have an open mind while thrifting

I browse all aisles and keep an eye out for anything that I'm normally drawn to or that influences a new display idea. 

Sometimes I thrift for a particular theme, and sometimes I find items that inspire new ideas. 

This summer, I stumbled upon some great thrifted items that inspired a fun, vintage strawberry picnic theme and a vintage nautical display.

I don't tend to buy or decorate with red, and I certainly didn't go thrifting looking for vintage strawberry decor. 

As soon as I saw the most adorable strawberry glasses on the thrift store shelf, I knew I couldn't leave them behind.  I grabbed a set of tall and short strawberry glasses, then found a super cute vintage strawberry pitcher.

After finding the vintage strawberry glasses and pitcher, I knew I had to curate a fun summer strawberry display. 

I kept my eye open for coordinating items and stumbled upon a red and white plaid tablecloth, perfect for a summer picnic!

Now that I had it set in my mind that I was going to curate a vintage strawberry picnic display, I hit up as many thrift stores as I could, looking for strawberry decor. 

These vintage Sears strawberry canisters were a total score that I was super excited about.

I also found a couple of strawberry teapots, plates, salt and pepper shakers, embroidered napkins, and an adorable vintage strawberry mug that I keep for myself.

I added in a few vintage badminton rackets and picnic baskets, creating the most adorable vintage strawberry picnic display!

While searching for vintage strawberry decor, I also discovered some really cool pieces to create a vintage nautical display. 

It started with finding a huge collection of vintage Indiana Rivera Blue Whitehall glasses and two large metal crane statues.

Vintage blue books, vintage brass nautical decor, crab imperial baking dishes, driftwood, and a few nautical accessories helped bring the display together.

I love hunting for specific wish list items while thrifting.  Who doesn't love the thrill of the hunt? 

I also love when I'm out thrifting and find decor that sparks an idea that wasn't on my radar.  

You truly never know great treasures you'll find while thrifting!
