Favorite Neutral Pots and Planters From Walmart

Update your home for spring with neutral pots and planters from Walmart!  It's that time of year when I'm incapable of walking out of Home Depot or Walmart without buying a new pot or planter.  I can't help it.  I naturally gravitate to the plant section and have little self-control when it comes to plants. It doesn't help that Walmart has a great selection of affordable plants and neutral pots.   You can always have more houseplants or pretty planters, right? What Walmart planters do I personally own?  Savana Ceramic Planter /  Celeste Plant Stand  /  Everly Resin Rattan Basket  /  Black Round Metal PlanterWith Stand Two years ago, I bought an Everly resin basket planter from Walmart.  It's an indoor/outdoor basket perfect for my Tree Leaf Philodenren.    I keep it outside during the spring and summer and then move it inside during the fall and winter.  I love that it matches and adds beautiful texture to both areas of my home.

Let's Go Thrifting: Auction and Thrift Store Finds Vol 9

A curated vintage furniture and decor collection from auctions, Facebook Marketplace, and thrift stores! It's time for another edition of Let's Go Thrifting !  In my area, thrifting during the winter is a little slower than in warmer seasons.   It's much slimmer pickings and more times than not I walk out empty-handed.   I say this, to remind you to stay encouraged while thrifting.  Each day is different and you never know what treasures you'll find!  It's better to walk out of a store empty-handed than miss out on possible deals.  I live in Maryland and often travel to Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia to thrift and pick up auction finds.  I always follow my Thrift Like A Pro Tips to help find the best items and deals. My current thrifting list consists of the following:  - Vintage jeans - Vintage flannels (wool, made in USA, Woolrich, Pendleton) - Wood furniture (solid wood, smoke-free, dovetail joints) - Old books  - Vintage and antique ite...
