thrifted thursday

hey friends. :)
if you're hopping over from apartment therapy today...welcome. :)

thursdays are the day i share my thrifted finds for the week. 
also . . . fun news . . .  because everyone loves to see a good thrifted treasure . . . starting next week, we'll have a thrifted thursday link up right here. :)
i can't wait! 
so you have a week to get your posts all ready to go. 
your post can be about anything thrift related....thrift shopping, yard sale scores, craig's list finds, etc.
yay. :)
can't wait to see what you all come up with!!


so . . . i have a dining room full of vintage goodies that i can't wait to sort through and show you....but for today, i want to show you a couple of great new pieces that we got for our breakfast nook. 
the breakfast nook that we don't actually eat in at all. ;)

when we knew we were moving to this house, i started looking for a small desk.
i knew we were moving the big desk to avery's room.
i really don't need much of a desk because i just haul the laptop wherever i am.
i just needed a place to basically store officy type stuff. ;)

i found this sweet small secretary at a consignment sale a few weeks before we moved.
love it.
it's nice and small, pretty lines and i love the vintage glass knobs.
did not love the weird, fleshy color.





i spray painted that sucker with a few coats of glossy charcoal gray spray paint and now she is perfect.
a secretary should be called a she, right? ;)




she even has a pull out tray.
not sure what i'm going to put on those little, small shelves......







okay...so if you read my last instafriday post or follow my instagram, you know i am over the moon for our new {old} piano.
my parents just moved and gave us their piano.
i am beyond thrilled with it.
so this wasn't technically thrifted, but it was free so that counts. ;)




i. love. it.
it's gorgeous and perfectly vintage, just the way i like things. :)



we have wanted a piano in the house for a long time.
my boys have been practicing piano on a keyboard for years, so this is a huge blessing.
i love hearing them play and avery will play the doxology for me anytime i ask. :)

 i'll show you the rest of the "breakfast nook" soon...still trying to figure out the arrangement.


okay friends....what thrifted treasures have y'all found this week?
