It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, I love finding thrifted baskets and incorporating them into my home decor. I think it’s a home decor piece you have to own.

You can use vintage wicker baskets for so many things.

  • Fill vintage wicker baskets with colorful spring flowers, like tulips and daffodils, to create a bright, cheerful centerpiece.
  • Display your breadboards or rolling pins inside a vintage wicker basket on the counter.
  • Add a vintage wicker picnic basket to add height to any spring vignette. For interest, stack vintage books or dishes on the basket.

There are so many different ways to decorate a glass cloche for spring.

I use vintage cloches for every season, but spring has its own unique decor style. Here are some of the different things you can try adding:

I know we’re over with Valentine’s Day, but I thought it would be fun to share the cloches I styled for this romantic holiday.

Spring thrift store finds: vintage window with hanging basket of spring blossoms

When it comes to vintage windows, I have quite the collection.

We’ve kept all the original windows from our 1920 house when we replaced them ten years ago. But apparently, that wasn’t enough.

I have a serious obsession with vintage windows. I seem to buy any window that’s a great deal, whether I need it or not. Most of the time, I hang baskets of flowers from them.

I even repurposed a vintage window into a cabinet.

Need a great way to add height to a vignette? Use a stack of vintage books. These thrift store treasures can instantly draw the eye up and create a visually interesting display.

Create a beautiful centerpiece for your coffee table by stacking vintage books of various sizes and colors.

Vintage books can also add texture to a room and be mixed and matched with other vintage items to create a unique vignette.

spring thrift store finds: green vintage spritzer bottles on cabinet

One of my favorite thrifted finds are old spritzer bottles, especially when you can find bright-colored pieces.

These bottles can add a touch of vintage charm to your spring home decor. Display them as decorative accents on a mantel, bookshelf, or above a cabinet.

Fill a bowl with decorative items such as dried flowers or moss balls to add color to your space.

I always find a good deal on enamel pots when I shop at my favorite thrift store. I use many of them outdoors in the garden, but they can also be used for various indoor spring home decor options.

  • Place colorful flowers in enamel pots to create a pretty spring centerpiece on your dining room table.
  • Place a single, large pot on your coffee table in your living room, surrounded by smaller pots filled with natural elements like twigs and moss.
  • Use a larger enamel pot in the center of your kitchen table filled with lemons or limes.

spring thrift store finds: hanging vintage scale with greenery

Vintage scales can be found in all shapes and sizes.

This hanging scale is one of my favorite finds ever! I wanted one to hang in my kitchen, where I could store fruits and veggies while looking fabulous. But I have no wall space in this room.

I decided to hang it in the laundry room, where I display faux flowers and greenery in the spring and summer.

Smaller scales, like the rusty version on the laundry room shelf, can be used to display birdhouses, pots, springtime nests, birds…anything that needs a little height is perfect.

These vintage scales are the most common thrift store finds and are usually priced to sell because there are so many out there.

When displaying your seasonal flowers, using galvanized buckets and pails is one of the best ways to show them off.

I love the rustic charm this spring thrift store find provides.

Most of these vintage finds have holes in the bottom for water drainage. They’re used a lot for outdoor flowers and plants.

I place mason jars filled with water inside the galvanized buckets to hold the flowers. The buckets above hold three jars each, keeping the fresh flowers hydrated and the stems upright inside the bucket.

spring thrift store finds: pots and vintage flower frogs

There’s something about vintage flower frogs that makes me smile.

They come in all different sizes and are great for holding flower stems upright in a vase.

I also use them in vignettes to add color and interest. To display their unique appearance, you can put them in a glass jar, bowl, or tray.

spring centerpiece with terra cotta pots with yellow pansies

It doesn’t take much money to collect terra cotta pots and saucers at local thrift stores, garage sales, and flea markets.

Nothing says springtime like spring-potted flowering plants and bulbs growing in a terra cotta pot.

There are many ways to age a new terra cotta pot these days, but I’d rather find thrifted pots for my garden. I use terra cotta pots for spring tablescapes and vignettes in just about every room in my home.

vintage quilts in glass cabinet and roses in patina vintage flare can

Vintage quilts are a great way to add a touch of cozy charm to your spring home decor. Because I have little storage in my home, I keep my quilts in a glass cabinet.

Here are some other ideas for using vintage quilts as home decor.

  • Hang a quilt as a wall hanging.
  • Layer one over a sofa or chair.
