Do you love antiquing, thrifting, and all things vintage? If so, you’ve come to the right place! Today I’ll share some ideas on how you can spruce up your thrifted vintage finds for spring.

I’m joining my friends for another THRIFTING WITH THE GALS blog post. 

If you’re coming over from my friend Stacy at Bricks ‘n Blooms, welcome. Didn’t you love the thrifted finds she shared?

Sprucing Up Your Thrifted Vintage Finds for Spring

One of my very favorite things is to go shopping for antiques and vintage home and garden decor. And when I can find a great deal, that’s pretty much the cherry on top!

I thought I would share a different take on my blog post this month. Rather than showing you the thrifted finds from a flea market, antique mall, or vintage store, I thought I would share some of the vintage items I found around the house and garage, and how I spruced them up for spring.

Garden-Inspired Vintage Spring Home Décor

Do you know what I love even more than vintage décor? Garden-inspired vintage décor. Are you loving these beautiful bright green seltzer bottles as much as I do?


SHOP SELTZER BOTTLES


Flower and Plant Containers

Ironstone and enamel containers are some of my very favorite options to use for plants and flowers.

Adding a Touch of Spring with Vintage Windows

I have a thing for vintage windows. It could be because we replaced all of the windows from our 1920 home several years ago, and we kept all of them! I can’t tell you how happy I am that we were able to repurpose them.

Vintage windows create interest in our cottage garden, including this one on our potting bench.

Not only were the dishes a fabulous vintage find, but I was also able to use a few vintage containers I’ve found over the last few months, and they’re perfect for my spring hellebores.


SHOP VINTAGE PEWTER PITCHERS

How about finding a thrifted vintage bike for your spring garden. Add a basket or two full of flowers. We were so lucky when a neighbor gave us this bike.

Vintage headboards create interest in any garden. You can use them to separate your garden spaces or as a trellis for your flowers.


I hope this inspired you to spruce up your thrifted vintage finds for spring. Please feel free to leave a comment, I’d love to hear from you.
