What to thrift

Thrift

Vintage Colored Glassware

Sadly, you should probably get some lead test swabs as well to check to make sure they don't have lead in them.

Thrift

Plants

When I say thrift here, I really mean FB Marketplace. You get the plant & the pot, normally at a more than fair price.

Thrift

Vintage Lamps

Check the thrift and the antique store for vintage tiffany lamps. I feel like they do show up from time to time!

Thrift

Vintage Crystal Bud Vases

So easy to find!!

05 / Make it

What to DIY

DIY

Thrifted Frames + Public Domain Art Nouveau Posters

Notes

I'd say thrift the biggest, nicest, most ornate frame you can find and then get a real vintage public domain art nouveau poster printed and put it in there. If you are able to find a tall and skinny frame, I feel like there are a lot of great images with that aspect ratio.
