Thrifting Thursday - New Set Up!

I'm so excited to be getting one step closer to having a place to do my photography inside. Winter has already arrived in Wisconsin, so I no longer have daylight to work with when I get home. I have a long way to go, but it's a start.

This is the space that I decided would be the best place to set up. It's rather dark and there are NO windows so I'm going to have to get creative with lighting.


This week's thrifting Thursday has quite a few components. I'm going to start off with a big picture of my new layout featuring wood that my grandpa cut many years ago. I still need to configure it so the boards cover my entire work space.



Here is a better shot of the setting. I added in some little things to complete the "getting ready" image I had in my head.


This is one of the many milk glass vases I've purchased. I didn't have any way to store my bracelets where I could see them all, so I thought this was the perfect solution!





 I think you may have seen this little beauty on my Instagram. I just love this little dish. It sits on my nightstand and holds my rings.


And I mean COME ON! Look at this stunning vase I bought!! It's by far my favorite and it looks awesome on my mirrored tray, too.



I couldn't believe when I saw this mirror sitting on the shelf. I don't know how long it had been there (well it was less than two days since that was the last time I was there lol) and I know for a FACT if I wouldn't have bought it that day, it would have been gone. Isn't it just BEAUTIFUL?!



So that's the end of another thrifting Thursday :) I hope you enjoyed my finds as much as I enjoyed photographing and sharing them with you. I'd love to know what you thought, so leave some love down in the comments!

Until next time.

Much love,
Liz

    1. Isn't it amazing Vicky? It's been sitting in a barn at my grandfather's house for probably over a decade just waiting for someone to use it :) I can't wait to bring more of it home. If you were closer I'd share some with you!!! I really can't wait to play around with my set up more. I have so many things I want to photograph!!! This might end up being it's own separate series lol.

    1. Thanks Arica! I'm trying to use for every possible project lol. My husband actually made a headboard for us out of it but that's in storage and will have to wait to be featured once we get our new house :) I'm loving sunflowers right now too especially with winter arriving so quickly....it's my only dose of sunshine down there!!!

    1. Thanks Karen! I need to learn some restraint when it comes to vases because I'm starting to get quite a few :)
