LAKEY INSPIRED - The Process - Jak na to + styl
Sometimes it's as simple as traveling a few miles to a more affluent neighbourhood, and thrifting there. People with a higher budget are more free to change their decor often, and will likely have spent more in the first place. A Sally Ann in that certain neighbourhood, for instance, might have very high quality designer garments for about the same price as you'd get something of lower quality new.
Anyone else’s goodwills getting expensive? I was shocked at the prices when I went a couple of weeks ago. Might get that plant for $4 at the gw bins but in the regular store next door it would be $15 minimum!
Goodwill has got really expensive. You have great deals and transform them into really great pieces😍
Yes. I no longer donate my items to Goodwill and I don’t shop there much anymore. I am fortunate enough to have several thrift stores that support veterans so I donate and shop at those stores.
The amount of times I say “they lost their minds!?!!” Out loud while shopping, after looking at prices
Yes, i went to one yesterday and it was way too expensive, whats wrong with them?. 😳😳🫣🫣
Our Goodwill in SC never has anything even remotely “good” - at any price. It’s all trashy.
I have been a subscriber for so long on this channel and honestly, no one does it better. I love your style, the way you edit your videos, the way you show us projects that feel like anyone could achieve. I love your aesthetic in your home...the way you happily show your children, your dog, just being a Mom at home demonstrating what we all can achieve on a budget. I am a paramedic, busy, like we all are, just a normal person....and I have been so inspired by you and your channel....thank you so much....especially love the thrift store challenges. You have helped me to have so many high end looking additions to my decor....all at thrift store prices.I am in Australia, and love the high end sites you feature, and can still achieve results from what I can find in thrift stores here...seems like thrift stores everywhere have the same stuff!! Thank you, you are so appreciated💜
LOVED the lamp dupes! No one does it better than you, Fia! Looking forward to many more beautiful dupes in 2024!
Yay! Thank you! I appreciate you so much!
I do so love the dark moodiness of your office. It’s just beautiful!
Me too - it is a stunning space.
Just a heads up on those wavy edge bowls from studio McGee: you can find tortilla bowl makers that are exactly the same (just a bit smaller) and spray paint them. I found four at my Goodwill for 25 cents each
Love your creativity with thrifting and upcycling rather than relentless encouragement to spend big dollars ... go you!
ALWAYS a highlight to watch you flip finds. You are amazing 👏
The hanging lamps were my favorites. Especially the white lamp to vintage brass. Your spray techniques are amazing! Blessings Jenny
Thank you so much!
Yes, lighting is the most annoying thing to pay too much for, especially since it's the most changeable of anything in terms of style.
Always fun to watch how you transform pieces into something so special!!
Thanks so much love!!!
Your style 🤯 loved everything ❣️❣️❣️
I love the fur sphere pillow. I also love that you shared the technique for making it in detail. A heart pillow in the same fur would be a nice understated but elegant Valentines addition. ❤
If I glued, painted, sanded stuff on my quartz/marble countertops or on my hardwood floors my husband would have a bird. That said, I love your projects!
Hi FIA
The pendant looks absolutely perfect in uour office ! Perfection as always girlfriend!
That pillow turned out adorable if you have enough fabric left for a blanket or a cover over an ottoman maybe?
Loved your idea to give ceramic bunnies a cement look.
You have amazing thrift stores in the US. Here in NZ we don’t have the high end stores and beautiful pieces to ultimately find their way to the second hand shop. I love watching your videos each week to at least see what is possible. I do find one or two great pieces but I have to be very selective. Thanks Fia.
I’m in the US and in my area I do not have any decent thrift store. I am always amazed at not only the quality of her finds but also the price. My local thrift store sells Dollar Tree items for much more than they originally cost.
Great video. You have some really good finds at you thrift store
Thank you so much!!!
That basket looks amazing as a lampshade, you have such an eye for seeing the potential an ordinary object can have
Your videos are my favorite! Love that you give such creative ideas!
Yay! Thank you so much!!
Fia, please do a video where you show us how you organize/store your stash of upcoming projects, craft and diy supplies, tools, paint, and florals. How do you decide what to donate, what to upcycle? Do you give old projects away?
Hey Jessica 🌹🌹🌹
How are you doing??
I love how you can visualize things. I know you get inspired by different decorators, but you make it your own. I love that
Uts always difficult to give a favourite because they're all pretty good!
I like the garland that you made into wreath. Thanks for sharing.
Would have liked to see the light that you made for your office illuminated. Neat idea!
I loved your making the basket into a hanging light. All were good ideas. The idea of taking an ordinary bunny & crafting it into a McGee treasure is brilliant!
I really liked the risers you created … simply diy that looked so good!
love them all, as always!!! you do a great job! thank you
I love to watch these challenges. So clever of you.
One thought for the faux fur: you could make a fur collar with a snap closure to wear on sweaters. You could make cuffs, too.
Hey Nicole 🌹🌹🌹
How are you doing??
Spring wreath!👍🏻👍🏻
All of your hacks were great this week.
I love your thrift store, you always find beautiful items. Blessings.
Fascinating as always--love what you did to the big pendant light.
Happy blessed new year to you and your family 🎉🎉🎉 beautiful flip on these beautiful decors thank you for sharing have a blessed new year 🎉🎉🎉💗🦋💙💛🌈💜💚
Thank you so much love you are always so sweet!!
@@FiaGarciaDIY love your skills and eye 👁️ for all those flips you do very inspiration and motivates me to do my own decor flips so thank you 💗
I loved it all 😃
Yay, I am glad your videos are back after the break. Happy New year!
I love the lamp dupes, and ideas on reusing other objects to dupe high end decor.
Thank you so much for sharing all the inspiration and your creativity! You are the best DIY person around, that’s for sure! ❤😊
Absolutely love to watch you are so inspiring! You make my entire week !🥰
So many great ideas !! Thank you !!❤ Happy New Year and many blessings!!
Loved everything. For the black vase, perhaps after using a marker to hide the chips, add a little enamel nail polish. Dollar store has inexpensive nail polish, which I've successfully used for outlet covers when I could not find white.
Happy new year to you and your family. Love these dupes!
You really scored a good deal on that wool rug! Thank you for sharing how to use a magnet to tell if metal is brass or not - good to know! Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate you!!!
I always look forward to your videos on Sunday; your mind sees and creates things I wouldn't think of. Wish that I lived where you do, my Goodwill is mostly clothes and doesn't have the bins you mention. I had to go back and check and yep, you misspelled Spring. Happy New Year to you and your sweet family.
Excellent ideas, work, and video🙋🏽♀👍👍 thanks for sharing!!
Wow loving the rattan basket light fixture super cute ! Also loving the black wall in your office looks so beautiful & elegant !
I loved the ceiling lamp . Such a good idea especially for someone living in a rental. ❤
Love watching your dupes. You're so talented & give me so much inspiration. Thank you for sharing. Loved the pendant light for your office.❤
Hey Soraya🌹🌹🌹
How are you doing??
I'm a newbie and sooooooo happy I found you doll 😃
I loved the brass fruit bowl near the end. You have such amazing decorator ability, plus imagination and creativity! Beautiful.
Great finds ❤
Love all your flips! Wish I could find fun stuff at my resale shops! Everything is so expensive at Goodwill may as well get stuff for full price!
Your videos are the freaking best 🙌
All of them😎
The pendant light is fantastic!
Thank you so much!!
How nice to see your beautiful family at the beginning! Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing all of your GORGEOUS finds/transformations!!! Loved all of them!!!!!
Hey Naryann 🌹🌹🌹
How are you doing??
Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family! The pendant light for your office was my favorite.
Thank you so much 🥰
Loved the recharge light u did. 🤩
Hey Janeen 🌹🌹🌹
How are you doing??
You have the best thrift stores in your area! 😊 love all of your diys
I loved each item you showed. Unfortunately my Goodwill stores are no longer carrying decorative pillows or blankets.
I would have loved to see the lamp with the light on. I’m curious to see one in an actual house setting.
Love those lights fixtures. Thank you for teaching us how to know whether something metallic is brass or not. Great tips as always... Just loved the pictures of the family and Murhpy! Not sure how to spell his name...lol
Hey Alicia 🌹🌹🌹
How are you doing??
Happy new year🎉
I would rather shop thrift stores and find amazing finds any day! Nothing like it!
You did a really nice job on your DYI 👍🏽
Happy New Year beautiful family. A fabulous video as usual. My wife and I love to watch your creative masterpieces.
I'm a fan! Did you know that you misspelled SPRING DECOR in your last section? Know you will want to edit that! Keep the great ideas coming, you're the best!!
Love your ideas! I envy you such a great finds! I live in UK and we have charity shops in here but they are not even close to the thrift shops in USA in terms of quality and pricing. Here items are overly expensive (honestly more often than not it is better to buy new on sale!) and very poor quality. Some charity shops remind me proper "waste" shops, they gather more awful stuff than dump. To find something nice it's like finding a needle in the stack of hay. And we don't have bins like in USA 😢. Great video as always!👏
I’ve been waiting all day for today’s video!!! Beautiful DIY’s as always ❤
Yay!! Thank you so much for watching!!
Finally got to see what you did with the stuff from that day! Funny thing is I was just wanting to make a ball pillow and now I know!
Yay!!! Omg I’m mentioning you in my next video for the hearth and hand marigold candle!!
Happy New Year!!! Thanks for another great video ☺️.
Happy New Year to you!! Thank you so much!!!
Feliz Ano Novo 😊
I would like to see how you DIY the ceramic bunny to look like marble or any stone. Thanks
I’m always inspired by your content! Makes me want to go to the thrift stores. Lol😊
You could make a little muff (the kind you put your hands into) and hat for your daughter with the faux fur. I love the risers. You can find old fluted curtain rods, quite thick, in the thrift shops. I have some I'm going to cut for legs.
I have just recently found you and you are by far my favorite diy thrift go to girl. Have already been inspired. Love your work
Thank you so much!!
Thank you.
Fabulous as always Fia! I'm actually drooling over the checked round cutting board. Which video was that done in please?
You are amazing!
You are!
You can also hide chips in porcelain or glossy ceramics with a dab of nail polish rather than a marker pen.
Me too x
Good sharing my new friend. I am waiting for you.
Your ideas and execution of those ideas are so amazing! I’m just curious, do you have to worry about the flammability factor with the spray paint on the overhead brass lamp or maybe if the bulbs are LED it’s not a problem? I love the idea and just wondering about how to do something similar.
I love all your hacks. The only thing that I have is a problem which is actually mine, is I see all the stuff that y’all do at the Goodwill but I do not shop at the Goodwill. I give a lot to Goodwill but I don’t shop lol and I guess since the pandemic, I really don’t do a lot of shopping at any stores. But you do make me think about going to the bigger Goodwill that we have here in my hometown. I don’t necessarily think I’m gonna see some of the products that you do but never know I’ll keep you in thoughts! Welcome back to 2024.
Hey Darla🌹🌹🌹
How are you doing??
Amazing finds and transformation as always, how do you do it.
I don't know what city you're in but your Goodwill is awesome! I once found a brand new Magnolia 5x7 wool rug for $39 at a place called Dirt Cheap that sells over stock new items. Do you have one of those stores in your city?
Happy new year.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Jenna where did you get the vase that is holding greenery that is sitting on the rustic bench? You also set a bowl on some books( that looks like rope) on it too.
Hartville just put out a few totes full of ribbon on 1/4.
Truly enjoy your videos!!
Another great video!!!
Where is the thrift store that you feature located???
😊
❤❤
I would love to hear approximately how many hours you get out of that light bulb before you have to charge it. You for your fantastic, as usual, video!
Make a cat bed with that furry fabric.
You have a cat right? 😁😺
Lol only a dog! But he acts a lot like a cat! 🤣
What would wise to create faux marble? Do you have a video? I’d like to try the bunny.
Can you tell me where your curtains are from? I know it’s not dupe but you have great style.
By the way, I appreciate that you source your stuff.
When buying a pillow at goodwill how to clean the cover and pillow insert ?
Great question!!! I have a special sack that I stick all of my thrifted textiles in and wash them in my washing machine on the hand wash setting! It’s worked out well so far! I’ve only had one time where the fabric I bought really took a beating in the machine.
You have way better thrift stores than me 😅
What thrift store do you shop at??
I quit going to Goodwill. Got way too expensive.
