 Hello guys, welcome back to my channel. Today we are going antique shopping and thrifting, which I am super, super excited about. I pulled over quickly so I could film an intro, but what I was saying is that today we are going antique and vintage shopping and I am so freaking excited because we are not only going with myself, which is how it kinda normally happens here on the channel, I am actually going right now to pick up a special guest and that is Brittany from Badlands Vintage. Now, if you guys remember a while back, I actually ended up purchasing that vintage dining table for my dining room and it is beautiful. I actually bought it from Brittany's store, Badlands Vintage. I came across it on Instagram and ever since purchasing that table, we have been deeming back and forth so often and we actually ended up planning a day to go out and antique together and that is what we are doing today. So I'm bringing you guys along with me. I'm heading right now to pick up Brittany, so let's just go ahead and get her and then we can start the journey of antiquing. You guys, look who I have! Brittany! Hi! This is a professional thrifter. Yeah, basically. Yeah, Brittany Joseph from Badlands Vintage. Can you just tell them a little bit about your store or your style maybe, what you look for? Oh my God, I'm so nervous. A little of anything and everything. I just like a lot of natural elements, lots of texture, lots of woods, travertine, marble. Your style is so good though. She is such a good, if you guys have to check out her Instagram, if you haven't. I actually wanted to tell you some of the items that I was thinking about or wanting to look for because I also, of course, in terms of, we want to find furniture, but I also am kind of into some lighting and hardware, faucets, tile, stuff like that. Things that I can actually use in the renovation process and not all antique furniture as well. So anything, you know the decorative molding pieces and stuff and like that kind of stuff. Yeah, like architectural. Architectural, yes, exactly. And I figured maybe you would know where some of that could be. And you have a few places that you have something like that. Yay! Okay, so we will catch you guys at the first location. Look where we're at. That was Inception. Wait, what's this place called, Brittany? Pasadena Antique Center. Pasadena Antique Center. Look at all of the items. Oh my gosh, these like dividers over here. Oh my gosh, yes, like the alabaster light. How much is that one? 29.50. Actually, this was like kind of, I was thinking that mine would be around the same price if I was to sell it. But I'm definitely keeping it. At least now you have like a preference. Yeah, Brittany, I think you were looking for this light. Toto, there's no place like home. It's literally just a hanging. How much is she? Oh, she's $700. This is a tin man meal. Look at this stool, you guys. I saw a sign that said if the item is not tagged, it will not be sold. So you cannot buy that. This lamp is so pretty, you guys. Does it work? Oh, she needs a warm tone bulb though. Why are antiques expensive? They're just very old and you could, it's like clumped in art, right? It really is. Editing Drew is popping on. I do want to say that this is my first time actually antique shopping. I think I've only ever been to like two antique stores in my entire life. I mainly go thrift shopping. So seeing the prices of some of the antiques, I was like, oh my gosh, like I didn't expect items to be this expensive when I was antique shopping, but I completely understand why. And honestly, Brittany taught me so much about antiques, which I'm super grateful for. Oh, this is kind of the style of light that I actually want to do in the skylight area. Look how pretty. Look at the little tiny baby stool back there. Can we just talk about that? They're burl wood. Oh, burl wood obelisks. 345. What is it? Oh, I think it's just a stool. I don't know, but I love it. I like that. A little pedestal. This is a good one. That is so cool. It's bouncy. Candlesticks are amazing. Love them. I would love to like have some of these on there. Have this thing there. Oh no, I found a fox. Two more. Not alone. Not alone, Fox. Look at the shape of this mirror. Almost looks like a seashell. Oh, that's really pretty. It's only 475. That's not awful. Brittany, can you get your tape clean? Wait, how much is this? I found this vintage tape cleaner. I'm a good test. Look at these doors, you guys. They look like they're from like Morocco or something. Look at these frames. Look at this stained glass window. Look how cute this is, you guys. A little marble top with the single leg that you mount on the wall. It's like a little kind of shelf situation. Do I need this display? Are they real in there? They're real. Kangaroo rat display. That's so random. Oh wow, look at this. It's like maybe like a pot rack or something. A corner mounted pot rack. All right guys, we just came across these torches. These are really, really cool. It's a set of two. They are pricey. And it's 20% off. So they're actually about 3.75. That's what you're gonna ask. These are so beautiful. The hand-painted, and look at this one, you guys. It's super dark. Oh, oh, he is on a donkey. You could barely see it. Wow, look at this dresser. We just came across this really cute little checkerboard box, but it could double as like a trash can maybe for a bathroom. Pretty substantial. How pretty are the color tones in this vintage drug, you guys? Like the greens and the browns. Like this is so pretty. 19th century French vessel, $495. I think I'm gonna go ahead and get these squiggle candlesticks. I checked online to see if I could find anything cheaper. And I can't find anything that's floor length like this online. I think these would look so pretty somewhere in the space. Oh my gosh. This is a symphonium. A symphonium. It's on sale for $19,500. All right, so Brittany, what did you get? Some pizza boards, some antique pizza boards. I'm gonna hang them in the kitchen. Can you stop them? They're so beautiful. I love them. We actually got like all of this very rustic wood. And then I got this little bin. It's very unbranded. Very Badlands vibes. And then I got these torches, which I think are my favorite item. And I got these candlestick holders too. So three things, very excited about these. We just left the first antique shop and now we're at Goodwill. It was just right next door so we figured we'd pop on it. Get this coffee table. It's actually really cute. $39.99. Bargain. See, it was meant to be. So expensive. Those are so cute. These are perfect. These chairs back here are so cute. And you guys look at these ones over here. They're like with tan, like woven chairs, but they're made in like a wingback style chair. I've never seen anything like that. We're manifesting, manifesting, manifesting, manifesting. We're currently at the architectural salvage, which is a shop in Pasadena. We drove by the backside and what did we see? I don't even know. Doors, windows, windows. Every single door that there ever was. But I'm gonna head in here. I'm really looking for some antique tile. I wanna find hardware, ideas for doorknob store handles. Like even if I can just get some photos of things, like just to get the style so I can look for them online. Cause some of the in-person places are expensive, but you know, who knows, we can find something maybe. Fingers crossed. Is this even real, you guys? Oh my gosh. This is all authentic, like Spanish revival. Oh my gosh, look at all of this. Like the little key holes. Handles, hinges. This is crazy. Look at all of these. You guys, we found the stained glass. Look. This is all like authentic stained glass. Trish's trying to get like ideas on pricing for this kind of stuff, you guys. Love this. Look at these, you guys. Authentic glass doors. My kitchen actually has one of these in it. Really? Yeah, like exactly like this. Employees only, oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my goodness. It just keeps going. We took a little break to get some coffee. Thank you so much. Oh, thank you so much. Just got to revival antiques and look how many. I need to move into one of these antique shops because the ceilings and all of them, like this is my dream home to have a ceiling like this. These chairs over here, these are so pretty. I love this shade. You guys, look at these stained glass windows. They're like almost doors. That's exactly what I want though, like something with a little more color. I mean, these might be a little too saturated. No, I love them. But I do like them a lot. Is that what it looks like? Okay, so this is- Un-sunned. Un-sunned. Un-sunned. I feel like they'll always pretty much be suned though. Oh my gosh. I just think that is so pretty. Something about a stained glass window. Oh my gosh, and all this fireplace stuff. Oh, yeah. Because I- Yeah, the screens. I do need one of those. Look at how pretty these ones are. There are three of them. And they have this like little center motif on them with the green and then the shiny gold. All right guys, this is our little haul of items and please do not look in my car. It looks scary at the moment. But we found this jug here and this jug here for $20 a piece. We found these torches, which were a little bit more expensive, but they are ancient. So, you know, that is okay. And I did find this little bin here, which I love. This was $100 after the discount, but you know, I figured it's really nice. I love this handle. It matches the Spanish style of my home perfectly. And I thought this would be such a cute, like, you know, trash can or something. And the candlesticks. And what did you get? What did you get? What did I get? You got the paddles, the pizza paddles. I got this. Large jug. But it's like, what's in it? We don't know what it's made of. And there's a little one that goes with it up here. You can put your pizza paddles in there and display them. Like put them in. Oh my God. Brittany's heading back home. We went thrifting or antique shopping all day today and we got some really, really great finds. And I'm not sure if this is gonna be the end of the video here or not. So if there's more, then it wasn't. And if not, then... Goodbye. Ha ha ha. Good morning guys. It has been about a week since I last talked to you and that was when I was with Brittany from Badlands. It was so much fun antiquing with her. And since hanging out with her, I have been obsessing overlooking up antiques and vintage items online. I'm just really getting into vintage and antique furniture lately. And I'm actually at another antique store at the moment. This is Liz's antique hardware. I should know the name because I actually used to live right around the corner from here for years. Never went in and I recently saw McKenna actually go in and I wanna check it out because this could be a great resource for some antique hardware in the future. So let's check it out and see if there's anything in there. This is absolutely unreal. Look how much hardware is here, you guys. This is all antique hardware. I even see some from my style of home right there actually. This is crazy. Store knobs are, they're almost like a tortoise. I don't know if they're stone or not. I talked to one of the workers at the store and he said that the hardware starts from oldest and then goes to newer over there. So over here is like the Civil War era around 1865, which is unreal that they have hardware from this era. And it's beautiful. You guys really love these lights here. The ones with kind of like this. I don't exactly know what that material is, but I see it in a lot of Spanish lighting. I think it's really beautiful. This too, I really really like this light as well. I thought I had seen like this whole place. It is humongous. Wait until you see like what they have here. So this is the room of sconces. These are literally all sconces. How pretty are some of these, you guys? Like it is crazy. Oh my gosh, I want everything. Look at this, like Capy's light. This is all fixtures over here for bathtubs, bathroom lighting, antique towel bars. And this is like a bathroom setup that they created, which I thought was really cool. Like look how pretty some of these are, you guys, like this one, this brass towel bar with like the more like darker copper. Apparently there is a loft, which is like the upper floor. It's called the loft at Liz's, and it's like an art show. So let's check it out. How cool is this? Oh my gosh, this is such a fun store, you guys. If you have the opportunity to check out Liz's antique hardware, this is not sponsored in any way, shape, or form. I wish it was. Super cool though. So he pointed me in the direction of this second shelf here. He said this entire second shelf is Spanish Revival. It's so exciting, you guys, because all of the interior doors actually do not have any original doorknobs on them there. I will actually, the lower unit potentially might have some. It has some more of like these crystal-y style ones, which I'm not sure are original, but these ones here are actual Spanish Revival doorknobs. Now do I think I'm gonna be replacing all of them? I'm not sure, because these are expensive. But it could be nice to, you know, grab like a couple. Look how cool. Like literally the doorknob with the information on it, and then here they are all in here. Like I was saying, I might of course like exchange maybe some of them for some of these authentic ones, but just redoing all of them might be extremely expensive, because I think each of these are like quite a bit. Guys, look how much there is in here. Oh, I love these. These are really cool. Cast iron. I just stopped by another place that I found. It's called Eric's Architectural Salvage, and look how big this is. These architectural salvage doors are humongous, but already just right on walking in, I can see that they have tile, which is exciting. I'm gonna look around a bit, and then I'll share with you guys what I find. Oh my gosh, these are the arts and crafts, or like batch elder style fireplaces and fountains. These are like taken out of old homes, and you can literally purchase them. I'm sure they're very expensive. They're one of a kind, but they're beautiful. Look at this fireplace mantle. Where are those edging detail tiles? I actually have these throughout my home, you guys. Not these exact ones, but very, very, very similar. I don't know if these are, I'm sure these aren't original, they're in like boxes. But I love these. They're so cute, just a tiny little tile trim. How beautiful are these? Like, these are exactly what I wanna add to the upper kitchen, just to give a little more authentic character, like I can do with trim work on top of the marble. I love this one right here, that's really cool. Lighting, bathtubs, wow. Look at these stained glass doors over here. These are so pretty. Gosh, look at that alabaster pendant, wow. I am looking for a fireplace mantle, but this is a little too decorative. It has like goat heads on it, I think. This isn't crazy, you guys. Wow, look at these. Kind of similar to the pink tiles in the bathroom, but I can already tell they're not the right size. Oh my gosh, all this terracotta. Look at all these little decorative accents, just to kind of add back some of the character in the upper unit that was pulling or taken out of it. Blooded glass windows, I think they're so pretty, and I would've loved to see the original windows that were in the house, but I can't find them. Just tumbled across all these tiles in the basement downstairs. These are kind of cool though, look at them. I don't think I've ever really seen anything like these, really interesting. These aren't pretty though, I love them. Look at these like darker red ones. I just left Eric's architectural salvage, and oh my gosh, I just love that I have all these references now. It's honestly really nice living around an area that has so much interesting architecture that's actually been restored from older homes, and I love that you can actually purchase it. Now, of course, that comes with quite a hefty price, but I'm definitely willing to invest here and there in some statement pieces or special pieces just to bring back character to the home because a lot of the character was stripped from the upstairs, as you guys know. We have a bunch in the downstairs, but I do wanna add some more of that original character upstairs so it just feels universally like one full place. That is my video for you guys today. Hope you enjoyed coming along with me, doing some antique shopping. I know I didn't purchase too much in today's video, and we kind of primarily focused on antique stores, which is a little bit different than thrift stores because thrift prices are a fraction of the price, but antique stores, of course, they do have the curated items for you. They have the history on them, and there's really a story behind each and every one, so that's what comes with a price point, of course. Thank you guys so much for watching this video. Do not forget to subscribe for new videos every single Thursday and Sunday, and I'll catch you in my next one. Bye.
