Meet Augusta Wheeler, the Thrifty Hippie
Augusta's boho style extends from home to street with vintage clothing and jewelry. Check out her boho chic style on Instagram. Read on for more of her top tips to bring the new bohemian trend into your life.
Use a Seasonal Shelf Display
Use an Unexpected Color
Old School Style
We like to think of it as upcycling from one generation to the next: This vintage leather jacket with fringe belonged to Augusta's husband's aunt. Augusta says that you can never go wrong with fringe.
Fall Means Boots!
Warm Up a Room With Plants
Keep Your Eyes Peeled for Statement Pieces
Augusta scored this amazing Nefertiti bust when she went to an estate sale looking for a rug. She combined the statue with other metal pieces to create a small brass-themed vignette.
Make a Vintage Grouping
This clever, themed wall was created from baskets all collected from different thrift stores. They give the wall behind the table interest that balances out the bright hutch that sits on the wall parallel.
Revamp With Paint
This antique hutch is one of Augusta's all time favorite finds she found on an online yard sale. She scored the hutch for a whopping $30 and gave it a second life with a fresh paint job. It holds treasures from her children, plants, eye-catching thrift store finds and dinnerware.
Mix Metals, Wood and Glass
Augusta mixes thrifted copper finds with some she acquired from her grandfather. The copper displays beautifully along with other organic elements in this kitchen vignette.
Eclectic Mix
The lamp belonged to Augusta's husband's grandmother. It happened to match an existing one she already had. More vintage decor scored at a thrift store adds eclectic charm to this bedside table.
Custom Art
Create your own art for a pop of color. Augusta created the string art with a branch found at a local park. The branch-art's burst of color accents the mirrored plant holder above.
Accessorize Your Home and Yourself
Augusta's bohemian style stems from her soul. Just as she accessorizes her home with a creative, idiosyncratic blend of objects, she loves to accessorize herself with similar elements: lace, leather, metals and turquoise.
