One of my favorite bloggers, Rashon Carraway, Mr. Goodwill Hunting himself has come up with a brilliant idea for all of us that love thrifting…a nationwide I LOVE THRIFTING shopping event. On July 9th, all across the country, fellow thrift shoppers will gather together for a fun day of friendship and shopping.
Rashon, Mr.GWH, as I’ll call him, has developed an incredible following, not only because of his talent but because of his charming personality.
I had the pleasure of meeting him a few weeks ago at an event put on by Room Service Atlanta at the Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams showroom, and is southern charm and charisma are truly infectious.

In case you missed Mr.GWH showcasing his talents on The Nate Show, here are a few images of rooms he designed in his own home.
This is Rashon’s living room, decorated with refurbished thrift store finds. I love the mix of finishes and the rich color palette he used.
Believe it or not, this was the sofa before Rashon added his own style!
These gold lamps are stunning and the gold hardware on the black chest give it so much style.
The chest of drawers before Rashon’s magic touch.
His master bedroom. Obviously, Rashon loves the color red as much as I do.
This fabric lined tray is just beautiful.
Rashon’s design portfolio is growing by the day, so be sure to hop over to the Mr. Goodwill Hunting website and check out all that’s he’s been up to.
check out the before and after photos on the Mr. GWH website to see what this lamp look like before!
When you see the beautiful pieces he’s created from thrift store finds, doesn’t it make you want to hit your local thrift store? If so, check out all the details for the I Love Thrifting events going on around the country on July 9th.
