I just cant't resist these pieces and almost always pick them up when I see them! I really enjoy pulling these past projects together … [Read more...]
How to Recover a Tufted Footstool (The Cheater’s Way!)
February 19, 2019 by 89 Comments
Lovely friends, welcome back! I am working my way through thrifty haul #2 and the next item on the chopping block is this tufted footstool I scored for only $12: What a bargain! I fell in love with the legs and the bow front on this beauty right away, and it was so super soft and comfy. That's where the love affair ended though because the rest was crying SOS. When I first saw it I actually thought I might just buy it for the legs and maybe I could use them on something else. But after … [Read more...]

Hello amazing friends and Happy Valentine's Day! Of course I love my Hubby, but seriously, there are few things I love more than taking forgotten treasures and giving them new life again! Who's with me? Today I'm continuing through my new thrift store haul with this vintage suitcase I scored for only $4! I actually found two similar green suitcases together that day and both were only $4 each. Funny thing, the young girl ringing me up didn't know how to open them ha ha! I am always … [Read more...]

A Tale of Two Rack Makeovers
February 7, 2019 by 42 Comments
Sweet friends, today I am sharing a tale of two racks! Left in my pile of thrift store treasures, was a magazine rack and a spice rack. Both pieces were only $1.98 each, and since they are simple items, both of those pieces are getting a makeover today! Let's start with the magazine rack, shall we? Here is a reminder of how it started: Magazine racks are all over the thrift stores these days. With everyone having cell phones, it seems no one needs reading material for the bathroom … [Read more...]

Thrift Store Drawer Upcycle
January 31, 2019 by 74 Comments
Hello sweet friends! Today I am back with one more item from my pile of goodies I scored on my last day of thrifting...another one of these drawers: I found four drawers in all that day that came from a piece of furniture that couldn't be salvaged I guess. No problem, I scooped them right up. The problem is, once you get them home, what do you do with them? It's hard to come up with new and clever ways to use old drawers and so there they sit. Am I right? Not this time though because I … [Read more...]
Thrift Store Picture Repurposed
January 29, 2019 by 36 Comments
Hello amazing friends! Are ya'll ready to see what else I salvaged from that pile of thrift store goodies? Today I'm sharing how I repurposed this picture: It was marked down twice to $4.98. The frame was wood and had lovely detailing on it, so in the cart it went. Now when I said I repurposed the picture, I fibbed a bit because I don't think there is much hope for the actual picture, but I was able to reuse the frame in an awesome way. I was working in my shop (aka the garage) … [Read more...]

$2 Thrift Store Drawer Upcycle
January 22, 2019 by 86 Comments
Hello dear friends! I've got another makeover to share today from my last thrifting haul. Working through these pieces one by one has actually stopped me from thrifting until I get these all done. It is the best thing ever! I shared a peek of today's piece on Thursday: I actually picked up two small drawers and two this size: The furniture piece they came with must have been in very poor condition and so maybe they figured they could still make money on the drawers. For $6 for … [Read more...]
