Hello beautiful friends! I'm so excited today because Nancy and I have a brand new Thriftshop Shakedown video to share with you!! Nancy blogs at Artsy Chicks Rule and we met about six years ago or so through our blogs. Would you believe that we started our blogs only days apart in the same year? We've been dear friends ever since! Every few months we get together for a day of thrifting and we record it so we can share it with you! We also each pick out something to make over while we're … [Read more...]
70’s Gold Mirror Makeover
May 14, 2019 by 58 Comments
Amazing friends, today's the day! I had two pieces left in my last haul, and I'm keeping one of them as-is to possibly use in my staircase gallery wall. That means today's the day I'm sharing my final piece of this haul woohoo! It seemed like this was such a large pile at the start, didn't it? It's also Trash-to-Treasure Tuesday, so my talented friends are sharing makeovers of their own as well. Be sure to look for their projects at the bottom! Before we get to today's makeover, I have … [Read more...]
Super Dated Hutch Makeover
May 9, 2019 by 36 Comments
Hi there, amazing friends!! Since I'm working feverishly to get my yard sale stuff together, even though it looks like rain is heading our way on Saturday boohoo, I decided to pull an old favorite out to share today! I first shared this back in 2016 and it's been a while since I shared a hutch, so here ya go: This was one very dated hutch! I love these older hutches because they have so much charm, but one thing I didn't find very charming on this one were these plastic amber door … [Read more...]
Ornate Thrift Store Boxes
May 7, 2019 by 44 Comments
Hello beautiful friends! I have whittled down my latest thrifty haul to just a few remaining pieces. Today I'm sharing these two ornate boxes I picked up at two different thrift stores: I always pick up pretty boxes when I see them. They are quick and easy to paint up and usually sell quickly. I've included a few affiliate links so you can find the products I love. I started with the larger of the two: I paid more than I would have liked for this one at $4.25, but I couldn't … [Read more...]

May 2, 2019 by 34 Comments
Frames...okay can we add frames to the list of things I can't pass up when I see a great deal? That's frames, mirrors, and picnic baskets ha ha. I'm sensing a theme here...ahem hoarder. Welcome back, awesome friends! I'm getting down to the final few pieces from my last thrifting/estate sale haul, and today I'm repurposing this pretty frame: Anytime I see a frame with these curvy lines, I just can't resist picking it up, especially when it's half off of! This was $3.25 but all blue … [Read more...]
$6 Mirror Makeover
April 30, 2019 by 64 Comments
I'm about as bad about mirrors as I am about picnic baskets! I really have a hard time passing them up when I see a good deal since they can work in just about any space and are usually good sellers for me. I've shared a couple in the past few months and sweet friends, today I have another! This beauty was only $6.25: However, it wasn't without its flaws. I've included a few affiliate links so you can find the products I love. You might be able to see in the photo above that some … [Read more...]
$19 Estate Sale Desk Makeover

Amazing friends, I am so excited about today's makeover! I'm joining my Furniture Fixer Upper crew and I have the perfect project piece! My friends have furniture flips of their own to share today so be on the lookout for their projects at the bottom. I found this desk at the same estate sale where I found the fretwork cabinet and the shelving unit I already shared from this haul... It was marked $38, but since everything was half off, I got it for just $19! That was a hard deal to … [Read more...]

Who's up for a thrifty makeover today? I'm always up for transforming forgotten treasures into brand new functional decor! Beautiful friends, today I am sharing how I reloved two such pieces: They might be showing their age, but they still have a lot of life left to live! I've included a few affiliate links so you can find the products I love. Let's start with the recipe box that I scored for 99¢: Personally I prefer hand-written recipes or recipes that I have printed out … [Read more...]
$24 Estate Sale Cabinet Makeover
April 18, 2019 by 68 Comments
Amazing friends, can I tell you how nice it was to get away for a few days? Our boys are on Spring break this week, so we decided to head to D.C. to see the museums and monuments. There is so much to see! If you ever get the chance to go, be sure to visit the National Archives Museum. We got to see the original Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, among tons of other super cool documents from our nation's history. Here is my favorite thing I found at the Smithsonian National Museum … [Read more...]
Repurposed Candle Holders
April 16, 2019 by 20 Comments
Hello sweet friends!! I have a fun repurpose to share with y'all today! I'm sharing what I made out of these candle holders I scored for 99¢ each on my last thrifting day: I always keep an eye open for small wooden candlesticks because they can be repurposed in several ways, so of course I grabbed these! They were the perfect size to make into tiered jewelry holders! All I needed was some pretty china and voila: I used one of these candle holders for the bottom tier. I … [Read more...]
