Hello lovelies!! I'm back today sharing how I updated this flatware box: The title suggests it was only $2, but it was actually marked $3.25. However all green tags were half price the day I found this, so it was even cheaper...$1.63! It would have been weird to put that in the title. In fact, the only reason I picked this up is because it was so cheap! Some of the flatware boxes I come across are just beautiful, but there is nothing fancy about this one at all. I'm so glad I bought … [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...]

Hello amazing friends!! If ya'll have followed me for any length of time at all, you know I have a hard time passing up a few things. One of them is old flatware boxes. Imagine my delight when I happened upon the mother of all flatware boxes at the thrift store by my Mom's house a few months ago! I should have put a soda can in the picture so you could appreciate how huge this thing is! It is over two feet wide. It was $9.98 and immediately went into my cart. I've included a few … [Read more...]
Flatware Box Makeover
May 2, 2017 by
Hello lovely Friends! If you read about my big purge not too long ago, you may remember this photo: This was a pile of things I decided to keep, figuring I could still do something with them. Three of those items are flatware boxes, you know the kind that fancy silverware comes in? I decided to start at the top of the pile with this $3 thrift store flatware box: I rarely pass up one of these boxes if they're in good shape. Because... They make perfect jewelry … [Read more...]
Mini Chest Makeover

Hey there, my awesome Friends! I missed ya'll on Thursday! I had a great long weekend, but I'm pretty sure I went up a pant size. I ate a half a batch of chocolate chip cookies myself. In one night. (And they were totally worth it.) Now it's time to get back to work stocking my booth for the Holidays, so I can pay for all the things I bought on Black Friday. No I didn't go out and fight crowds...I found all kinds of great deals online this year! My kind of shopping! I told you last week … [Read more...]

Romantic Flatware Box Makeover
March 21, 2016 by
It seems like there are a couple of items that I just can't seem to pass up when I go thrifting. One of them is frames, and the other is flatware boxes. It wouldn't be March Madness if I didn't share a bit of both. Today's makeover my sweet Friends, #21...can you believe it??, is this flatware box I picked up for $5: I loved the curvy lines. How could I not shove this in my cart immediately for only $5? I decided to give this one a bit of a romantic feel: And for the romance … [Read more...]
Stinky Gross Flatware Box Makeover
August 25, 2015 by
I really just could not think of a more befitting name for this post. I found this flatware box at the thrift store for just under $5. Here it is as I found it: Ooh good find, right? There are so many possible uses for a little chest like this... Except it needed a little TLC: Ok a LOT of TLC. So gross. It smelled so musty and yet I brought it home anyway for $5 more dollars than I should have. I would never have had the nerve to donate this! But luckily for me, someone … [Read more...]
