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...]
$6 Mirror Makeover
April 30, 2019 by 66 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...]
Thrift Store Decor: The Rest of Thrift Store Haul #2!
March 26, 2019 by 50 Comments
Hello beautiful friends! I'm back today with what was left from thrift store haul #2, three pieces that turned into pretty home decor! Here is the first item I'm sharing today: This was a steal at $9.98, but this was not an unusual find. I find pretty mirrors similarly priced quite often and they are usually good sellers for me. If you're in need of a mirror, definitely hit up the thrift store first. This one was from 1977 according the stamp on the back and it was heavy duty plastic. … [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...]
Pretty Thrift Store Mirror Makeover
January 17, 2019 by 34 Comments
Hey there amazing friends, and welcome back! I'm here today sharing another piece from my latest thrifting day, this beautiful mirror: Now this was not on deep discount like the previous two pieces I shared from this haul, but at $25, it was still worth it. It was in perfect condition and didn't need to be made over at all. But you know me...I just can't help myself. Plus I knew it would sell more easily with a fresh new paint job: It matches beautifully with my storage piece … [Read more...]

$6 Thrift Store Mirror Makeover
September 20, 2018 by 43 Comments
Beautiful friends, I have another cheapie thrift store makeover for ya'll today! This mirror has been in my stash for probably two years now: It was only $6 so I really couldn't pass it up. It originally had hinges on either side that probably attached to two smaller mirrors on either side, and sat on a dresser. I removed the hinges and filled the holes several months ago and this is how it has sat in my storage room ever since. I decided to pull it out and just start … [Read more...]
Faux Etched Glass Mirror
May 17, 2018 by
Hello amazing friends! I have a fun project to share with ya'll today! It all started with this frame I found at the thrift store for $4: It was going to become one of the chalk boards that Jack was working on for my booth, but then I decided I wanted try something fun with it at the last minute. I found a piece of glass to fit it from one of the other frames he was working on and set it aside. I've included a few affiliate links so you can find the products I use. Here is what … [Read more...]
Mirror turned Chalkboard
October 3, 2017 by
Hello amazing friends! I have another makeover to share with ya'll from this pile of goodies I picked up last Saturday: It's this mirror I scored for $4.98: If you missed what I did with the baskets, see them HERE. I had passed it up twice before since the mirror in it was so heavy. Then when I saw it last Saturday, it had been marked down again and it occurred to me that it would make a fantastic chalkboard! Don't you think? This wall is in our kitchen and I knew I … [Read more...]
Frame and Mirror Upcycle
September 19, 2017 by
Happy Tuesday, awesome Friends!! I spent the better part of this past weekend in my paint pants painting all the trim in my kitchen and this hallway that leads to the back stairs: That includes NINE doorways, 3 large windows in the kitchen (one is actually a door), and five interior doors (laundry room, garage, storage room, door to FROG, and pantry), plus all the base molding and chair rail that connects them! This just seemed like such a daunting task, but I am so happy it is … [Read more...]
