Thrifty Finds

Painted herringbone coffee table

August 3, 2017

Hello friends! I seem to be on a find-dated-furniture-and-paint-it-every-color-you-love kick the last few weeks. But a solid piece of furniture that needs a facelift is so hard to pass up!

Farmhouse lantern gross to gorgeous!

March 5, 2017

We almost missed this huge lantern when thrifting recently.  There it sat, super dirty and full of cobwebs, looking sad and sitting on the dusty floor of our local thrift shop. It was the price tag that got out attention, $6.99 at Goodwill for a huge metal and glass lantern that is screaming for a…

Thrift Store Redo: a thrift store chair makeover

September 10, 2015

DIY Lamp Makeover Before + After!!

February 26, 2015

DIY Knotted Leather Hanging Planter

January 29, 2015

Do you love to pop into your favorite thrift stores and just see stuff you cannot live without? (daily, weekly, yearly, if it’s frequent that’s a relief & hopefully will justify how often I go!) Oh good. I know, and I feel the same way. The thrill of the hunt is hard to beat, and while…

Upcycled apron from a skirt

April 28, 2014

Call me a lover of kitch & all things retro.  I love the idea of having a stash of super sassy aprons hanging around just waiting to be thrown over my clothes to ensure they are nice and clean once I am done whipping up dinner. Most days I am working in jeans and a…
