It’s been another year of great thrift store décor ideas. I’m sharing all of my projects from the past year as well as projects from the Thrift Store Décor team in a thumbnail linkup below. Be sure to check them out below.
This fun Pedestal Stand was made from a yard sale tiered table and some cake pans. You seriously won’t believe how awful the table was when I found it.
An inexpensive jute mat is the perfect item to make a customized Spray Paint Welcome Mat for you or as a gift for a neighbor or friend. These plain rugs are easily found at thrift stores or even your big box hardware store.
I made a Floor Lamp Solar Chandelier using thrift store items. These solar lamp chandeliers are great for porches and patios, or even on the deck by the pool. I used solar lights, but for a more romantic ambiance you could use candles.
I’m always seeing suitcases while out junking. This was my first Vintage Suitcase Makeover. It was a little challenging, but I used all the old pieces of fabric to make a pattern for the new pieces.
Ceiling fan globes are a dime a dozen at yard sales and thrift shops. Well, really more like $1 each. These Glass Solar Globe Lights were really easy to make using cheap solar lights and wire from the dollar store.
I’m always collecting drawers of all sizes, but this Vintage Drawer Shelf was made out of a unique drawer. I love the shape of it. Oh, and the color? I’m pretty much addicted to it these days.
Coffee tables make the perfect bench. This End of Bed Bench from a Coffee Table is so helpful for Lulu Mae to get on and off the bed. I also use it to put on my shoes and socks.
Do you paint plastic? I love using my own DIY chalky paint primer in my Finish Max instead of spray paint such as in the case of this Repurposed Gold Syroco Mirror. I also added some of my favorite glaze to tone the color down a little. By removing the mirror and adding cork board-this gem became the perfect memo board.
I have had this small wooden box for year! It was a fun project. Easy projects like this Small Trinket Box Makeover give me a much needed break in between my larger repurposed furniture projects.
That’s all of my projects from 2017! But below we have all included many, many more projects to inspire your creative juices.
