    70 Home Decor Makeovers

    This post may contain affiliate links

    Inexpensive and creative home decor makeovers for you from thrift store finds. You’ll be surprised at the creations you can make from everyday items. The Thrift Store Team finds inexpensive items at local thrift stores or flea markets and upcycles them. The fun makeovers below are from the whole group. I've included a before photo of my budget makeovers….then the after photo. Click any of the photos to see the complete project. Then click the photo links at the bottom of the post to view more projects. As an added bonus I included a short video tutorial I filmed on three easy upcycled crafts you can make.

    70 Home Decor Makeovers

    The decorative gift boxes were too pretty to use as boxes! You guys know I love those bold colors. I framed one of the box lids and hung it in the granddaughters bedroom. Talk about inexpensive art. You can frame other things like fabric, kid's paintings, vinyl stickers, etc. Get creative with it.

    spray paint a thrift store basket

    This basket with the cool handles got a coat of spray paint and a fluffy addition. It’s also in the granddaughters bedroom. Works great for holding their tea set. Baskets come in handy for corralling cookbooks, hand towels, etc.

    The out of date wall art looked so much better with a coat of spray paint. I decided on white but black paint distressed would be nice too. They are hanging in our dining room now.

    The wood framed mirror isn’t a mirror any more. I got caught in the photo. The mirror is pretty seashell art. Just a simple stencil craft.

    rain boot upcycle

    You guys know the rain boots had me at hello. I couldn't resist the pretty colors. Not only do they make a unique flower vase, they're just my size. Win-Win. To display real flowers in boots like these just put them in a vase and slip the vase into the boots.

    The rusty bucket got a coat of wax. Then I hot glued sisal rope and a starfish to the bucket. It makes the perfect seashell container.

    repurposed-drawer-2_thumb

    This really heavy office desk drawer makes a great serving tray. I added a coat of paint and sisal rope handles. I have a sisal rope addiction.

    vintage-fabric-calendar_thumb

    The fabric calendar was in my junk stash forever. It was a find from my favorite junk shop. I cut the calendar up (I know, bad) and framed part of it. The frame came from the junk shop too. Frame something unexpected.

    Goodwill-scarf-for-99-cents-Petticoat-Junktion-thrift-store-decor-project_thumb

    I love the colors of the infinity scarf. Blue and green are the perfect color combo….kind of like red and turquoise and pink and orange. I cut the scarf and tied it around a grapevine wreath. Ta-dah, instant wreath. This is so simple and you can change the scarf or other decor with the seasons.

    If you've always wanted to know how to paint problem furniture here's a video I made that shows a secret technique!

    Problem Furniture? No Problem

    reclaimed-chair-back_thumb

    The reclaimed door back was the perfect backdrop for an inexpensive thrift store wreath. I displayed the wreath on the mantel for Fall.

    trays-before_thumb

    The last project is all about special paint techniques. The four trays got painted then had a super secret special technique applied to the paint. The belt handles dress up the trays. Time to watch the "Paint Sprayer For Furniture" video I made....
