Top 100 Thrift Store Home Decor Makeovers

Thrift Store home decor makeovers don't have to be challenging. When you shop the thrift stores keep an eye out for lamps, wreaths, dinner plates, candle holders, and glass jars.

You can find all kinds of hidden gems and thrifty items to upcycle. These things can be updated easily and in so many ways. The projects in this post are super easy. Take a look and pick out one to try.

Tiered Cookie/Dessert Stand. Thrift Store Home Decor Makeover

For these little tiered stands, you can use just about anything. This one is a candle holder I spray painted (find my favorite spray paint color here) and a china dinner plate. Easy as pie....or cookies!

Upcycled Teapot Planters

Junky and funky finds make the best flower planters. You will have the most unique porch decor on the block. Watch the video showing how to update a few thrifty finds in minutes...

Thrifty DIY Projects

 

Small Thrift Store Home Decor Makeover Rooster Lamp

Unless you see the before you can't appreciate this makeover. Spray paint is one of my favorite DIY supplies. Spray paint makeovers are an easy and inexpensive way to update your home decor.

Belts- From Trash To Treasure

You can do all kinds of things with recycled belts. I decorated a glass vase with fun girly belts and I've also used belts to make handles for wood boxes!

DIY Galvanized Cake Stand

The Galvanized Cake Stand by Debbie is perfect for serving up cupcakes, cookies, or small cakes like the one under the glass dome. Doesn't it just make you happy to look at that cake stand? Of course, it could be the Strawberry Cake, but no......that's not it.

The galvanized pie plate turned upside down on the bucket is perfection. Debbie aged the bucket using vinegar! I've heard of that process but it's too much work for me. I want to buy my stuff already aged.

Chalkboard Wall Art

Another favorite, the "gather" chalkboard art is so classy looking. I like the way Christy spray painted the whole thing including the frame with black chalkboard paint then used white to paint over the frame. Saves a step or two because by just distressing the white paint you highlight the chalkboard paint underneath.

But my favorite part is how she wrote the "gather" word on the surface. Christy gives a complete tutorial on how to get the word on the chalkboard and make it look so pretty.

Teacup Candle

Now if this idea isn't just the cutest. Fun yet sophisticated. The china design is really pretty and Maryann has a trick to melting and pouring the wax. The teacup candle would make a great inexpensive Christmas gift.

Sweater Pillow Cover

Anything with texture catches my eye. When I spotted the sweater pillow cover by Kristin I immediately wanted to snuggle it. Nothing like a warm sweater on a cold day. I think I would sew those pretty buttons from the sweater onto my pillow somewhere. 

Glass Globe Solar Lights

I'm on a mission to buy glass globes and make some of these solar lights. Gail put seven of them together for less than $7. I spot similar globes at thrift store all of the time. Look for a similar project from me soon. Of course I can't completely copy them. The next trash to treasure makeover is one of mine from earlier this year.

Serving Stands

The Pier One plates on brass stands were very inexpensive. I think I made the two stands for under $5. These stands are really dressy, flashy, sassy. I like the serving stand idea so much because the things you can put together to make them is almost endless. Think about pans, platters, ashtrays, candlesticks, vases, etc.

A fan favorite thrift store makeover is this handy utensil caddy...

One of my favorite thrifty decor projects is when I framed a decorative gift box as art for my granddaughter's bedroom.

Framed Gift Box

So many  of my trash to treasure / thrift store decor makeovers involve spray paint. Spray paint is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to update furniture or home decor.
