Upcycle Ideas From 7 Thrift Haul Items

I’ll take you through the transformation/upcycling process I went through with a haul of thrifted home decor items. I love creating home decor on a budget and you will be amazed at these before and after projects.

Some of these items are staying in my home and others are sold in my retail booth. A couple of items are from a previous Goodwill haul.

1. Thrift haul

Here’s my latest haul from Goodwill. Here’s what’s in this haul:

• A journal with a suede cover that I got for $1.99
• A tarnished gravy boat with a wooden handle for $1.99
• Votive candle holders with fork and spoon handles for $1.99 each
• Cream and sugar set that can sell for nearly $50 based on research I did online but there is a chip in the creamer
• Enamel colander for $1.00 that I can paint
• Wood wagon for $2.99 that I can maybe turn into a tray
• A metal votive candle holder For $1.99 that I can paint and turn into a planter
• A wooden paper towel holder and spice rack for $2.99 each that I’ll paint and distress as a set
• A wooden shelf with a heart that I will reconstruct because the bottom drawer is really cute.
• Glass jar for .99 cents

Wood items are your best deal at thrift stores. You have to look past the 1990s brown stain for the possibilities. Read more...
