The Home I Create: Thrifting, Affordable Home Decor, and DIY

Hey friends! I had such a good time going down memory lane to put together this post sharing 6 thrift store furniture makeovers with high end style.

If you’ve read this blog for any length of time, you know I’m an avid thrifter.

I love taking a piece that was cast aside and breathing new life into it.

I’ve scored some of my favorite furniture pieces in our home from thrift stores, estate sales, and antique stores/mall {it all fall under the umbrella thrifting to me}.

If you’re anything like me, then you love a good before and after. So let’s take a look at these 6 thrift store furniture makeovers.

6 Incredible Thrift Store Furniture Makeovers

1 | Faux Bamboo Server

When I found this vintage Drexel heritage faux bamboo server it was yellow and dingy. However, I fell in love with it on site and could see the potential.

After a few coats of white paint and some gold spray paint on the hardware. This piece was back to its former glory.

2 | Vintage Campaign Dresser

When I found this vintage campaign dresser I was sooo excited I mean I practically ran to pull off that price tag.

I still haven’t shared this makeover on the blog yet, but it’s coming.

3 | Vintage Campaign Nightstand

A few months before I found my campaign dresser, I was lucky enough to find this campaign nightstand. I painted it my favorite navy blue spray paint. It looked great in my son's bedroom makeover.

4 | Vintage Lucite Office Chair

It's so hard to come across real lucite pieces when thrifting, let alone one that is a good price. So I hit the jackpot when I found this authentic lucite {not acrylic} chair for my daughter's room at a steal! I took some inspiration from Pottery Barn Teen office chairs, with the fur and gold legs.

5 | DIY Lacquered Table Makeover

This narrow wood table I scored at an estate sale was a perfect size and shape for my sectional. It was my first time using an oil base paint, and I loved the results.

6 | Vintage Fretwork Console Table

When I came across this Chippendale style console table, that I had previously drooled over on not one but two of my favorite home decor blogs, I did a little jig. Of course, my favorite navy blue table was at work but I'm always willing to paint it again when the mood strikes.
