    6 High End Style Thrift Store Furniture Makeovers

    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.

    6 high end style furniture makeovers

    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

    {click on the names to go to the original posts.}

    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.

     

    I hope you enjoyed taking a look at back at some of these amazing projects with me, I almost forgot what some of these pieces looked like!

    The focus was on thrifted furniture today, but keep an eye out for a home decor version of thrifted pieces I've made over!

    I can't wait to find some more gems like these in the future to give a new look too!
