Thrifty Decor

Sometimes thrift stores are the perfect place to find things to decorate your home. 

Yesterday I found these two goodies at my local Goodwill.


I decided I could use them here:

The top of my daughters constantly cluttered dresser needed a little makeover.

Bad.

(Before)


(After)

This wicker basket (which at first I considered painting white or black) is now perfect for holding my daughters collection of Box Car Children books.


I was in love with the shape of this frame.  I popped the old picture out, painted it white, roughed it up with a little sanding, and added a little flower.


Total cost of this mini-makeover:  $2.00

AWESOME!

  1. Nice job! Neat ideas, too. Have you thought perhaps putting a more recent photo of your daughter or family in the frame?

  3. Goodwill is such an awesome place to find decor! A few weeks ago I picked up some vases (Pier 1 price tags still on) for $2/ea.
