Two Upcycled Thrift Shop Finds for my Farmhouse Style Kitchen

Thrifting is usually slow this time of year in northern Minnesota due to cold weather.  I have been going through my stash of junk in the garage looking for things to repurpose and/or upcycle when I came across two sets of bookends. I am pretty sure that these dark stained wooden bookends were homemade.
