Organized Clutter

I found this $1 wooden duck plaque at a local fundraiser rummage sale. I thought it was perfect for a makeover.

I found this wood chip basket pumpkin at a recent garage sale.  It was a little tired looking so I gave it a makeover! Scroll on down for my basket makeover and 8 other September upcycling projects from the Thrift Store Decor Team.

One of my bathrooms still has it's original tile, tub, toilet and sink!   It's definitely not for everyone.  At times I want to renovate it myself and replace the coral wall tiles. Over the last 30 some years, I have decorated my 1950's bathroom with vintage decor including lady head vases.

I found this old stool at a garage sale back in 2018, along with a lot of other items for upcycling  HERE. Read on to see the stool makeover, along with seven other upcycled projects from the Thrift Store Decor Team!

  I purchased this oak, ice box style end table for $20 at a garage sale in 2021. I just gave it a makeover!

I purchased these three suitcases at a garage sale for $10. They are not really old, but they still can become fun decor pieces with a few supplies.

I purchased this camp style shovel many years ago at an estate sale. The handle had been painted a bright blue. I saw it hanging on the garage wall the other day and decided to give it a makeover.

This is a photo of a vintage wooden Stanley level I found during the Littlefork, Minnesota, citywide garage sales last summer.

Back in 2017, I upcycled this rough, vintage wooden footstool found at a garage sale.  Maybe you remember it.

I purchased this oak pedestal plant table/stand at a garage sale for $8. I decided to repurpose it as a martini table.

This utensil crock was a $1 find at recent local garage sale. I gave it a makeover!

I picked up these little bottles in a rusty black metal holder at a garage sale for $1 last Saturday. I just gave them a festive Christmas makeover!

I didn't paint this pulley! It was orange at the consignment/antique shop. I thought it made a great  Fall Wreath. Check out more junk repurpose ideas as decor.

This item was labeled as a plant stand at a June garage sale I attended.   I paid $8 for it. 

I shared this old suitcase in a June post on recent finds  HERE. I paid $2 for it at a garage sale.  It's a vintage cardboard suitcase marked T & S Worcester.  It's a little beat up but not dirty inside.  I am going to give it a makeover!

  I shared this child's chair in my recent thrift shop & garage sale finds post  HERE. Today, I gave it a makeover!

I have had this old bench for a few years now, and have used it on my covered patio in prior years.  I decided to give it a makeover. See the bench makeover AND my summer covered patio decor below.

Do you remember this grubby $1 tongue and groove bead board cabinet door from my recent garage sales  HERE ? I just finished a project with it today.

  This old metal typing table was a 2019 find at the Littlefork Citywide Rummage Sales.   I paid $1 for it. I found it still kicking around in my shed this spring and decided to give it a makeover for my covered patio.   

Today I'm sharing some of my recent thrift shop & garage sale finds. This wooden magazine rack with tooled leather sides was found at Goodwill.  I may remove the leather or paint it as it smells sort of musty.  I paid $7.99.
