I’ve paired up with 19 other talented ladies to bring you a monthly Thrift Store Decor Upcycle Challenge. Each month we will create a new home decor piece from an item(s) we’ve found at a thrift store, yard sale, resale shop etc. There is no budget or specific theme so we are free to let our creativity run wild!

Meet the Hosts

You can also follow our board on Pinterest for more upcycled decor inspiration!

I am so happy to be participating in this monthly challenge. You all know how much I love to update thrift store finds! But my favorite part is seeing what all the other bloggers come up with. There are some amazingly creative people out there! Sometimes I’ll look at a before picture of their item and see the transformation and think, how in the heck did they have the vision to create that? It definitely inspires me and we hope it inspires you as well! I was in New Hampshire recently picking up my College girl and had to stop by my favorite Goodwill. They opened a new room in the back of the store that is just furniture-yippee! I found this beautiful half-moon table:

Do you see that price?

Hello-$5 for this lovely table-score! The legs are beautiful and it was in great shape-no repairs needed. I just gave it a good cleaning to prepare it for painting. I really wanted a bright Summer color. I used Country Chic paint in Icicle for the top and Vanilla Frosting for the legs. Don’t you just love the names?

I painted it with two coats of each color, letting it dry between coats. I really wanted to go with a nautical theme and picked up this wood anchor at Michaels for $1.50 with my 50% off coupon!

I traced it with chalk and can use the anchor for another project:

I then used the Vanilla Frosting paint to fill in the anchor:

I outlined it with a black sharpie paint pen to give it some dimension:

A light sanding and clear wax and this little $5 table went from drab to fab!

Thanks for visiting Our Crafty Mom! Have a great day!

Love it, although I wish your Goodwill would talk to ours...they'd mark a table like that at $50 instead of $5. Your project came out great. #HomeMattersParty

That's crazy Jeanne! The whole point at shopping at Goodwill is to get a deal! I shop routinely in CT, RI & NH and they are all priced in that range. I wish I could ship some to you, lol! Have a great day!
