There’s something really fun that we do here at Thrift Diving at least twice a year and that’s 30-day room challenge makeovers! We’ve been doing them for 4 years now, helping each other to turn around the rooms in our house, one at a time. But a year ago I took our 30-day challenge and turned it into an outdoor makeover… View Post
BEFORE and AFTER: Vintage Bar Cart Makeover From the Thrift Store!
For the sake of ease, let’s just call this a vintage bar cart makeover from the thrift store. (Although I am definitely aware that this is an old TV cart from the 60’s and 70’s, I much prefer to think of it as a bar cart or, as I will use it, a tea cart!).

BEFORE & AFTER: Dining Room Bench Makeover Using Beyond Paint
I absolutely love dining room benches! I had found this dining room bench at the thrift store for a measly $15. It was perfect for my dining room table, for which I had only paid $12.00.

My Pretty Custom Welcome Mat Makeover With Spray Paint
I don’t know if I should be embarrassed or amused that our new custom welcome mat belonged to the previous owners. We never threw out their old worn-out rubber welcome mat when we moved in. Who does that?? Apparently us. It’s not my fault. The welcome mat was dirty, but it was still in solid condition. And you know how… View Post
