Today is one of my favorite days of the year. It's our annual Thrift Store Decor Team wrap-up where we all show you our favorite projects.
As if the year is coming to an end? Already?
We really did a lot of fun upcycling projects in 2021.
100 to be exact.
I'll highlight a few of the trash to treasure makeovers I am particularly fond of and the rest of the 100 will be listed down toward the bottom.
My Favorite Upcycling Projects From The Thrift Store Decor Team - 2021
Upcycled Rake Wreath
Kathy from Petticoat Junktion managed to take an old rake head and turn it into something pretty for your front door.
This rake turned "wreath" is one of my favorites.

You gotta love when gardening and upcycling collide!

Upcycling With Mod Podge & Napkins
Christy from Our Southern Home managed to take an old outdated wooden ice bucket, add a little paint, mod podge, and some paper napkins and create a stylish piece for her dining room.
How cool is that! (OK, it's an ice bucket so it's automatically pretty cool!)

Bleaching Wooden Bowls For A Modern Farmhouse Look
As for me, I think my own favorite project that I made with my own two hands is when I took an old monkey pod bowl (fancy name for wood) from the thrift store and turned it into a Modern Farmhouse bowl.
A little little sanding and bleach make all the difference.

That bleached bowl looks so good! I haven't tried bleaching wood yet...but I see it in my future! So glad you chose our school cart. Can you believe it was $2?? Our customer loved it too. Pinned 😊
