    I'm going to highlight a few of my favorite makeovers and then at the bottom you will see a whole ton more of them! 100 to be exact!

    Is a hundred a ton? I'm not good at math.

    Be inspired by the BEST home decorating ideas on a budget with these thrift store makeovers from TOP DIY bloggers! #thriftstoremakeover #thriftstorefinds #thrifting #diyhomedecor #diyprojects

    And before I go any further, Janet from Colorado is the winner of the Giveaway!!! Thank you all for entering, I wish I had a tree for each and every one of you!

    My favorite thrift store makeovers

    (Psst - You can view each project by clicking on the link below the photo highlighted in blue. The link will open in a new page, so you don't lose your place here.)

    I still love my Boho Succulent Planter made from a thrift store tray. It's a quick and easy project and the thrift stores are just full of old serving trays (I'm betting people aren't fond of storing them in between holidays so they get put in the donate pile).

    This Message Board that Debbie from Refresh Restyle made to look like one of those old church attendance boards was inspiring. Oh, and she made it out of an old calendar holder.

    Maryann at Domestically Speaking's Copper And Burgundy Mercury Glass pieces made from thrift store vases are a stylish way to keep those 1,001 glass vases that are lining the thrift stores shelves out of the landfill! And they're pretty darn cute too!

    Gayle from My Repurposed Life made a cute kitchen command center out of an old cabinet door. These old cabinet doors are a dime a dozen (don't take me literally on that) at the Habitat Restore stores.

    Sadie Seasongoods continuously KILLS me with her innovative thrift store makeovers. Like this industrial metal tray made from a piece of . . . Tupperware!

    Christy at Our Southern Home has a knack for finding baskets at thrift stores and bringing them back to life like this one she made over for her front door! Gorgeous!

    Kristin at My Uncommon Slice Of Suburbia put a window and a drawer together to make a wonderful planter. A marriage made in the tool shed.

    And Kathy at Petticoat Junktion (my favorite blog name, by the way) made some fun and funky refrigerator magnets out of some rusty junk pieces. Uncle Joe would be proud!

      All these ideas are great. I love the gum ball machine with the winter scene.
      Happy Wednesday Pam.

      I wish I could bring all of y'all with me when I go to Goodwill.
