Greetings, friends!
This past week, I was a part of a very fun event where 10 of us flipped some thrift store finds… and here’s mine!
TV stand dresser makeover with wood strip drawers
Rustic TV stand dresser makeover with easy wood strip drawers
My bedroom TV dresser needed a redo… but I couldn’t remove the paint off the drawers! So I got the brainstorm to cover the drawers with wood strips and yardsticks instead, flipping this into quite the upcycled statement piece! I just ADORE the look, and it just couldn’t be easier to copy when you see how I did it!
See all 10 thrift store makeovers by starting HERE!
This post also includes 9 other thrift store upcycle linkups, so I hope you scroll down to check them all out!
Next week, I hope to share a super cool makeover I made with a globe… it turned out SO cool and works perfectly in my new funky little office space with the ladder shelf!
On with the party! What have you upcycled lately, creative friends? Link it up! To start things off, here’s some fabulous upcycled project features from the last week’s party…

DIY fairy door, medieval style on a tree stump
Medieval fairy door on a tree stump by A Crafty Mix
Whenever I hit my local trails, I love the thrill of the hunt to find the new fairy door that always seems to land on this one particular tree. This Medieval fairy door takes it to an all new level! Wow, I mean, hand crafted from top to bottom with the most charming shape certainly makes this fairy door quite the head turner! And I have the perfect stump for one too! Hmm…
Pansy wreath made from soda cans

Can you even believe this lovely flower wreath is made from soda cans?! SO creative! It would look so sweet in a window or on a door…
Year-around faux cookie house
Fake bake cookie house by Studio 27 By Jennifer Adams
We’ve all heard of gingerbread houses and Christmas villages, however Jennifer flipped some gingerbread house cutters into a fake-bake cookie house for year around! How fun!! Imagine making a house that could be dressed up each season of the year… that’s exactly what this could be!
How to upholster a wooden stool, vintage-style
Upholstered wooden stool with vintage fabric by Little Vintage Cottage
Next time you come across a little wooden stool, here’s what it CAN become by simply upholstering it with some vintage fabric! The look is completely different! And the technique sounds quite easy and straightforward! This same treatment could also be used on a bench, ottoman, chair and more!
