How to Revamp and Style Your Thrift Shop Finds

March 20, 2016 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Today I am sharing how to revamp and style your thrift shop finds.  Last week I shared with you the corner cabinet I found at the consignment shop.  It was in pretty good shape when I found it but it still needed a little revamp.

I think the easiest way to update any thrifted find is with paint.  It is a quick and inexpensive way to completely change the look of a piece or just a way to freshen it up.

I wanted to freshen up the corner cabinet by spraying it with a bright white paint to match the other bookshelves in my Home Office. Here is a reminder of the piece before I sprayed it.

I think this piece is adorable, it is small with really cute detailing.

To add more height to the cabinet, I added a few tall vases to draw your eye upward. I found the wooden vases at Target.  I wanted to add wood tones to break up some of the white. I also added touches of gold to tie into the rest of the gold scattered throughout the office.

I was finally able to use my HomeRight Finish Max Sprayer that the Gman bought me for Christmas and I am in love with it! It was super easy to use.  The most difficult part was getting the consistency of the paint correct and even that was pretty simple.  I was so excited to get started even though it clearly states in the directions to practice spraying on scrap wood but I jumped right in and started spraying my cabinet.  My biggest regret is not being able to use the HomeRight Finish Max Sprayer sooner.  I was able to spray the entire piece within minutes and the finish is so pretty.  Now that we are moving into Spring, I am super excited to be able to spray more pieces!

I picked up the little mouse votive in a little boutique shop in a small town not too far from us. Even though mice freak me out, I thought this little guy was sweet!

The next time you are out and see a piece that needs some love, remember the power of paint!

Until Next Time…
