Decorate on a budget with these creative 100 Upcycled Decor ideas from our best of 2020 featuring the Thrift Store Decor Team!
100 Upcycled Decor Ideas
For quite a few years now, I've been a member of this amazing thrift store decor team. I am an original member from when my dear friend, Kathy, from Petticoat Junktion started it all those years ago.
I'm regularly amazed by the creativity that this group cranks out. I'll be the first to admit that my creations are pretty simple usually requiring minimal work typically involving paint.
Many in the group are uber-creative breaking out the power tools and such to totally transform other's trash to turn it into treasure.
That's the beauty of creating your home decor. You don't have to be crazily skilled to decorate your home on a shoestring budget.
For years now, I have decorated our home with a mix of high-end, big-box stores, online deals, antiques, vintage, and thrift store makeovers.
My style has evolved through the years, but I can safely say that I think I have come into my own. I like to refer to my style these days as…..
Eclectic Classic Style
It's easy to fall into the trends and look like everyone else on Instagram.
You have to learn to love what you love. Does that make sense?
I love a classic farmhouse look, but with classic styling. I want a collected look that feels authentic. I toss in lots of classic and traditional style along with that in terms of blue and white porcelain, toile fabrics, oriental rugs, and more to achieve the look that I love. It's a little bit French country, a little bit of traditional farmhouse.
Thrift store items are a great way for me to add in lots of the eclectic part. Y'all, spray paint can be your best friend.
Each December, the team doesn't create a new project for our monthly share. Instead, we bring you a Best Of post featuring our thrifty makeovers for that year.
This year we have 100 Upcycled Decor Ideas that will hopefully inspire you to create in the new year.
We compiled a couple of other fun upcycled decor ideas roundups from our archives for you this year!
- Over 100 Thrifty Fall Decor Ideas

2020 Favorite Decor Upcycles
Favorites from the Thrift Store Decor Team from 2020!
This is one of my personal favorites from the blog. I haven't done a lot of furniture makeovers recently, and this was fun to do. I love the price and how it turned out. The stained top is my favorite part!
The spray paint used in this post is my favorite for any project that involves painting a ceramic or porcelain. The finish is amazing and durable. Hard to believe this used to be red! It's front and center in the kitchen now.
This angel was beautiful regardless, but the new white look with subtle gold accents works so much better with my decor.
One of the favorites that I didn't even do for the blog! My daughter and her boyfriend completed this sign over the summer for her college apartment (that she isn't even living in.....covid....classes online so she stayed home, but still have to pay for the apartment....insert eye roll))
I love furniture makeovers and adore how this one turned out! You don't even have to go to the thrift store for this. Maybe you have a piece that you already own crying for a little paint.
Picture frames are plentiful at the thrift store. They make an amazing makeover! This one really turned out great and so versatile in creating a look to go with your home.
A driftwood finish is not just for coastal decor. It works with so many styles. This finish is absolutely lovely on these candlesticks but would work on furniture and mirrors as well.
Anything with flowers is a positive to me. They can instantly elevate a room and your mood. Add a bit of a birch bark look and you've got a winner!
Old windows have so many uses! One of my favorites is to turn those into wall art!
I use trays all the time in our home. They are great for creating vignettes!
