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.

Also on OSH!  Best Thrift Store Decor of 2019

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
  • Over 150 Thrifty Christmas Decor Ideas
  • Over 150 Thrifty Christmas Gift Ideas

Be sure to read all the way to the end where you will find thumbnails to the HUGE collection of ideas. Just click the little photo or the text underneath to visit that project.

DON'T FORGET TO PIN!

Here are my favorites from this year's collection of Upcycled Decor Ideas!

2020 Favorite Decor Upcycles

Favorites from the Thrift Store Decor Team from 2020!

TV Console Makeover

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!

Stoneware Crock Makeover

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.

Also on OSH!  Simple Toile Pillow

Santos Angel Makeover

This angel was beautiful regardless, but the new white look with subtle gold accents works so much better with my decor.

DIY Painted College Sign

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))

Chest of Drawers Makeover

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.

Paint Old Picture Frames

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.

How To Create A Driftwood Finish

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.

Rustic Birch Bark Vase DIY

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!

Thrift Shopping for Botanical Decor or Garden-Inspired Decor

Old windows have so many uses! One of my favorites is to turn those into wall art!

Thrift Store Tropical Tray

I use trays all the time in our home. They are great for creating vignettes!

CHRISTY LITTLE
Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!

I’m sharing my favorite carol on the blog along with our nativity and angels through the years going all the way back to 2012! Did you catch the Christmas Star last night? ⭐️ We missed it, but I think you can see it again tonight.
