50 DIY HIGH END HOME DECOR THRIFTED DUPES

[@rockreader4298]

For those that want to stain any wood board and still use it for food, a paste-like consistency of instant coffee and water, makes a safe stain (& keeps spiders away). I added instant coffee to paint for a room in my house and didn't see a spider in there for a dozen years. : ) A happy surprise.

Great tip! Thank you!

Wow.good to know 😮

[@corliss825]

You have some great redos. Very high end.

[@madzabinga8382]

Holy crap. You're a total genious! These are makeovers most of us wouldn't even know where to start with. I am amazed by your thrifty and talented brain.

[@JenneferLailp]

This is an absolute gem for budget-conscious decorators. The creative ideas and step-by-step instructions make it easy to achieve a luxurious look for less, while the presenter's enthusiasm keeps you engaged throughout. A must-watch for anyone looking to elevate their home's aesthetic on a dime!

[@kellycasperhanson4426]

👌These are excellent examples of thrift store item restyling. Too many KZbinrs are stuck on spray painting mason jars and gluing plastic plants to cheap wall fans. Your items are actually beautiful, classy, and current!

[@victorialove9104]

Yes please continue the series. I love all of the items you presented but the big desk you took back to the natural wood color is my favorite. ❤

[@doanetriggs5563]

You are enormously talented and bring DIYs to a whole new level. Nothing that you do or suggest looks like “loving hands at home:”. Thank you for sharing your stunning creations, they certainly inspire and enable.

[@md4211]

I couldn't agree more.. I always wait for her videos!

[@sandiwhite5453]

You are such an inspiration, love everything you duped. For someone who doesn't have any of the high end stores around, it's great to have someone show us what's out there, and how we can achieve the look.

[@tenny1958]

i have to say the lazy susan tray with the gold handles is STUNNING. i am blown away ,

[@terrim2498]

The ONLY thing I don’t love about your channel is that you don’t put out a new video EVERYDAY! I never tire of watching the clever, beautiful ideas you creat. Bravo!

[@Maggie-kp5fw]

I am so shook by this woman. You have a gift.

[@ramonacerniglia8495]

This is the best DIY PRESENTATION KZbin. Thank you now that I’m retired I could use these smart decorating ideas

[@Chai4mom]

wow, that first vase is beautiful. Great idea to mix the mortar and paint to apply.

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

Thanks so much 😊

[@conniepleasantnails]

The vase with the lamp shade and puck light is the most clever thing ever…great job. ❤😊

[@lisalegrand4743]

Wow so jealous of your thrift store prices and selections. Everything turned out great!

[@t.annebowden4606]

Right? I have NEVER seen anything, no matter what the item was, for a couple of dollars let alone fifty cents. The thrift stores near me (Salvation Army and Goodwill) are almost as expensive as buying new. CRAZY!

[@florencelacy4190]

I ❤ your channel. You are so clever. I definitely look at things differently. I live in the SFO Bay Area, and our thrift store prices are outrageous, but I try to have a coupon. I appreciate you giving the names of all the paint and glue ❤❤❤❤

[@stacyyuttgtgcbuschman7848]

Exactly! I never see anything close in price or style!! Would love to come across something like that!

[@coreynmorrison]

Your Olive Wreath looked better than the expensive one!! 😊

[@shannonlynch4598]

I started with you exactly a year ago. I didn't know this was a series I thought this is what you do. And you do it better then anyone on you tube Your vision is spot on with the inspo. Please keep doing this type of videos. Even though it's not my decor style bc I suck at finding a theme I love. I guess I love every style. But your home is gorg

[@alisonsmith7162]

Nick Lewis has great videos on this.

[@oldschooldesign528]

Thank you for including the Inspo so we can see the cost at retail and how you saved a lot by giving new life to your thrift finds! Great job!

[@TheRedbone0165]

I just happened to run upon your channel tonight and let’s just say I am BLOWN AWAY by ALL your dupes! I LOVE each and every one of them!! They all were so great that I couldn’t choose one over the others. Thank you SO much for sharing your techniques!

[@mommygarcia9137]

Wow Sophia ! Not everyone has your creativity & talent referring to me to take a vase & turn it into a gorgeous high end piece !!

[@lesleytungate2629]

I’m an ocean away, and all I feel is love for you. I love to see you being happy and healthy. England loves you xx

[@veebeetwo]

First time viewer and I love your style, your vision, and your ability to find these thrifted items! I only wish I had thrift stores in my area that had prices like yours!

[@pamhouglan4710]

Glad to see you used the fresh eucalyptus! Fresh beats fake- every day!!!

[@EmpressSolstice]

The first piece was and still is my favorite. It looks so high end with just a few touches. Mortar mix, who knew??

[@tashagervais8733]

Awesome projects! FYI the "cutting board" around the 16:30 mark is actually a pizza peel. The tapered edge allows you to slide pizzas into the oven. 👍🏻

[@sandyduncan6167]

Thank you for telling her its a pizza peel and not a cutting board. That was driving me nutz.

[@lahaza6515]

GIRL! My gosh that desk was SO impressive! I love your hardware choice. The thing that thrills me even more is that it's MADE WELL... You will never in a million years find anything made for under a couple of thousand dollars that's made well at this point, and even then (as in the case with McGee & co) the quality will never match up to something made pre 1999. It's right around that time, when internet became so powerful & mass production went into full swing; that everything became crappy despite price tag. Nothing I love to see more than someone doing a better job at the McGee & Co aesthetic & not giving those people your money. For what they charge, you'd think they'd have the conscious to make quality product, but if you look at the reviews (not on their website obviously) there's nothing but disappointed customers who cannot believe what they received vs the price tag. I feel almost guilty saying such negative things about a company, but considering their popularity; the least one should expect is a quality build. Great video, totally inspiring!

[@Holli_Sassafras]

I usually don’t watch long videos but I enjoyed every minute of this one!

[@maryrabanales9699]

It's a total lifesaver for those of us craving a stylish home on a budget. The dupes are seriously impressive - who knew thrifted finds could look so expensive? It's like a treasure trove of affordable decor ideas that finally make luxe home styling accessible to us regular folks!

[@StuGo1013]

It's difficult to choose a favorite. All your ideas and projects are just gorgeous! I will now have a different perspective when I go to a thrift store. Thank you for sharing your creativity!

[@jeribondarcuri7884]

I love that heavy floor lamp, but you are always able to do amazing dupes. This gives such great inspiration!

[@happyx2]

I know I'm late to the party, but I just discovered your channel yesterday, and I couldn't stop watching! Almost everything you found thrifted was a project I would love to do, and I don't even like crafts! Thank you for the inspiration! 😊

[@susanstyler4866]

Hi Fia, this is my first video on your channel & I can’t wait to see more in the series. You have a great eye for thrifting for dupes & the creativity to make high end looking pieces. Loved so many items but especially the first vase, the vintage desk and the wreaths. You’re phenomenal!

[@fitnesson-callnaples9960]

My first video! I love DIY projects on here. First time with her!

[@jackiehenry4033]

I loved this compilation video! The white basket that looks like a treasure chest is my favorite. Adding the gold knob really makes it look high end, and I love that you can put stuff inside to hide the clutter. Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@rachellebourque2168]

I'm amazed at some of these channels like yours who have such wonderful thrift stores. Here in New iberia, la...there isn't crap!😢 you make me want to do much more traveling for good thrift stores. I absolutely love your channel by the way...its one of my favorites!!!😊

[@arnesia557]

New subbie! LOVED EVERYTHING!!

[@christinaheagy4602]

On the laundry basket you may be able to help secure the wheels with zip ties. On the stained lid, instead of remaking the whole cover, find an acceptable fabric, either a match or a print or solid in colors that you like or maybe a ticking fabric, and cover over the stained part and put a matching strip on the opposite side to make it appear like it is intentional.

[@SoulfulVeg]

These were so amazing. I usually don't like thrift hauls, but the execution on these looks was so great. Thanks.

[@MaryColby-l7s]

You have in an excellent eye for proportion and style.. best production I have seen in sometime. Most enjoyable!

[@katieswonders8249]

I smiled when I saw the "Polska" book in your possession. That's where I'm typing from.

[@carolynratliff1380]

I have a lamp like that floor lamp….it took a wire base with a big white globe that rested on it….they always break so that is why the globes are very scarce….good luck …..I turned mine into a coat rack because it was so nice and sturdy….think about it…just add three big metal hooks with a round piece of wood in the middle to add hats on….hugs carolyn from Columbus Ga

[@katethegardener]

Wow Wow and WOW! You are my favourite DIYer ever! I want to make everything you have made. You are so inspiring and I am so grateful being on a budget that I can have some new things at a fraction of the price!

0:49 hi fia. Every week I look forward to your channel. Your videos give me so much inspiration. Your all I talk about to my family. Every decor I do. In my home is because of you. I thought years ago I knew how to decorate. Or when I go into a thrift store what to look for. What I need. But you made me realize and see all the treasures I can find and flip them and save money. I love your creations. To our are a fantastic person. Thank you for helping me turn my house beautiful. Keep doing your video thrift. .

For the bells if you don’t have antique wax, I use brown, or black men’s shoe polish… it works great. 👍🏼💕

[@Jane-ow5lj]

Floor lamp is stunning!

[@brendanbang6636]

Hi Fia, love the compilation. I’m amazed at the pricing that you find. The olive and autumn wreaths are my fav. However that vintage desk… 6 hrs of sanding well done. Stunning finish piece $$$.

[@lynngehringer1073]

W0W your Thrift Stores sure have some of the best prices I've ever heard of. Congratulations! Every item you transformed I loved. (except for the Pumpkin)

[@debbiekennedy6030]

I loved your pumpkin pillow dupe, but I'm sorry to say, I was in Dollar Tree today and they had one pretty much the same in the new $3, $5 area. It's $5. Bad news for the high end version. Yous was great, and a good way of repurposing old clothing.

[@manamichan100]

The pumpkin was amazing are you insane ?

[@portuguesehydrangea4818]

You have a good eye! Everything you find becomes a treasure!

This video is a lifesaver for those of us on a budget. The host's innovative ideas and step-by-step instructions make it seem like anyone can have a luxurious-looking home without spending a fortune. It's a must-watch for anyone looking to transform their space into a stylish haven without breaking the bank.

[@Dbree24]

The purple vase that was painted white was just stunning. The bells were fantastic. I also love how you did the round tray with the white over the existing silver.

[@patkern185]

This video just popped up in my feed, Fia, and I'm over the moon in love with your projects! I've always been a bit apprehensive about DIY projects but you've inspired me to give a few a try. I wish my area thrift stores had more interesting pieces but I know I have a few things in my home that I can rework. Thank you so much for sharing your gift. You have a new loyal subscriber. Now excuse me while I binge watch your videos. 😂 XXOO ❤

[@lisamarieanne1974]

This was the first video I watched of yours. I’m hooked for sure. I’m a carpenter’s daughter and I’ve always helped build houses with my dad and done diy projects. I love thrifting. I’m in the process of moving to a small 1br home and I’m changing my design style completely. I’ll be purging a lifetime of junk and this is my chance to organize everything. I live on a fixed income and your videos are amazing especially for someone in my situation!! Thanks so much!!😊

[@jackiestowe6987]

I bought a five compartment laundry hamper. I used the fabric with French words on it and sewed it myself. It looks perfect in my laundry room and everything is already sorted for me on laundry day. It’s all done with things from my travels. All done in gold burgundy and black. It looks stunning.

That desk really looks so different love it specially the hardware.
