Thrift Store Makeover Ideas | Budget Home Decor Projects

[@sueburleson9642]

Thank you Cindy..I am so tired of people complaining about how the creators create. I don't understand. Everyone has their own style. Thats what makes it fun to watch many different creators. You keep doing you.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I completely agree! We all like different styles. We are all unique and that keeps it intereesting :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@patriciagoodson1305]

Hi, 66 yr old retired widow from SC, love all you do ❣️ Thank You for sharing ❣️

[@ReinventedDelaware]

@@patriciagoodson1305 Thanks so much! 🥰

[@patriciagoodson1305]

I'm with you on moving from one project to another ❣️ I have at least 5 different projects going on now myself 😂 ❣️

[@SparksofJoyStudio]

Very well said Sue! ❤

[@TerriNeville]

The kitchen utensil is a potato masher! I’m glad someone else works on the floor. Thanks for sharing theses great ideas! Terri

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks for the info. As for the floor, I’m hoping to get another table soon!🤣

[@lauraspleen6046]

The other utensil looks like a part from a mortar and pestle to crush herbs...make sense to go with the meat mallet

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Omgoodness, of course!! I did not even think of that! Now to find a bowl to go with it!😀

[@lisacrafton7485]

Love the white tray with the painted fruits.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Me too!! 😊

[@donnaplumridge9769]

Absolutely love the white tray with the blue flowers and pears! Turned out beautifully! Without a doubt was my favourite project!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks so much Donna! It turned out better than I expected 😊

[@Funshine4u]

We use the bulb like kitchen tool as a pestel to push our berries through siv and cheese cloth. I love all of these projects!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Great idea! I will keep that in mind. I used it to crushed garlic in a small wooden bowl the other day. It wielded great! Thanks for your kind words😊

[@Bobketchup]

I love them all! But my fav is the tray with the painted pears!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Aren't they the cutest?? They would look good in some many colors too. I'm thinkng gold and silver and turn thme into Christmas ornaments! Hopefully I will remember to do that🤣

[@deemanolaros6036]

Love your work! Can't please everyone, you do you! ❤

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thank you so much!😊

[@terestarr4598]

My hubby and I worked a lot with different woods and furniture. We refinished a Hoosier cabinet that was made with Popler wood. Your little wooden bowl appears to be the same type of wood. Popler wood varies in color and when stained makes a beautiful piece.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks! Maybe I should stain it. I have a plan to hang it in my kitchen. I will try to post a pic in my communtiy post in the coming weeks 😊

[@candacejordan2643]

I like the tray with the transfer on it. I bought a similar one at Goodwill today only it’s larger and no holes for the handles paid $2.40 for it. Going to do something similar to it. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

That's awesome that you just found one of these trays! Have fun giving it a refresh!

[@diannerempel8262]

I really love the wood bowl, cutting boards and utensils you redid. The try with the transfer was beautiful! I also jump from project to project, so have no problem watching you do the same.😊

[@ReinventedDelaware]

The wood items turned out better than I expected. And they were easy makeovers that only cost a couple of bucks each. Thanks for watching 😊

[@laurenmitchell1204]

I like the painted fruit! I’ve never seen anyone paint those before and you can find them thrifting a lot and I didn’t think there was anything to be done to save them.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I agree, the fruit looks amazing! I can alwasy paint them again for a holiday too. I'm thinking at Christmas to make them look gilded or sparkly 😀

[@vickiulrich6694]

The fruit you painted is referred to as sugared fruit. I have some and now I know what I can do with it to blend it in with my sunflower dining room! I liked all your projects and like you I wouldn’t be able to choose just one. I guess it’s like choosing a favorite child! I watch to see different ways to upscale things and whether I like it or not I always get ideas from your makeovers. And I do love the visits!!!:):):)

[@ReinventedDelaware]

@@vickiulrich6694 Your fruit will look amazing! I'm so glad you find inspiration here. Taking the ideas and turning them into your own creation is just what I hope for! Stay creative and thanks for watching 😊

[@shellydehart8217]

You found some cool things to makeover. I liked the small riser you did n adding those handles made it nice looking. Your other riser I really liked extra. I do like transfers on certain things n the one you picked for this riser was perfect, the color n all coordinates so well. I do love transfers with different types of leaves . So you won my heart on that. Haha. The wooden piece you weren’t sure about is masher or you could beat your chicken or beef with it hahaha. It’s for mashing fruits or certain veggies even pills if you like. It looks like a set with your meat tenderizer. Enjoyed the video Cindy. Once again I liked your goodies you found thrifty. ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks for the info about the kitchen utensil. I had to chuckly when you said to beat the chicken or beef with it! haha! Thanks for the smile your comment brought Shelly !🥰

[@CarmenRodriguez-fu7xs]

All of them are beautiful

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks Carmen!

[@amandakizer4718]

Love them all but the fruit is amazing

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Didn't it turn out amazing?? I want to paint more!

[@shelly1224]

I love how you made these thrift finds. I love that everyone does something different on their channels. We can all look at the same object and all come up with a different end look. Just like these comments all have different ideas on that utensil. It could be used for everyone of those uses.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I agree with you Shelly! The variety of ideas and styles is inspiring! Thanks for watching 😊

[@elainereynolds7701]

I Absolutely LOVE this Video...

[@donnamcl6134]

I loved them all too! Thank you for the free printables!! So sweet of you to do that.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Yay!! I'm so glad you enjoy the printables Donna! Thanks for joining me over on my blog. Your support means so much to my small business 🥰

[@crmassage89]

The board you washed....would make a good rustic hanging pumpkin for fall decorated with some raffia and greens at the top and maybe even a face on it

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Omgoodness yes it would!! What a great idea! I might have to do that when fall comes🎃

[@stevenrust561]

I saw that table at the end of the video. I don’t think we’ve seen that before. It looked nice with the veggies and plates on it.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

That table at the end of the video is my new craft table!! My sweet hubby made it for me and I forgot to mention it!

[@fridaemilsson8868]

I liked the blue fruits with the tray 😊

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Me too! They looks so cute together!

[@bonniepillarelli6483]

I really like the fruit bowl. I even ordered the rub on you used. First time watcher and I signed up for your KZbin and FB page. Great ideas. Thanks.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Hi Bonnie! Thanks so much for watching and thanks for signing up. I hope you enjoy our new Facebook group. Thanks again and have a great day 😊

[@brendaromero4376]

My fav is the tray.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Trays are so much fun to makeover!

[@nangel270]

I’m impressed you can sit on the floor and work. My back would not allow that and I wouldn’t be able to get up! I agree that you should do what you want -everyone has a different idea of what beauty is. Love your projects and instruction.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Ha ha 🤣 I did have to do some stretches when I got up from the floor! Plus I do yoga stretches most mornings to try to stay limber. That’s getting harder as I age 😊 have a great day!

[@JoyceFrye-vx3nl]

Yes, it’s a masher, potato, tomatoes, vegetables in general. I had one at one time, years ago.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Good to know!😊

[@vickyzak-px2lp]

I love it all! Transfers add so much!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

So glad you enjoyed watching Vicky!

[@suzanneevans5942]

I have been thinking about starting a small business lately. I am an older gal, but have been remaking furniture peices for my own home. Everything thrifted. Thanks for sharing.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Go for it Suzanne! I am an older gall too😊 I started my vendor booth in my fifties and I really enjoyed it. The only reason I lifer it was because my blog and my KZbin channel took over. Find a place that you rent month by month. That way if you don’t like it, you can easily stop😊

Everything looks so beautiful I ilovet thanks.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thank you! 🤗 I’m glad you enjoyed the projects!

[@amandapittar9398]

Those implements are both meat mallets. One for tenderizing, one for pounding. We don’t need to pound anymore as we have lots of handy dandy appliances.😊 “Finagling” my word for the week!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks for your input! I love your word for the week😊

[@sophiaskrzypczak4265]

In my native Poland it would be called a potato masher to make...well - mashed potatos

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Next time I make mashed potatoes, I'm going to use it! Thanks!

[@maryredmiles5492]

Extremely clever and adorable makeovers. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

You are so welcome Mary! Thanks for your kind words 🥰

[@Martbez1]

I have a "thing" for wood, so my favourite is the wooden fruit bowl. But I also love the painted fruit.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I love wood too. The Wax it All works great on wood😊

[@wandamcgiboney5141]

I have that paint in that color ,it’s awesome .

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks Wanda! It's a gorgeous color!🥰

[@jobianchi2760]

Creative use for the sugared fruit. I did not think I was going to like that at all, but the completed tray and fruit was gorgeous!

[@debrabell2604]

I feel the same I love them all the dish with the fruit is really cute.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thank you 😋I’m ready to paint more fruit!

[@sarahrenfrow9795]

Cindy, I apparently can’t project jump, as I have several unfinished pieces. Maybe if I continue to watch you I will get the knack of doing that. I have seen those wooden bread(?) trays and always pass on them. After seeing what you did with yours, I may pick up the next one I see! I really like how you covered the open handles with the hardware pulls. Thanks for sharing

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I understand about not finishing projects. But for the most part I’m a project jumper because I am impatient! 🤣 I hope you find one of the trays so you can make it over. Can’t wait to see what you do with yours 😊

[@jessicaf2376]

Love all the crafts you made. Im now a subscriber to your channel. Glad I found your channel to watch wirh all the other crafters. Thanks for sharing.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thank you so much!

[@elpizarro7029]

The meat masher is a set with the round thing is a meat pusher for the meat grinder tool to push down on it !

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Omgoodness, I never thought of that!! Thanks for the info!😊

[@dorisbuckner]

I love the tray with the fruits, all were great, but that’s my favorite 🌹

[@ReinventedDelaware]

It turned out prettier than I expected 😊

[@Skylarkhouse]

Great projects Cindy! The transfer on the tray is fabulous!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I think so too Anna! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@PoetiqueMs]

Hi Cindy, I know you will know the answer to my question. I am going to paint an old milk can and apply the Magnolia transfer. My question is whether or not I can paint the can black. Will the transfer look the same if it's not on white paint? These all turned out so pretty! Even the little unusual hollowed out cutting had a very attractive primative vibe!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Hi! The transfer will look different on black paint.I have seen transfers on black paint and it is a gorgeous look. The transfer are transparent so keep that in mind Search on Pinterest to get an idea of what it will look like. That should give you an idea! Hope this helps! 🥰

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

I quite like the blue fruit in the tray. Very elegant looking!

The wood knob tool could also be a pestal for spices.😊

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I think you are right Peggy! I used it to crush garlic the other night for my recipe recipe 😊

[@JoyceFrye-vx3nl]

New follower, I’m loving your work. And that little cutting board, I loved it before you put the white on it, and after it was removed. I just like that old looking, faded wood.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I like it much better without the white wash to Joyce! Thanks for joining me here 😊

First time watching one of your make over video's, and I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I couldn't pick a favourite as I quite liked all of them, they all turned out beautifully. Well done. 🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾💖

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thank you so much! Your kind words put a smile on my face 😊

[@quiltednestvintage6347]

I'm actually not a transfer lover. Not that they don't make an item pretty - they do! But they're pretty taste, era and space specific afterward and that doesn't work for me... at least for the monies spent. But... you did great with everything. The wood items with that wax turned out beautiful!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I get it about the cost of transfers and them being so specific. Thanks for your input and for watching! ☺️

[@gln9068]

Maybe the o'other' utensil with the Meat Mallet, is a Potato Pestle, for mashed spuds? :)

[@ReinventedDelaware]

It could definitely work for that!🥔

[@leahrivka]

The cutting board with the two types of wood, you could try oxalic acid to get a more uniform tone.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks! I will look into that😊

[@rebeccamorgan8981]

Definitely looks like a pestle. I'd say it goes in the kitchen 😊

[@ReinventedDelaware]

It's in the kitchen waiting for some herbs! Thanks for your input Rebecca!😊

[@mrandarenee]

It is a mortor for spices. Meat mallet and mortor. They normally come with a bowl.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I just used the round kitchen tool to crush garlic and it worked great!

[@juliechapa6823]

The companion to that meat mallet looks like what my aunts in Mex used to mash the chocolate cubes to make us hot chocolate but those also had two wood ring and they would hold and quickly shake between both hands 🤷‍♀️

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Wow, I've never heard of that! Thanks for the info!😊

[@differentperspective4124]

That is a pestle for crushing stuff in a mortar, like when you make pesto

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Of course!! Now I just need the bowl to go with it. Just another reason to go thrifting!😀

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks! I'm so glad you found my channel. I hope you find inspiration here!

[@cynthiabriscoe1958]

you are right! it belongs in your sewing box. it is to darn socks, or small holes, my grandmom used one.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks for your input!. I have a darning tool that belonged to my hubbies grandma and it looks similar 😊

[@melodydodge7498]

I thought maybe the tool was a berry masher for when you make jam. I just watched your video, and subscribed, Thank you!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

You are the first person to suggest that! Thanks for your input and for subscribing 😊

[@maggieredmond6629]

I love it

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks Maggie!😊

[@heatherkoch1644]

The utensil that goes with the meat mallet is for crushing, much like a pestle and mortar.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks Heather!😊

[@isabelgomez9147]

😊it's a hot chocolate mixer u place the handle between ur plays and churn my mom had some

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Now that make me want a cup of hot chocolate! ☕️

[@sarahcelt8282]

Not sure but the tool with a rounded end makes me think of what Gram used to push cooked apples thru a seive to make apple sauce.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

You are probably right! So many tools had many uses back in the day!😊

[@deborahsewell202]

The round one is for crushing herbs

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks Deborah!😊

[@valorwoman8747]

FILL that space/crack even now on your first little tray . Then paint again. Keep me up at night leaving that disconnect!!!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Those little things bother me too! Thanks for watching!

[@gailbrown8710]

Great makeovers!💖

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Glad you like them Gail! 🥰

[@JoyceFrye-vx3nl]

I love using transfers! I’ve been working on a couple of projects today. I wonder, do you apply a sealer before you apply the transfer?

[@terriashby5752]

The wooden tool is a potato masher. The tools you’ve seen that look like darning mushrooms with long handles are also mashers.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I can't wait to make mashed potatoes now!! 😊

[@sunnycadwallader2873]

I think it may be a plunger for a grinder that attaches to a kitchen side mixer

[@ReinventedDelaware]

That could be! My old Kitchen Aid has a similar wood plunger. Thanks for your input!

[@Kimmelbee1]

Have you done anything with the finds you got at the thrift stores in Williamsburg Virginia over the summer? if so, do you have links for those videos? I tried to keep an eye out, but I haven't seen anything. Wondered if I just missed it. That little bowl with the fruit is adorable. I would never have thought to paint that fruit.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

So glad you enjoyed this video! I did makeover some of those items from my Williamsburg trip. It’s hard to keep up with all of my videos! Thanks for asking! Thrift Store Makeovers | Budget Friendly Home Decor kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJXUeGZobtyUac0

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks so much for your kind words! I love the old kitchen tools too 😊

[@beckyfrazier5929]

Is the wooden tool a pestle? And may you could put some faux grain in the bald spot in the cutting board.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Lots of people think its a pestle so that's what I'm going with!! Thanks for your input 😊

[@SparksofJoyStudio]

Hi! New subscriber from another Delawarean!! Where are you in DE. I’m in Hockessin

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Yay!! Another Delawarean!! Welcome! We are in the lower end of the state! I will check out your channel🥰

[@JeannieMitchellMyers]

Utensils, one is a meat tenderier, the other I believe is a vintage potato masher.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks! We've been having quite the conversation in comments about the round-shaped tool! I used it to crush garlic recently :)

[@JeannieMitchellMyers]

@@ReinventedDelaware It was fun reading the comments. Loved your video, thanks!

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

Many people have said that implement is a pestle. However, pestles are usually made with stone or marble. Wood is much too soft to crush spices and herbs adequately. that being said, I couldn't tell you what it is.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

That's true - I've seen mortal and pestle sets made from stone or granite. Thanks for your input!😊

[@kimberleychristman9985]

The kitchen tools are maybe a set of hand grinder that’s missing the bowl???

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I think you are right!😊

[@rebeccaburke4348]

White cutting board looks like a pumpkin to me.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Of course!! You have a great eye!

[@gailsackett3355]

I could see a pumpkin in the cutting board that you white washed.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Omgoodness, I see that now too!! Thanks so much! 🎃

[@joycemadden3613]

It’s a mallet for herbs!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I think you are right! Thanks😊

[@gwendolynczaplinski4089]

Sock darner or part of mortar and pestle??

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Your guess is as good as mine! I thought sock darner first but I'm not sure! I might use it as a pestle with a wooden bowl I have. 😊

Muddling what you need

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Tahnks for your input!

[@margaretdillinger5090]

To me that wood piece with the handle the wood looks damaged, like it was put into water and sat to long. I need to get wax you used. I’ve been wanting a food safe wax for a good while. I was in Michaels looking for a paste wax for chalk painted pieces, the child had no idea what I was looking for. You know like a paste car wax, what? I know there is recipe to make dark wax or white wax, I’d rather buy it.😂😂😂😂.😊❤

[@ReinventedDelaware]

You might be right about that little wood piece. The wood was so weird! That's too bad about the girl not knowing what you were looking for! I like to buy wax specifically for chalk paint. You will love the Wax it All product. It's great on cutting boards! Thanks for watching and commenting Margaret :)

[@chrischapman8010]

Could it be a egg for darning socks?

[@ReinventedDelaware]

That’s a possibility! I decided to use it in the kitchen. Recently I used it to crush garlic and it worked great. 😊 Thanks for your input!

[@lindagarrido1]

It is a kitchen tool. It is for mashing and smashing food, spices, nuts etc.

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Thanks for the info! I used it to crush garlic the other day and it worked great!

[@lindamcneely5543]

That cutting board looks to me like someone filled it with wood putty ,maybe you could stencil the inside.

To crush herbs

[@ReinventedDelaware]
