    Thrift Store Flip: Mini Screen Door

    4:10 AM - By 

    Here at Roost and Restore I love to show peo­ple how they can dec­o­rate their homes resource­ful­ly. A lot of the times that means tak­ing some­thing from a thrift store and giv­ing it a fresh makeover so it will fit your own per­son­al style. This thrift store flip is no exception! You just might be sur­prised how far a lit­tle paint and cre­ativ­i­ty can go when dec­o­rat­ing your home. It’s all about using the resources you have to dec­o­rate. It’s that simple.

    Soap Pump Makeover

    1:58 AM - By 

    We recent­ly opened up our new home decor shoppe and I knew after open­ing week­end that I would need a cute way to pro­vide hand san­i­tiz­er at the check­out. That is when I thought of this soap pump makeover! I found the cutest glass soap pump for $1 with a hob­nail pat­tern that I could­n’t resist. A quick clean­ing and a lit­tle paint and this makeover was fin­ished and ready for the check­out counter.

    When I picked up this lit­tle $3 ceram­ic Christ­mas horse at a local thrift store last week, I knew right away I want­ed to try to recre­ate a beau­ti­ful Euro­pean Farm­house Christ­mas inspired piece! This dat­ed horse had great tex­ture and the details were per­fect for what I had in mind for trans­form­ing this lit­tle gem. With a price tag of only $3 I knew I need­ed to bring it back to the shoppe for a lit­tle makeover. My secret weapon...Rub N’ Buff! This stuff is so pig­ment­ed and mag­i­cal when it comes to trans­form­ing some­thing basic like this lit­tle…

    Easy Tart Pan Makeover from the Thrift Store

    4:27 PM - By 

    Every week I try to take some time to myself and do a lit­tle bit of craft­ing and DIY’ing. This week I decid­ed to share this adorable tart pan makeover. Not only was the process was incred­i­bly sim­ple but also incred­i­bly affordable.  It all began with a quick trip to the thrift store last week. That’s when I came across a beau­ti­ful glass cake top­per and scooped it up. There was no base but I thought it would still be beau­ti­ful on a plate, that was until I turned the cor­ner and found this amaz­ing lit­tle tart pan. It was a…

    So every Mon­day for the last sev­er­al months I have been shar­ing a week­ly Live Face­book seg­ment called “Makeover Mon­day” Where I share a week­ly thrift store makeover that peo­ple will love using in their home.
