    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. Last week, I came across this cute lit­tle mini screen door at my local thrift store for only…

    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…

    Thrift Store Decor Finds: Taking a “You” Day

    7:39 PM - By 

    Yes­ter­day, I took some­what of a “per­son­al” day and decid­ed to step away from the com­put­er and go on a hunt for thrift store decor. Brows­ing the isles and search­ing for mis­placed trea­sures is seri­ous­ly one of my very favorite ways to pass time. That’s the thing about thrift­ing, or just stop­ping in on a whim. Some­times you win big and oth­er times you walk away emp­ty handed.  But either way, there was the hunt. And the truth is, some­times you just need to take a per­son­al day and lose your­self doing some­thing you love, because you love it. And not…

    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.

    Thrift Store Curtain Rod Wall Hanging

    5:06 PM - By 

    Y’all would­n’t believe that this beau­ti­ful piece start­ed out as a 50 cent thrift store cur­tain rod. The beau­ti­ful finials on the ends are what caught my atten­tion as I round­ed the cor­ner, and I quite pos­si­ble heard angels singing in the back­ground. Ok, maybe I’m being just a tad bit dra­mat­ic but you get the point. All of my fel­low thrift store junkies know the exact feel­ing I am talk­ing about. That moment when you see a fab­u­lous piece that will soon make a per­fect addi­tion to your home or maybe its the miss­ing piece of the puz­zle for the…

    Thrifted Bookend Makeover with Quikrete

    5:39 PM - By 

    A cou­ple weeks ago I grabbed these hefty book­ends at a yard sale for $3. Real­ly the whole day of hunt­ing was a bust but find­ing these beau­ties turned the day around! That real­ly is the joy in thrift­ing and hunt­ing for those unique items. I hope this thrift­ed book­end makeover will inspire you on your next trip to the thrift store.  When you’re on the hunt I sug­gest look­ing for items with “good bones” I know I prob­a­bly wear that phrase out but it real­ly is the most use­ful tip to remem­ber. Paint, stain and in this case, con­crete…

    DIY Christmas Centerpiece from Thrifted Lamp Shade

    3:25 AM - By 

    Every year it seems like I am left scratch­ing my head try­ing to fig­ure out the per­fect Christ­mas cen­ter­piece for my din­ing table, cof­fee tables, sofa table…any table real­ly. But I believe I may have found some­thing unique, sim­ple and beau­ti­ful with this DIY Christ­mas centerpiece. It all start­ed with an old lampshade…yes you read that cor­rect­ly, A lamp shade.  It was old. Stained. Bor­ing. But I changed all that just by sim­ply strip­ping it down with a box cut­ting knife and styling it with a few beau­ti­ful items from Roost and Restore Home. This is what the shade looked like after…
