Thrifted Plant Stand Makeover

06/13/16

Every pretty plant needs a pretty planter or stand right? Of course! But they can be seriously expensive. So imagine my excitement when I found the perfect stands at the thrift store for $5. Holla! There were 3 of them and I’m still kicking myself for only taking two. No idea why I did that. But nonetheless I’m pretty pumped about this Thrifted Plant Stand Makeover.

THRIFTED PLANT STAND MAKEOVER

It was my first thrifting adventure since E was born and I was on the hunt for a little table I needed for this post a little while back. I found that sewing table and then I found these amazing little stands.

How cute, right?! Like I said, I grabbed two of them and walked out of there with a huge smile on my face. They didn’t need much work at all, just a little paint and fresh stain and they’d be the perfect little modern plant stands.

One set of legs was pretty beat up, so I ended up sanding them and re-staining them. The other one I just left as is.

I used my go to Dark Walnut and added a coat of Poly on top.

For the round tops, I gave them each a few coats of white spray paint.

And the hardware got a fresh coat of gold spray paint. Then I put them back together and got these little cuties 🙂

This one’s in the sitting nook in our master and the other one is in our living room. I’m kinda obsessed. Such an easy makeover and they go perfectly with our decor. And yes, this plant is still alive and well 😉

Our laundry room was the first room we renovated w Our laundry room was the first room we renovated when we moved into this home. Mainly because it was the room my FIL had the least emotional attachment to 🤣 I still love it today but have been needing a little change. I’m in this room ALL the time, and was getting bored of looking at the same stuff! So I switched out the laundry basket, hung some artwork on the tile and changed up my vase and greenery. And it instantly feels just different enough to put a smile on my face and kinda make me want to fold all the kids laundry that’s been sitting in the dryer for far too many days 😜 little changes that make a big impact are my favorite 🙌🏻 truthfully: I daydream about painting the cabinets in here too - they read darker in photos but in real life are much more blue. I’ll save that for another day 😉 but for now I’ll stick to painting my bookcase. Head to stories to catch the first stroke of black! 🖤
Who’s cuter? Dilly or the new legs we added to m Who’s cuter? Dilly or the new legs we added to my barrister bookcase? 😍 you know I’m all about repurposing around here and I love that we were able to take legs and other curved pieces from a $20 table I found on Facebook marketplace and add them to this guy! It wasn’t easy and if you get real close you’ll see lots of screws and chipped veneer 😂 but they’re on and I love them. Celebrating slow progress - because that’s how I’m rolling these days 🤪 can’t wait to start painting soon! #breinspired

5! Our spunky, sassy, passionate, dramatic, kind, 5! Our spunky, sassy, passionate, dramatic, kind, loving, fearless, stubborn, strong willed girl is 5 today and my heart is bursting with pride for who she has become. From the way she is her brothers biggest cheerleader, to the way she lifts me up when I’m feeling stressed and overwhelmed, I’m constantly amazed at the depth of feeling she already has. Eloise I pray you never lose your fierce spirit and beautiful imagination and keep bringing joy to everyone you meet. WE LOVE YOU. 🤍 #birthdaygirl👑
$10 well spent 🙌🏻 I’ll never get tired of $10 well spent 🙌🏻 I’ll never get tired of a good thrift store makeover what about you? I love finding unique treasures that add character to our home, but sometimes they need a little TLC. I didn’t love the swirly stripe on the front of this lamp (which some of you liked - and that’s totally ok!) but that didn’t stop me from buying it and turning it into something I now love 😍 next time you’re at an antique or thrift store, try and look past what you see in front of you and imagine the possibilities of what you could create 😉 next up - gallery wall! #breinspired
Musical trees 🌳 all the changes in Hawk’s roo Musical trees 🌳 all the changes in Hawk’s room gave this giant fiddle a new home in our bedroom. He’s fake. But that rubber tree isn’t 🙌🏻 proof I actually CAN keep them alive, despite what you saw in my stories yesterday 🙈 without that skylight he would for sure be dropping leaves like his poor brother. And on that note, I should probably go water him 🤪 what’s one plant you have the best luck keeping alive?
