Spring 2016 Thrift Store Upcycle

By 31 Comments

I’m so excited to bring you this Thrift Store Decor Upcycle Challenge! I’ve teamed up with 20 other bloggers for this thrift store blog hop. The rules were simple–take an item(s) from a thrift store, yard sale, resale shop etc. and transform it into a new piece of home decor. There was no budget or theme to stick to so we were free to let our creativity run wild!

I love the look of topiaries used in home décor. They add a touch of greenery that is different than your typical house plants. You can find artificial topiaries at many home décor stores, but my favorites are the live plants that I turn into topiaries. They are usually much cheaper to make, too.

I have developed my own pot roast recipe over the years and it’s also turned out to be one of my family’s favorites. Recently I tried a new brand of chuck roast that is produced right here in Utah and can be found at many Walmart stores around the country.
