Decorate Dining Room with Thrift store furniture

Thrift Store Dining Room Shopping Deals 

In case you missed my Beachy Tablesape post where I share everything about this tablescape go here.

How to decorate dining room with Thrift Store furniture?

I love finding deals! Finding something at the thrift store and making it over it so satisfying!

I shared my process of turning these thrift store dining room chairs into French beauties here.

Thrift Store Black Buffet Table

The black sideboard or buffet if you will, was also bought at a thrift store a few years ago. I paid a whopping $25.00! It is actually a dresser but I knew it would work perfectly as a side board table. Recycling furniture for a different purpose is so fun!

Yep it was a deal!

Black Mirror Thrift Store Find

This mirror was also purchased at a consignment shop in Salt Lake I think I paid $70.00 dollars for it.

The original finish was silver to begin with so I painted it black and wiped off some it to leave some of the silver showing through.

Faux Hydrangeas

These gorgeous hydrangeas are silk and were used at my daughters wedding almost 5 years ago!! I bought them at Tuesday Morning and they really are beautiful.

Here is the view of the Beachy Tablescape

Thrift Store Chandelier

My chandelier is really one of my most favorite pieces…also from a consignment shop in Salt Lake. I love the gold mixed with the crystals. As soon as we walked into the consignment shop I knew I had to have it! 

Wall Art and Blinds

The wall art is not from a thrift store. I actually purchased them at two different stores and they totally match! 

They are made of some sort of canvas material.

I think they really make the room feel taller and bring in more of the black throughout the room.

Notice the bamboo blinds? I bought these for all the windows in the house from Lowe’s and I only paid…are you ready….$5.00 to $10.00 a piece!! That my friends is a total miracle! 

Seriously the best deal I have ever found!! They could be considered thrift store finds because they are were so cheap!

They totally make the house!

No Sew Parson chair idea

Here again I am sharing my “cheap-o” way of making my beige Parson chairs work in the room by tucking in leftover fabric into the seat.

Then simply draping it up and over and cinching it with cording/pipping and a sea shell napkin ring.

Full look of my tablescape…does it make you want to come to dinner tonight?!

Rug Find

Here is my Rug deal! I bought this yellow/gold rug at Pier One on clearance for only $48.00 before we even moved into the house and before the paint was on the walls.

Here is a similar looking rug you might like.

I just figured I could use it somewhere in the house and it worked out perfectly in the dinning room!

Who Knew?

Hope you have all enjoyed my Beachy tablescape and thrift store finds!

To order up some of these delicious sea shell chocolates for your next dinner party, leave me a comment and I will have my mom email you with the prices.

These are also perfect for wedding favors too!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • I saw you featured at Under the Table and Dreaming- I just love this room. The pop of black makes that wall, I think. I live in UT- mind telling me which two shops you got the wall hangings from? I am in love!
    Thanks- Becca

  • I just visited your Mom's blog a few minutes ago. I want to order some of the chocolate sea shells, but not until it gets closer to June when I plan to use them. They really look cool, and I'm sure our guests will be wowed by them! They look great on your cool seafaring table!!! I really like the fabric treatment over the Parsons chairs, too. I have them in our dining room, and I am always looking for something to make them look...different. Kind of hard to do since they have a pattern, but I might be able to play with this idea. Thanks! Have a great weekend!

  • I just love the colors in the room, especially the wall color and the black accents. Everything looks so pretty and new! Fun table. I started at Eat Lots...
    and hopped over to see your table. It looks so great.

    What a bunch of wonderful deals too! Fabulous.

  • Your dining room is sooo pretty! The colors are so yummy and the black accents make the most beautiful contrast.
    You found great deals for sure.
