Master bedroom reveal – Garage sale and thrift store furniture

Master-bedroom makeover
I am excited to show you my sisters bedroom makeover! Tiff has done amazing things in this room using garage sale and thrift store furniture…she always finds the deals! Tiff found the entire bedroom set…the bed, side table, dresser and large mirror at a garage sale for $600.00 SCORE!!!!
Master bedroom makeover, the style sisters
This is her bedroom before the makeover…I loved all the colors but the white bedroom furniture looks so good with the grey and touches of red. The picture frames are also from garage sales that hang above the bed and have been painted a few times over the years..I like them both ways.
You may remember this wreath that I made back in December the tutorial is Here. I made one for. Tiff and she hung it above her bed right in the middle…It makes me so happy that she loves it 🙂

She made these adorable European shams the tutorial is Here

On the other side of the room is the thrift store desk and filing cabinet the before pictures and tutorial is Here

Thrift store desk makeover, the style sisters
Here is the desk before..ugly and missing a drawer

Tiff sanded this desk a ton and painted it white.

After a few years it took a beating
So she covered it with this cute grey and white chevron fabric
She moved it into her sewing room and then finally into her bedroom. I love how she is able to use her furniture in so many different rooms.

Hope this inspires you to find things at garage sales and thrift stores for your home.

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️

My travel outfit tip- wear your denim jacket and raincoat to leave room in luggage. Loving this lightweight raincoat that is lined. It also fits great in my backpack.

White sneakers with leopard detail and super comfy and go with everything!
