Master bedroom reveal – Garage sale and thrift store furniture

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!!!!
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

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.

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!
