Thrift Store find up cycle- Trunk

I found this awesome trunk at a local thrift store for a pretty descent price. After painting the whole thing, I printed out travel stickers to places we have been, and mod podged them to the top. Then I mod podged road maps on the entire inside of the trunk (that part was kind of a pain). I'm really happy with the final result, and may even add more stickers to the sides as we visit more places :)

Trash to Treasure upcycle- Antique school desks

2 old, antique looking, wooded school desks that I got off the side of the road, that someone had left out for trash. Both needed a little tightening up, easily done by re-screwing it together and putting some gorilla glue in the screw holes. Then after some paint and upholstering seat cushions, both of my kids got amazing one of a kind desks.

Trash to treasure upcylcle- Antique Chair

I got this old antique looking chair off the side of the road that someone had left out for trash, It needed one leg repaired, but other than that was still pretty sturdy. So after some paint, new cushion, reupholstering, and of course glitter, I think it came out pretty fabulous.
