Hey there, Besties! 🌟✨


Today, I'm bubbling with excitement to share a little secret of mine that adds a magical touch to our home – upcycling vintage picture frames! You know how I adore bringing new life to old treasures, right? Well, this time, it's all about those glorious, grand picture frames! 🖼️🎨


Vintage Frames: A Love Affair with the Past

There's something about vintage-looking picture frames that just captures my heart. Maybe it's their story, intricate designs, or just the charm they carry from a time ago. They're like little time capsules, adding depth and character to any space. 🕰️❤️


The Thrill of the Thrift: Finding the Perfect Frames

Imagine stumbling upon huge, majestic picture frames at a local thrift store. That's exactly what happened to me! It was love at first sight. But, oh, they needed some love and care. They were like hidden gems waiting to sparkle again. I knew I had to give them a new lease on life. ✨

The Transformation: Painting Magic

Here's where the fun began. I rolled up my sleeves and got my paintbrushes out. Choosing the perfect colors to complement their vintage charm was like picking out a gown for a ball – exciting yet crucial! Painting these frames wasn't just about changing their look; it was about enhancing their stories, making them a fitting part of our home's narrative. 🎨🏡


The Impact of 'Big' in Decor

Let's talk about size – because, in the world of picture frames, size does matter! I love huge frames. They're not just photo holders but statement pieces and conversation starters. When upcycled and hung on the walls, these large frames create focal points, adding a sense of drama and elegance to our cozy home. 🌟🖼️

The Joy of Upcycling

This project was more than just a decor update; it was a testament to the joy of upcycling. Giving a new life to something old is not just creative but also a sustainable choice. Every brush stroke felt like a small step towards a more eco-friendly lifestyle. 🌍♻️

Besties, the beauty of upcycling vintage picture frames lies in their ability to transform a space with history, charm, and a touch of your own personality. Whether you're a seasoned thrifter or just starting out, I encourage you to try this. Dive into the world of vintage frames and let your creativity flow!


Remember, each frame is a story waiting to be retold. Happy upcycling! 🖼️✨

My super cute entryway is filled with thrifted items!

I'm slowly getting into organizing mode with my house. I've collected so many great things from thrift stores over the years & I never really displayed anything. But, honestly, home decorating intimidates me to no end. But, in the spirit of doing whatever I want, I'm giving it a go!

Here's my little front entryway styled to the max. I thought I always wanted less stuff, but I just wanted fewer things on the ground. I couldn't care less about the walls! Luckily, I have so many wall things to hang up! Maybe my style would be called "organized clutter"?! Is that a thing?

My goal right now is to get everything up from the basement & onto the walls. From there, I can rearrange.

I'm also going to get rid of many things that I can no longer use or like. I have a lot going on this summer & I want to make it easier to keep my house clean. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in stuff & it's difficult to clean. So I'm now on a mission to either display or get rid of things.

Awesome & Unique Items Found At The Thrift Store | On The Creek Blog

Items found at the thrift store over the weekend!

We did a little thrift shopping over the weekend & I picked up a few cute things!

I've been a little more picky with what I buy lately.  I have worked on enough projects to have a decent idea of things I want to get into & what to leave alone.  Of course, every project is different & there are always surprises!  Something that seems simple might end up being quite time consuming!

Here's my latest thrift haul!
