I have participated in a bunch of Thrift Store Challenges with a group of other bloggers, where we are asked to find something at a thrift store, garage sale, Facebook Marketplace or even waiting for the garbage trucks at the curb, and revamp it or even just style it in our homes. Of course garage sales, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and NextDoor are also great places to find items as well. Here is a good starting list… paint, paint brushes, spray paint, hand sander, paint stripper, I like to use Polycrylic water based protective finish for my top coats, masks to wear while sanding, safety googles. Also using Chalk Paint saves you from sanding (unless you want to sand and re-stain) and you can mix your own using this recipe… 1/3 cup plaster of Paris 1/3 cup water mix these 2 ingredients together first then add 1 cup of paint and stir until smooth and mixed thoroughly

A new fireplace can warm up your living space and serve as a perfect excuse to cozy up on the couch and watch a movie on Netflix. If cozying by the fireplace isn’t your fancy, you and your honey can relax in a new shower or bathtub.
