Thrift Store Finds Upcycled Repurposed Restyled

 


Thrift Store Finds Upcycled Repurposed Restyled

Hello, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams! Glad to have you stopping by. Below I am sharing some pictures of some thrift store finds I had found, and what I did with some of those pieces by upcycling, and repurposing them. These were completed items I had made back in time. From the looks of some things when roaming the internet it looks like this idea is still around, and popular with some groups too. 



This is a Green Relish Dish Tray Glass Pedestal Stand Vintage Inspired that I made. Love how these 2 beautiful glass pieces came together to create this relish pedestal stand. I was very pleased with this, and with choices I made with the pieces this stand looked like new too. Also, I like how some of the pieces have a versatile use with them. Just as beautiful flipped over for use too.



This is a Stoneware Cupcake Plate Amber Glass Pedestal Stand that also looks like new. The lonely amber glass candy dish, or dessert bowl was attached to a lonely Mikasa soup/salad bowl making this beautiful pedestal stand. As you can see this pedestal stand can also be flipped over using it as a candle holder, or whatever you desire. 


Lastly I am showing you a Green Glass Cupcake Plate Pedestal Stand that was also repurposed by me. The color, and design work with the plate I felt was a match with the green glass candy dish, or dessert bowl creating this pedestal stand. Sorry, I could not find a picture to show you how it looked in use flipped over. But, it would be very close to what the amber glass pedestal stand is above this. 

I had so much fun making these lonely pieces into something useful with possibilities for different uses for them all too. Some things made can be for the home, they are great displays, use in wedding decor, great in the kitchen, can be used in serving, make great gifts, use for organizing things, and again endless possibilities. I enjoyed spending the time searching for different pieces, and then taking my time with how the pieces partnered and united making what they became. I know sometimes I can be to selective with individual pieces, but I really do enjoy the outcome of how they come together when completed too. Seeing beyond what it is, to what it can be, right?

I hope you all enjoyed what was shared with you today. Thanks so much for stopping by, and sharing your time with LilacsNDreams! Take care, and see you again soon.
