Upcycle a vintage plate into home decor. This crafter used a baby's silhouette to add classic style to an antique plate. Another option would be simply hanging an array of colorful vintage plates to add color and focus to a wall. Thrift stores often have a section of old dishware that can be quite inspiring, and at a low cost!

Using pages from an old book, this crafter converted pre-loved furniture into a stunning home decoration. A new coat of paint, an aged novel and a wicker table are all you'll need to recreate this colorful, antique table. Spice it up: Choose a bright coral or seafoam green to capture a retro look!

How about some glamorous vintage labels to add some pizazz to those plain containers in your home? These could be used for everything from Q-tips and cotton swabs in your bathroom, to a candy dish on your counter. Use old Mason jars to add even more color to your (now organized) home.

Use thrift-store vintage sheets to create unique home decorations to brighten up a room. This crafter stretched old family sheets on hoops, but you could also use patterned sheets in picture frames, over bulletin boards or on shelves. Floral, retro or patterned sheets can liven up many parts of a room if you are willing to put a little work into upcycling them!

Take a "blah" chair and make it into an "aha!" home decoration by painting the fabric. Look for a plush seat with fun angles, and repaint the fabric and/or the trim to brighten it up. This could also work on stools, end tables or even pillows that need a makeover!
