I’m often told, “Your Goodwill is so much better than mine. I never find half the stuff you do, Kathryn.” And while I’ve gotten lucky a few times, there are three main categories of items that you can find at virtually ANY thrift store or garage sale to organize and decorate your home. You don’t need to find a special store or have crazy thrift-store luck. Here are some quick ideas to get you inspired and help you shop thrift like a pro.

Here are cheap ways to decorate your room or home using all Dollar Tree products. Many of you leave me messages saying that your dollar store doesn’t carry the items mine does (or they are always sold out by the time you get there), but these find are pretty much year-round staples (apart from the Calendar, but stores seem to have a lot of them), so hopefully they are doable and findable at your local store!

SHARPIE PLATES
Oil-based sharpies work best for this project
Plate Hangers
How to bake:
1. Clean plate with rubbing alcohol
2. Practice design on paper and then draw on mug. Regular Sharpies don’t work as well. Get an oil-based option. If you aren’t eating off of them, it doesn’t REALLY matter, but the oil-based will give you more longevity and be more true to color.
3. Let FULLY dry (24-48 hours)
4. Put plates in a COOL OVEN and then turn on. You want it to heat gradually. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
5. Bake for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Turn off the oven and let cool fully before removing.

This year was the first that I was truly disappointed in the fall section at Dollar Tree (if I’m being totally honest). It was underwhelming and stocked with droves of chitzy stuff that seemed a waste of a dollar. FEAR NOT! That makes for a great opportunity to create your own gorgeous fall decor. While standing alone these items are nothing to write home about, together with a bit of glam-factor, they can be a beautiful addition to your home (or kitchen! or hair-styling routine!)
Looking for Krylon Looking Glass Spray Paint? Yes, it’s expensive everywhere, but a little bit goes a long, long way!
