Not too long ago, I found a wonderful treasure at a Habitat ReStore: a framed Navajo sandpainting. It was such a special and unusual find, but the sandy texture sparked a most peculiar idea. Could I create something beachy with a similar texture? Some framed coastal wall art, perhaps…Read more ›
Botanical Prints on Woven Mats
![Botanical Prints on Woven Mats](https://www.sadieseasongoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/botanical-prints-on-woven-mats.jpg)
Finding these woven mats at Habitat was both exciting (ooh, fun new thrifted stuff to upcycle!) and confusing (too small to be placemats- what were these for?). Even though I couldn’t figure out their original purpose, I couldn’t wait to get them home. Because I had an idea for creating some botanical prints and they were the perfect medium to work with.Read more ›
Mid-Century Modern Coasters
![Mid-Century Modern Coasters](https://www.sadieseasongoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/mid-century-modern-coasters.jpg)
Admittedly, DIY coasters are a long-time favorite kind of project for me. They’re small, easy to work on, and make great gifts if you don’t keep them yourself. And since I didn’t have a set of mid-century modern coasters for our new home, I figured it was high time I make some.Read more ›
Christmas Coasters for the Holidays
![Christmas Coasters for the Holidays](https://www.sadieseasongoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/christmas-coasters.jpg)
I’ve always loved finding sets of book coasters at thrift stores. Sure, I don’t see them as frequently as I used to. But I have a hard time leaving them behind whenever I do. And when I recently spotted this set while thrifting, I decided to make them over into Christmas coasters for the holiday season.Read more ›
Key Bowl for the Entryway
![Key Bowl for the Entryway](https://www.sadieseasongoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/key-bowl-for-the-entryway.jpg)
As we transition from our old decor style (vintage farmhouse) to our new style (mid century modern eclectic), I am slowly replacing things around our home. In particular, I needed to replace the key bowl that my husband has relied upon for years as a safe haven for his keys and wallet.Read more ›
Boho Bookends as Botanical Home Decor
![Boho Bookends as Botanical Home Decor](https://www.sadieseasongoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/boho-bookends-as-botanical-home-decor.jpg)
A pair of plain wooden bookends at the thrift store is ALWAYS going to catch my eye. I mean, a plain wooden ANYTHING will do the same- let’s be honest. But this pair grabbed my attention recently and today I’m transforming them into boho bookends with some botanical flair.Read more ›

When you find a wonderfully old, heavy cutting board at the thrift store, it’s hard to pass it up. But what if it’s SO well-loved that it borders on “gross”? Well, that’s what happened to me recently at Habitat ReStore. And I knew that cleaning this old cutting board would require some effort.Read more ›
Decorative Cork Board for the Home Office
![Decorative Cork Board for the Home Office](https://www.sadieseasongoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/decorative-cork-board.jpg)
The picture frame section at thrift stores is full of potential treasures. Unique art to decorate your home, picture frames to upcycle or repurpose, and yes, the occasional corkboard. Since I am a notorious list-maker and note-keeper, I decided to snag one from Habitat ReStore for my desk. But, of course, I had plans on transforming it into a decorative corkboard that was just as pretty as it was functional.
