As a college student, finding things for our dorm, apartment, or just a cute makeup brush holder that is adorable but cheap is very difficult. Going to Goodwill is the best solution for this dilemma as young adults. Every time you go to Goodwill, they always have so many different things like side tables, cabinets, cups, lamps, or other miscellaneous things. The next time you want something for your apartment or house, take a trip to Goodwill to see what you can repurpose before spending a fortune.
1. Metal tray to "menu" chalkboard
Now, would you look how easy that would be! Find a cute tray that you like, get some spray paint, and chalkboard paint and that sucker is perfect for the kitchen! By painting it a bright color, you can make your kitchen pop and it could be a great conversation starter.
2. Side table to a brand new looking side table
Look at what some paint can do to a table! All you have to do is, find a table you like, paint it and you can sit back and let the compliments roll in. Repurposing a little side table or cabinet can change the whole atmosphere of the room maybe even the house.
3. Mason jars to utensil holders or make-up brush holders
Aren't these mason jars adorable? Why not get some mason jars from Goodwill and get some cheap paint to change them completely! If you are feeling super artsy, you can even add glitter to them and ribbon or if your not the artsy type you can just add a strip of paint and it will change the look as well! There are so many ways to change the look and purpose of mason jars.
4. Cabinet to a place to hang purses or scarves
Need a new place to hang your purses, scarves or jewelry? Take an old cabinet door, give it a new paint job, add some knobs on it and there you go, a place to hang some things! This would go perfectly in a tight closet to add more space for the bigger things like clothes!
5. Old board games to shelves
Goodwill has a lot of different board games that are either missing pieces or some of the game is ripped. Grabbing an old game can be very helpful in a little kids room for shelving. Most games already come folded in half so all you need to do is add some hooks and you have yourself some pretty cool shelves!
6. Old coffee cups and saucers to bird feeders
Many people like having birds around to watch in their backyard, so why not get an old teacup and saucer to make a bird feeder. All you would need is some super glue, some string to hang it, and some bird seed! What a great way to add some decoration outside!
7. Old Shutters to a place to hang letters and notes
Grabbing an old window shutter or two can really spice up your office or kitchen. Using an old shutter is the perfect way to hang important letters or notes or even your glasses.
