Welcome to Part II of my
Thrifty Weekend Makeover!
I have some really GOOD NEWS for you:
This just expanded from a 3 part to a 4 part series
I have so many photos to share, I can't fit them all into 3 posts!
When I began this house restyling project for my parents,
I assembled all of the items that I had found in cabinets and cupboards and closets,
and then went to several thrift stores to pick up other items to use.
Here are some of the main elements and accessories that I used:
The items shown here are split just about 50/50 between what Mom already had
and what I purchased at thrift stores, ReStore, and the Dollar Tree store.
I also found more items in the house to use as I went along.
The Tommy Bahama-inspired tropical theme
came from my parent's love of Hawaii and their turtle collection
and the color palette grew out of Mom's love of the color turquoise.
I wanted to incorporate her preferences into her rooms - but not overwhelm them with bright color.
Hues of aqua, turquoise, and teal are used in transition through different rooms to connect them,
and are grounded by warm neutral brown tones.
In Part I, I started this tour backwards - from the patio in the backyard -
so today, we move indoors from there for the
Family Room Reveal!
