Despite a constant flow of donations, thrift stores always seem to stock the same stuff. From old, scratched records, to mismatched dining sets, sometimes it’s hard to see the potential in what appears to be junk. But with a little bit of creativity, common thrift store finds can become gorgeous art pieces, unique items of clothing, and one-of-a-kind furniture.
