Are you looking for easy thrifty and DIY decor ideas for spring? Get started today with these simple, thrifty budget-friendly, and DIY makeovers.

Welcome to the Thrifting with the Gals monthly blog hop as we share our thrifted finds and how we decorated with these finds throughout our homes.

“Thrifting with the Gals” started with a group of friends who met over on Instagram and formed a special relationship through a mutual love of home decorating. We share a passion for all things vintage, thrifty, and cozy.

Our styles are all very unique from Kristin’s log cabin in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, Rachel’s farmhouse in North Carolina, Robyn’s beautiful French Nest in Florida, and of course myself thrifting for our homes from Vermont to Coastal Maine.

And this month we have Jennifer from Cottage on Bunker Hill joining us as a guest host. Jennifer lives near me when we are in Maine and we are looking forward to meeting up in early May to do some thrifting at Sage Farm’s Antiques.

Thrifty Spring Flips and DIYs

This month for me it was all about outdoor furniture flips and DIYs.

It’s mud season here in Vermont, a time to slow down and prepare for spring just around the corner.

My first project was on My Favorite Second-Hand Table, a wallpaper table I found thrifting last summer.

2. How to Paint Wicker Furniture Shabby Chic Style

I almost threw out these 2 thrifted wicker chairs this year, as they had become so ratty looking.

But with a few cans of spray paint, they were transformed and will be heading to Maine with us this summer for our attic guest bedrooms.

6. A Vintage Haul for the Porch

On our first nice sunny and warm day of the season, I headed over to Stone House Antique Center in Chester, Vermont to look for a few things for our front porch this spring.

I had a great day thrifting, finding an old wooden trunk, a vintage crock, blue pillows, and an adorable lemonade set all for the porch.

See it all HERE.

7. A Cozy Antique Spring Porch

The weather is starting to warm up around here and we’re also seeing signs of new greenery outside between all the April showers.

The porch now has a new antique crock filled with a beautiful spring flower arrangement and we’ve been able to enjoy our new vintage lemonade set too.

Check it all out HERE.

I think I spoke too soon though, we had mini snowstorms all day on Easter and again all day on Tuesday.

But doesn’t it look so beautiful contrasting with the green grass?
