Pool Cabana Furnished with Thrift Store Finds

I’ve been wanting to share this fun post for quite some time, and if you follow me on Instagram, you would have already seen a sneak peek of my fun little pool cabana. This has literally been a dream come true for us, and since we pretty much ran out of money after this thing was built, I had to get creative when it came to furnishing it. So…. thrift store finds to the rescue!!!

The Rules:

• Upcycle an item(s) from a thrift store, resale store, or garage sale into a new piece of decor.
• There’s no monthly theme.
• There’s no budget to stick to.

I knew that I wanted some type of outdoor bed in my backyard pool cabana, but when I started checking out the prices, my jaw dropped. They were in the thousands!!! So, I went on my trusty little local buy & sell app and found this awesome daybed for a hundred bucks. I am an awful blogger that was so excited to put this thing together, I didn’t even take a Before pic.

My next thrifted item was this set of chairs. I found them for $12 each, and was originally going to spray them a fun colour, but when I put them in place flanking the daybed to get a sense of the layout, I decided that I liked them white after all.

A little accessorizing with some cute pillows, and I call this space finished. The stools were purchased on clearance at the end of last summer. August is always a great time to score some steals for the following year.

My new puppy has also taken a liking to these chairs and tries to eat them, so just ignore the little nibble marks on the arms.

I have some more thrift store accents to add to this space in the coming weeks, which includes a candle chandelier, which I’ll spray paint and outfit with some battery operated candles, and a large clock that will go on this empty wall. I’m about 90% done this space, so I’m in the home stretch.

The perfect spot for an outdoor nap…. Zzzzzzzz

At first, my husband didn’t think we needed a pool cabana, but no word of a lie if he isn’t out there on that bed Every. Single. Day. having a nap…. I’m convinced he loves it more than I do.

It just goes to show ya, that being creative and furnishing a space on a budget can actually be pretty darn amazing in the end.

And now for more thrifty goodness!
