28 Paintings From Thrift Stores And Garage Sales That Were Upgraded By Other Artists (New Pics)

Article created by: Gabija Palšytė

Going thrift shopping is always an adventure. You never know what you might find while digging through a bargain bin of shoes or a barrel full of backpacks and belts. If you’re lucky, you might even stumble upon a piece of artwork that’s worth displaying in your home. And even if you don’t think any of the pieces are up to par yet, you might be able to give a painting new life by adding your own flair to it.

In fact, there is a whole community of people who are skilled at finding old pieces of artwork and giving them upgrades. Let me introduce you to the Repaintings subreddit. This group is dedicated to “repainting and transforming thrift store paintings”, and as you’ll soon see, some of the members are incredibly talented. We’ve gathered a list of some of our favorite repaintings that have been shared in the group down below, so you can see what all of these creative individuals are capable of doing with simple second hand finds. Be sure to upvote the paintings that inspire you the most, and then if you’re interested in checking out even more, we’ve got another Bored Panda piece on the same subreddit for you to view next right here.
