One of my favorite hobbies (much to my husband’s chagrin) is upcycling furniture. (I’m one of those people who sends my husband to the curb on trash day to pick up people’s discards so I can make them pretty!)
We’ve done several pieces over the last few years and it just feels good to put a new coat of paint on an old piece of furniture! When you work with what you’ve got, it saves countless dollars, plus you can customize it to your home decor. It’s one of my favorite parts of having financial savvy.
I recently had the privilege of guest posting for answers.com about one of these projects. You can click here to see a simple step by step instruction. There are some more pictures here of the details that went into it. {And I’m excited to have a post on a major site!}
About Kelli Hays
I really like this idea for a series! Thus far I’ve more taken the strategy of…let’s just not have furniture instead of upcycling furniture, because we intend to move and I don’t want to have a lot of stuff to move, but if we ever do settle down somewhere, I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on the curb! That bookshelf turned out great, and I really like the idea of keeping things that have meaning to you!
