Are you looking for a fun project that wil add some pizzazz to your home- that doesn't require a degree in carpentry or engineering? Before you leave your old furniture on the curb with a sign that says, "free to good owner," here are 7 creative ideas that will revitalize that furniture and leave anyone feeling handy.
Rustic Planter
Enhance any backyard space by painting an old bedroom side table with a fun color, pull out the drawer, and use it as a planter.
Kitchen Island
Don't have a build-in island? Transform an old dresser by adding a custom countertop. Leave the drawers, as they will come in handy for storing utensils or small appliances. Add wheels to the legs to make it mobile.
Crib Appeal
We all need more storage. Take off one of the side rails of an old crib and add a piece of glass or butcher block on top to make a cool bookcase or craft table.
Front Door Headboard
Reuse that old front door by creating a custom headboard for a guest bedroom. Paint white or multi-colors for a country chic look. Just make sure to remove the doorknob!
Vanity Transformation
Remove the backing of an old dresser, add a sink, and you have a cool vanity for your bathroom. Spruce it up even more by using a new countertop and modern hardware.
Bedspring Bottle Holders
No wine rack, no problem. Remove old mattress bedsprings and attach them to a wood panel.
Pet Bed
Every pampered pet needs a bed. Take a drawer from an old dresser and add throw pillows for some cushion.
If you have some time on your hands and old furniture to get rid of, maybe you can repurpose them and spruce up your décor at the same time with these fun ideas.
