Save money, get inspired and learn how to turn dated, tattered and broken secondhand furniture into beautiful, stylish and unique one-of-a-kind pieces!
I love hunting for and transforming old, dated and damaged secondhand furniture.
From the thrill of the hunt to the feeling of accomplishment, transforming secondhand furniture is a great way to save money and turn something dated into something beautiful.
