Repaint old furniture
It’s hard to let go old furniture as they carry sentimental values and precious memories. Instead of sending them to junk, transform old yet useful furniture into a new one by repainting them.
Though painting old furniture can be time consuming, the result is absolutely worth it.
How to paint old furniture?
First is to prep it. Clean the surface carefully and get the entire glossy off by sanding your furniture. Once it is already dust-free and dry, paint some primer to help your piece adhere to the furniture better. Then sand again using a fine-grit sandpaper to achieve a more professional finish. Lastly, paint the furniture with your preferred color.
Painting your old furniture would not only save the memories that go with it but will also save you some money.
