    I recommend trying decoupage with vintage paper or fabric. I did this on an old nightstand, and it added such character. It’s a simple technique that doesn’t require much experience

      Upcycling old furniture is such a cool project! Start with a simple piece like a chair or side table. Clean it up, then think about sanding, painting, or adding new hardware. There are tons of DIY tutorials online to guide you. Have fun turning old into new!

        Start Small try a simple piece like a side table or a chair. It’s less overwhelming and a great way to practice.​

          Start by sanding down the old furniture to remove any finish or imperfections, then decide if you want to paint, stain, or add new hardware for a fresh look. Pinterest is great for ideas, and simple updates like swapping out legs or adding fabric can make a huge difference!
