MEMORIES from January 2017: RECYCLE, REPAIR, REVAMP AND GIVE IT A SECOND LIFE!

​I love yard sales, flea markets and thrift stores. The feeling of finding old, dated or broken pieces with transformation potential gives me an unparalleled adrenalin rush. Not to mention a cost-effective bargain and the opportunity to be crafty, thrifty and creative.  Need I say more? NOPE!
 
I found this old ugly and dated night stand at a nonprofit thrift store for $10.00 and immediately I saw the potential. It came at the nick of time, since I needed one for a room that I was remodeling. So I purchased it and took it home. I knew exactly what I wanted, so I “commissioned” my husband to execute my vision. When you see the final piece, you will know why he didn’t disappoint me.
 
Therefore, I encourage you to make it your business to transform, recycle, repurpose and/or salvage pieces that otherwise will end up in our landfills and have fun while doing it. It is such a good feeling.
 
What I need to do to transform this piece of furniture:
  1. Clean, clean, clean, well inside and out.
  2. Purchase primer, paint brushes and sandpaper.
  3. Give it a good tender loving care “massage” with sandpaper, smile.
  4. Purchase paint, the color of your choice.
  5. Purchase new and modern drawer knobs.
 
Total cost of this project: ($10. nightstand, and $8.75 materials) = $18.75
