5 Fun Updates for Older Pieces of Furniture
Check out these 5 updates for older pieces of furniture….
1) Paint
We found this table in Paris at a flea market when we lived their 12 years ago. It became outdated for my house so I opted instead of selling it, to paint it and let the kids have it for the Game Room. I paid someone to do it who could spray it. It gets a better coat of paint and finish that way. If you are a DIYer I recommend consulting with a paint store in your area before painting furniture.
2) Hardware
Just a simple change of hardware can really make a difference with a piece of furniture.
3) Wallpaper
It can add a fun change to furniture…
4) Overlays
Makeover a piece using overlays from myoverlays.com, a great resource to add details to your furniture.
5) Convert
Repurposing a piece like this dresser into a drop down desk or adding to a desk to give it a more updated look.
Happy Everything!

Karen, I love this post!! So fabulous. Great ideas!
Thanks Ann!
Love that you kept the piece from Paris and reused it in your playroom! That makes it even more special! And I am totally amazed by the $69 IKEA desk. MAJOR difference!
