Up-Cycle Old Furniture

Giving old furniture a face lift can not only save you money but you can create one-of-a-kind pieces for your home, or to sell.

I really like everything about this old desk redo.

Hubby has an old desk that is very similar. With some patience, I think we could pull off this look.

I like this!

My grandson save a big Marilyn poster for me when one of his mom's friends was moving.

 

^^^I would so buy that!

 

Idk.. .it's so hipster. I feel like I'd have to try to pull off that furniture. It would take effort to own those. They are cool though, I agree.

 

I would like to do that with Audrey

Oh look someone did. Cute...very girly, but cute

 

she's a mushroom.

 

Yeah the mushroom hat looks a bit silly

This one turned out better

 

This is the poster I have.

My bedroom is going to be grey and white so I'd like the dresser white and silver antique, maybe.

 

OMG! This reminds me of @scratcho!

 

I can get numerous pallets and I have been looking at pallet outside furniture and it's pretty cool.

 

Yes! I've seen all kinds of neat pallet furniture on Pinterest.

 

....and highly flammable.

I would never use cardboard for inside the house

Cheers Glen.

 

Great, maybe you could start a thread dedicated to upcycled cardboard being made into furniture.

 

I think it's interesting and way less off topic than most posts in most threads

 

We made a table like this with an old sewing machine stand that I picked up at a yard sale.

 

I'd like to do this if I come by another stand.
