Easy projects can
freshen up your home & be inexpensive, too.
Place an antique in
any space no matter what the décor… antique pieces span the boundaries of style. Buy an antique or just
move existing furniture around to give your home a breath of fresh air, a lovely
face-lift.
Adding an antique can
be as easy as 1. 2. 3.
1. Find a vacant
space in your house (existing or create one by listing an unwanted piece of
your furniture on Craig's List – this helps finance the future purchase)
2. Take a day trip to
some great Thrift Stores or Antique Mall and enjoy ‘window shopping’
until something jumps out at you.
3. Most stores even now
offer delivery but if you can fit it into your vehicle… immediate gratification… bring
it home, set it in place, polish it up… and ENJOY!
New life will be given to any room with an addition of a ‘new’ old
piece of furniture. And try not to pigeon-hole the use of your piece of
furniture “It’s a dresser, so it has to go in the bedroom”. Mix it up, dressers
work in living rooms, dining rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms even porches… and side tables work in living rooms, dining
rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms… see where I’m going with this?
For instance, a bath feels authentic to the period of a home, but you can create an unique twist with
the addition of an antique piece.
This China Cabinet has
been brought back to life with a new use…
a gorgeous painted Linen Closet.
