Upcycling Your Home Décor

by Jessica O'Connor

 

You’ll be amazed at how a little TLC can turn the old into new, and give your home a fresh look while saving the planet (and your wallet!)

 

 

Give a China cabinet new life

 No need to ditch the cabinets  – consider giving them a sanding and a fresh coat of paint and using them for storage using fabric boxes for a uniform and clean look.

 

 

 

Turn an old bar stool into an end table

A wooden bar stool fits perfectly into a small space if you’re in a tight squeeze.

 

 

 

Bring an old dresser into the kitchen to create an island

With a classic wood stain paint job, you could have a brand-new kitchen island with ample storage.

 

 

 

Find new life for old fabrics in throw pillows

When old sheets or towels have reached the end of their life, consider trimming them down and sewing them into throw pillow covers.
It’s a money saver and you get to keep a little souvenir of décor long past.

 

 

 

Turn cans into planters

There are endless uses for old tin cans. Smaller cans will look great on a counter or windowsill, while the larger tins could be attractive pieces on a porch or balcony.
