In the increasingly expensive, consumer-driven reality that we live in, have you ever considered that, instead of throwing old furniture out, many furniture and home furnishing items can be reimagined and re-designed?
With a little creativity, time and know-how, you can breathe a beautiful new lease of life into them, giving your room or home a newly re-vamped look.
Whether laminate or wooden pieces of furniture, glass or ceramic home decor, it's completely possible for you to tweak or redesign their look. It's not only a great creative outlet, but it costs so much less than buying new home furnishings, and your pieces will be unique to you!
And let's be honest, it also saves you from having to haul furniture off (or pay to have it hauled off) just for it to sadly waste away in the landfill!
