I took a leap. I have been so inspired by some of the posts that I read on other blogs, that I decided to try something new. Something a bit different for me. I am dreading it and I am excited all at the same time. I hope you're going to offer up some tips, some advice and some posts to inspire my next project; upcyling some furniture!
A couple of weeks ago, I was walking back from having taken my car to the garage when I noticed that the donation centre for a charity shop on the industrial state near to us, took donations of furniture. I carried on walking and wondering if they might sell directly from there. So I turned back. I managed to buy two wooden chairs which you may have seen via my NEW Instagram feed (yeah, I took the step into Instagram...find and follow me ok?) and I found this side table in the 'skip' pile. Can you believe it. They were just going to throw it out!
Ok, right now it is not much to look at and I am not at all experienced in doing this but I saw potential. It is really sturdy and I feel like I can do something with this. I liked the style of it too. What do you think?
I have no idea what I am going to do with it, where I am going to start or even where I am going to put it, but I know I am up for the challenge. I want to #ReCreate something fabulous from this which would otherwise have been thrown away.
I am relying on all of you upcyclers out there to hit me with (I mean link up obviously) your posts and comments about upcycling furniture. Tips on tools, paint, inspiration, techniques and mediums. Everything and anything. And invite everyone you know who has experience in this please. The more the merrier (and I need all of the help I can get). As it is #NationalUpcyclingDay today, I am sure there are some great posts about!
HELP!
