How we renovated the furniture that our mother-in-law threw at us Bashny.Net

I want to share a controversial story. My husband and I recently bought an apartment. While they are empty: furniture is only in the bedroom and a little in the kitchen. The mother-in-law offered them their old furniture, and they bought a new one with their father-in-law. My friend’s mother was shocked that she would never do that. How can you give an old piece of junk to a young couple? But as it turned out, my friends didn't get too upset and figured out what to do with the old furniture.



What to do with old furniture Old furniture do not have to rush to throw away. Everything that was done under the Union, as they say, was done for centuries. Well, at least for decades. So it turns out: an old wardrobe or sofa can survive several generations. They will certainly get bored with their owners. As an option, buy new furniture, and sell the old for pennies. Or make a move to the horse and give the bored furniture another chance.

My friend and her husband told me what they did with the old furniture. From the experience of this creative couple, I learned a lot of useful things and today I will talk about how you can save money on the restoration of antiquities from the last century.

A juicy shade of furniture can breathe new life into your old Soviet nightstand or boring shelving. Furniture made of wood or chipboard is perfectly painted with alkyd enamel. The main thing is to properly hide, prime and cover with wear-resistant varnish. And, of course, choose a beautiful color suitable for the interior.

It is not necessary to go to the hardware store. You can show imagination and make pens of improvised materials. We'll need screws, nuts, epoxy glue and parts to choose from. As an option, make pens from pebbles brought from the sea, or from old children's toys.

Try to add new elements to the old furniture. It can be a relief with stucco or decor in the form of wooden slats. Also, do not forget about the molding, which is able to give the old junk a completely new, even a little aristocratic look.

Molding is a special decorative element that is used for the final finish of objects, most often in order to change the visual effect. Especially common furniture molding, which for many years was in demand, then forgotten, but today it is a mandatory attribute of modern interior items. We make facades using decorative elements. There are a lot of options available.

All houses have different little things. It can be old jewelry and other useless little things waiting for its time. Give free rein to fantasy: the more elements you find, the more interesting the decor will be. Here you will also need epoxy glue and a little accuracy when gluing.

Put the furniture on your feet Why not? It'll be very creative. You can cut the legs from old chairs and add them to the nightstand or dresser. This combination can be interesting to play in contrast.

Old furniture may sound too global and complex. It's actually easier than it looks. New fabric and furniture nails will change the ancient sofa beyond recognition. You can also buy or sew a new case for old chairs. You're going to tell everyone after the stretch that these are Parisian chairs, real antiques.

Sometimes it is enough just to polish and polish old furniture. Refresh and give her a new life. If the furniture looks beautiful, its old look is able to exquisitely dilute the interior. Especially well old furniture is combined with the style of Provence.

I'm very interested in these ideas, and I'm thinking about doing my furniture. I went to visit a friend: I really liked how she and her husband designed the interior. Furniture looks great - old junk is no longer recognized. My mother-in-law was pleasantly surprised that the furniture was still useful, and everyone was happy. What do you do with the old furniture: throw it away, give it a penny or give it another chance?
