Finding new furniture can be such a long process. You have to hunt high and low for what you have in your mind, you can end up spending hours online trying to find the best price, checking sizes, delivery costs etc but what if you already have the perfect pieces in your home? With a touch of DIY and a bit of creative flair, you may be able to give your current furniture a completely new look for very little cost to your pocket and also to the environment.
