{decor} Revamp Your Dresser :: part I

image source

In the age of 'make do and mend' it is not unsual to repurpose and refurbish our homewares.

It is in fact a trend which is altogether environmentally friendly, economical and saves us the little heart break of disposing of dear old items of furniture and personals {I do, like most nostalgic people, attach sentiment to 'things' and those are the things I carry with me in both my heart and my cart!}.

Renovate with a splash of colour by painting, add patterns with decoupage, add texture when covered with a cool wallpaper, and interest with stencils or even stickers...

here are a few excellent ideas on how to spruce up an old dresser and give it some new life, a new location, new purpose...keep the furniture but move on with times, growing families and living priorities.
