The Frugal Girl

When I posted my last painting project : …some of you had questions/comments that I wanted to answer in a post so that all of you could see the answers. It would be so much fun to have a furniture rehab class with all of you. But I also want to encourage all of you by saying that no one ever taught me how to paint furniture.

Many years ago, I got a little wooden chest from freecycle. I painted it white, and I put it in Zoe’s room, and then Lisey’s, and then when I moved here, I brought it along and kept it in Lisey’s room. The freecycle chest is pretty small. Definitely time for some fresh paint.

You will save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars by looking for the basics in secondhand stores, eBay and Freecycle. Furniture can be freshened with a new coat of paint in your choice of color so that it looks brand new at a fraction of the cost. Do you really need to buy everything new to set up your nursery?
