Each of us has old furniture at home or in the country. These specimens can be convenient to use, but their appearance often leaves much to be desired.

Those models that have retained their visual appeal are most likely already out of fashion. The question arises: what to do with old furniture?

Someone sends old stuff to the trash heap, others prefer to take advantage of interesting ideas for rework and give a new life to their favorite piece of furniture.

There are many examples of simple design changes on the internet.

Our heroine made a modern and beautiful chest of drawers from a crumbling chest of drawers, which perfectly matches the overall design of the living space.

Initially, the chest of drawers was brown, most likely, it was created in Soviet times, then there were a lot of them.

The girl had to wash the surfaces, putty to cover the chips and cracks, sandpaper to perfect smoothness with sandpaper, then degrease, apply two layers of primer-enamel.

As decorative elements, drawings were made, which, for reliability, the heroine sprayed with an aerosol matte varnish. Against the background of a predominantly white design, coffee details and a simple pattern look stylish.

The girl attached black handles to the retractable drawers.

From the old chest of drawers, we managed to make a beautiful piece of furniture that will fit any interior. Agree, the work is simple, large costs are not required.

Everyone can try their hand at reworking old furniture. If the result is unsuccessful, you can always choose a darker shade for a new repainting.

Such examples are inspiring. It seems that you can't imagine any easier, but my experiments with repainting, for some reason, failed.

Before you throw away old furniture, think about whether you can make something interesting and unique out of it.

It's worth starting with white, which can always be changed or supplemented with another shade. This is a great way to make the most of your time.

If necessary, you can always contact the designer personally, ask questions of interest. This is a great way to quarantine or self-isolate.
