Not Really the DIYer Type But Love to Shop?
If you aren’t really the hands-on type but have an eye for beautiful design, we have some great ideas for you.
Get Creative with Storage – Find a used wooden corner cupboard with plenty of storage space and refinish it or simply give it a good cleaning using a soft cotton cloth and a mixture of oil soap and water. Apply the cleaner sparingly and carefully in a circular motion following the grain of the wood. Use a fresh, dry cloth to remove any excess moisture by rubbing the piece down once more, using circular motions along the wood grain. Repurpose to Add a Coffee Table That’s Functional and a Terrific Conversation Piece – Looking to add something to your décor that’s as unique as you are? Try upcycling a large flat top steamer trunk or an heirloom hope or memory chest as a coffee table! The rectangular shape is perfect for functionality, offers storage capabilities and is sure to be a conversation starter! Lineberry Carts – Named for the Lineberry Foundation and Machine Co., the business that produced and sold these oak carts with three cast iron wheels, bolts and plates from the early 1900s to the mid-twentieth century, these multipurpose carts were used to transport all types of factory goods throughout the southeastern United States. In the last decade or so, the popularity of the Lineberry carts has reemerged as they are commonly restored and used as coffee tables. Purchasing a restored Lineberry cart can cost up to a thousand dollars. You can save big by purchasing a cart and doing the restoration work yourself.
