When on a budget and need something new there is nothing more rewarding than refurbishing something old to make it look new and refreshed! It is also a great stress reliever as I tend not to think about anything else when I dive into a project! The cost savings is incredible when it comes to doing it yourself! Here are some ideas and projects I have worked on!
Turning an old dresser into a buffet table simply with spray paint! Supplies included about 6 cans of spray paint, tape, and tarp! Several light coats is the key here! Much more cost effective than buying a brand new buffet table!
Spray paint light shades instead of replacing expensive light fixtures. Be sure to use spray paint that can handle high heat. When moving into a new house it can get very costly making it your own. By cutting costs with this simple trick it can really help your budget.
When looking online to find a cute walk hook bar for my daughter’s room I was surprised to find most were in the $30-$40 range. I found an old laundry hook that I was not using in my basement. With a little spray paint, cute ballerina and jewel stickers my daughter and I had a great time putting this together for a fraction of the cost!
My son sure loves his cars and trucks! I kept the box from a set he got as a gift and painted it to be a display for room. The supplies included paint I had in the house and permanent markers for the cars and trucks I drew, colored then attached.
