20 Unique Ways To Refashion Your Old Furniture

April 30, 2015 by Larissa Coleman

hacks

Before you go and throw out that old piece of furniture that you just can’t seem to look at anymore, think about giving it a bit of a facelift and changing the look a bit.  When we are in need of something new, the majority of the time, we can refashion what we already have and get a completely new look.  This goes for furniture as well, and with a little DIY touch and some creativity, you can have a completely new piece and save some money along the way.

Take a look at this post of 20 unusual furniture hacks and maybe you will get some inspiration to change things up on one of your pieces of old furniture.

    Hi Larissa.
    You got me thinking maybe you could write similar tips also for old/unused jewelry.
    At least I do have lot of such jewelry that I rarely use any more because I feel those to be a bit out-dated. Like with furnitures, doing just a little refashioning might bring some new light into those instead of throwing away or selling in flee-markets. Maybe an idea for your next 20 hacks of X 🙂

Garage Door Halloween Decorations

This Garage Door Halloween Decoration project is such a fun way to make a big Halloween statement without needing to decorate the whole yard. Instead of a small wreath or porch sign, this idea turns the entire garage door into a spooky silhouette scene, complete with witches, pumpkins, trees, cats, and creepy Halloween shapes.

I really like this one because it has huge visual impact from the street. The black silhouettes against the pale garage door make the design easy to see, even from a distance, and it gives the whole house that haunted Halloween feel without being too gory or scary. It is perfect for families who want something dramatic but still fun for trick-or-treaters.

This is also a great project if you enjoy cutting your own shapes from cardboard, poster board, foam board, or lightweight plastic sheets. You could keep the design simple with just bats and pumpkins, or go all out with witches, trees, ghosts, black cats, and cauldrons. Add a few outdoor spotlights or battery lights nearby and it would look amazing at night.

What makes this project especially clever is that the garage door becomes the backdrop, so you do not need a lot of expensive supplies to fill a large space. It is bold, budget-friendly, and very customizable.
