Trash or Treasure

Have you inherited an old furniture piece from a friend or relative and wondered, “What do I do with this?” Before you dismiss it as “junk” and through it out, you may want to consider some other options. I’m here to help you do that.

Take for example, you are given an old Singer treadle sewing machine….

Here’s a real life example: a few years ago I spied an intricately carved vanity by the side of the road. I threw it in my hatchback in a hurry and decided to inspect it when I got home. So began the journey of looking at furniture in a new way. I no longer asked, “What is it?” My question was, “What can it become?”

Today it sits proudly in my owner’s suite bathroom. It is now my vanity. Once abandoned by the roadside; now a jewel for my eyes to feast upon.

Once thrown to the curb, this stunning detailed piece has a new home and purpose.
