Where can I find ideas for redoing a piece?
Brand new here to the community & loving it! My question is this -- I'm brand new to the whole DIY furniture redo process. I have several pieces I'd like to update (okay, a LOT of pieces!), but no idea where to start. Is there somewhere here to post a photo that I can then ask for ideas about how you'd do it if you could get your hands on it?
Thanks so much & can't wait to read more!
