So far I'm at $170.50 for 5 beautiful pieces of furniture! A little back story, we just moved (out of state) it was a little frantic, and we could not bring all of our furniture. It was a bummer but it couldn't be helped. We had one moving truck and we had to priorities. So now were in our new home and we need furniture!!! Sans money, I'm doing a little DIY experiment. I'm going to see how much furniture I can make or buy cheap and fix up for just $500.
This project is of a little bench I made for our mini-mudroom in a closet. I made it out of wood from our scrap wood pile and aged the cheap pine to make it look rich and lovely and expensive!
This round kitchen table was listed on Facebook marketplace for $20! when I messaged him, he said "if you can pick it up TODAY, I'll give it to you for $15" DONE!
This little alcove needed a desk, and I needed to do it for CHEAP, made it happen for UNDER $50 including all the stain and varnish!!
Check all these projects on the blog and follow to see how far my $500 budget get me!
