18. Antique Your Furniture
Got an old chair, trunk or table you want to keep but it’s falling apart? Instead of throwing out, work with it. In fancier stores, they call this “the distressed look,” and they often destroy furniture to achieve that worn look. If you’ve already got something you love but it’s wearing away, get some white paint, go over and sand it down to show the true color below. Or, find special paint for antiquing.
