Chair back into picture frame (or mirror, or cork board, or dry erase board, or…)

We've been inspired!

As a furniture and home accessories consignment store, we want our customers to feel inspired every time they come in, without having to spend an arm and a leg on redecorating.

Today, we’ve come across a repurposing idea (thanks to allthingsthrifty.com) SO great, thrifty, and inexpensive, we just couldn't keep it to ourselves!

You will need:

- An old chair

- A saw

- A razor blade

- A can of spray paint

- Some elbow grease

- A husband (optional)

Step One: Go up to your attic and dust off that 3-legged chair you just haven’t been able to part with for one reason or another (Don’t have one of those lying around? We’ve got lots of super inexpensive chairs here at Divine!)

Step Two: Get to work sawing off the top of the chair, scraping, sanding, or sawing off whatever is inside (i.e. basket weave, etc.) sanding the edges, and spray painting it to your color of choice.

Step Three: Ta da! Look at what you’ve created! We’re so proud of you….now use that creative mind of yours to decide what to put inside of it!

Pictures...or a mirror...or a chalk/cork/dry erase board...or...

Let us know how yours turned out!

DIY Bench

Have an extra dresser sitting in storage that you just can’t seem to part with?

Did you find a super-great deal at your local consignment shop, but you just don’t have the use (or room) for another dresser?

Well we found a great idea….SO great, in fact, we just couldn’t keep it to ourselves!

Our repurposing idea of the day-- Turning your dresser into a bench (with storage!)

Once your done, this piece could go anywhere! Your entryway, backyard, living room, bedroom, kitchen...the possibilities are endless!

Yippeee! Now get to work! And when you’re done, we’d love to see your masterpiece!

Accepting Furniture - Yes or No

We are always so proud to hear our customers compliment our store! Often we hear things like...

       "not like other thrift stores"

                                   "what unique pieces"

         "your furniture is in such good shape"

                                 "it smells good in here"

We strive to make our special shop full of items that are in great condition, stylish, and priced well.  In other words, something we would want to have in our own homes!

Things that don't sell:

- wood pieces with significant scratches or missing a leg (kinda self-explanatory)

- chipped glass (trying to avoid the lawsuits)

- upholstery with animal hair or ripped (sorry, Fido & Fifi)

- uber-trendy pieces that are way out of style (think 80s bachelor)

So, occassionally we have to say "no" to some pieces, but it is with our customers' best interests in mind!!
