Wallpapered/Stenciled Furniture

Okay, we know what you are thinking. 

"Wallpaper….really Divine Consign? That is soooo 1972."

Not so quick, missy! We’re not telling you to wallpaper your entire house  (that could be a little disastrous…)We're just encouraging you to (tastefully) play with pattern!

If you take a leeeeetle bit of your favorite fancy patterned wall paper…

…and add an item in your home that just needs a little "sprucing"…

You end up with  a super adorable and fun (and DIY..aka cheap!) updated piece of furniture, like this!

Alright now get to work you crafty-young-thing, you! We’d love to see your finished creations.

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!

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!
