I'm more into furniture refurbishment these days. Unfortunately, I don't have the chance to actually have my hands on it because I'm now living in a tiny apartment. Stuff that I can rescue from staircase landings cannot fit into our apartment :'( *wails* I need to find my dream house at a dream price. I don't think it's ever going to happen this year. Sighs.
Anyway, i would like to introduce you to one of my favourite DIY blogs.
Centsationalgirl is from Northern California. Full time mom. Part time attorney. Bargain hunter, salvager, incurable DIYer. She proclaims to be on a quest for diamond style on a dime, and she's all out to make her world fabulous, for less, one DIY project at a time.
She has the same motto as I do! I'm so happy to know that I'm not abnormal. :) Centsationalgirl would buy really cheap stuff from thrift shops or salvation army and transform them into really pretty things that I'd never imagined. The key that made me HIGH here is CHEAP to AMAZING. I like! Having said that, I think the Salvation Army in Singapore sucks, big time. They suck because they have a roomful of donated stuff, stuck in the room for so long. The very reason why they're stuck is because the staff priced them too high. Who in the right mind would buy a used and old item that's priced at 20% below the market price of a new item???? Dumbass!!! Learn from the Americans. Priced reasonably so that you can make room for more donated items, can?
Back to Centsationalgirl. Here are some "before and after" photos of the stuff that she transformed.
She bought the mirror at $2, table at $5, candlestick set at $3, silver cup at $2. Of course all in USD but still very good buys! You don't reckon? See what she did to them...
It's fantabulous!
Other projects:
