Furniture Finds: Getting the Look for Less
Transform Your Home on a Budget
Purchasing your first home?"whether it's an apartment, condo, or house?"can be both thrilling and costly. After investing in your new place, you might find yourself tightening the purse strings when it comes to furnishing. Here’s how you can achieve a luxurious look without the hefty price tag.
Smart Furniture Shopping Tips
- Be Resourceful: To find quality furniture without overspending, consider buying unfinished or secondhand pieces. With a little effort, you can refinish them and achieve the high-end look you desire at a fraction of the cost.
- Hunt for Bargains: Scour attics, garage sales, and flea markets for hidden gems. Sometimes the best finds are gathering dust in a friend or relative’s attic. Remember, it might not be love at first sight, but look past the surface to see the potential for refurbishment.
- Revive Timeless Pieces: Before bringing home any furniture, inspect it for structural issues like cracks or uneven legs. If the piece is structurally sound, refinishing it can transform it from worn and outdated to beautiful and timeless.
Give Your Furniture a Makeover
- Inspect the Finish: Before stripping away the old finish, identify what you’re dealing with using the cotton ball test. Dampen a cotton ball with acetone nail polish remover, and dab it on an inconspicuous spot. If it sticks or softens, the finish is likely varnish, lacquer, or shellac. Use a product like Formby’s Furniture Refinisher to gently dissolve it. If there’s no reaction, it’s probably paint or polyurethane, which can be removed with Formby’s Paint & Poly Remover.
- Apply the Perfect Finish: Protecting stripped, stained, or bare wood from moisture and wear is crucial. Formby’s Tung Oil Finish offers a warm, hand-rubbed luster that enhances wood’s natural beauty. By hand-rubbing, you avoid streaks and achieve a smooth, even finish. Tung Oil penetrates deeply, safeguarding wood from the inside out.
By being inventive and diligent, you can furnish your new home in style without breaking the bank. With these tips, luxury is within reach!
