Old is New Renew the style of your home with remade treasures  Image courtesy istockphoto You've heard the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure," but you may actually start to believe it when trying to inexpensively reinvent your home's style. You don't need the knack of Oprah's favorite interior designer Nate Berkus to pull off a great look for less. A little imagination, willingness to dumpster dive and some top expert tips will have you turning something old into something new and wonderful. When considering renewing or repurposing found furniture, whether it's from a dumpster or a forgotten area of your attic, interior designer and ASID member Sarah Bernardy-Broman suggests envisioning how the piece will fit into your current environment and lifestyle. "If you can determine what works about the piece and what doesn't, it may be easy to reuse," she says. The look and feel of an entire room can be altered with inexpensive additions or changes. Decorative molding made with wood scraps from a dumpster make any room look "lush and fancy," according to Linda Meyers, who co-authors "Wary Meyers' Tossed and Found: Unconventional Design From Cast-Offs" (Stewart, Tabori, & Chang; 2009) with her husband John. "You can make a simple chair rail on the wall about three feet up, and then wallpaper or paint above it, and paint below it white or make large molding casing-outlines," she says. If you're not the do-it yourself type, search garage sales for artwork, rugs and pillows. "Dining rooms can easily be updated with a new paint color or new accessories, such as artwork and area rugs," Bernardy-Broman says. "Living rooms can be easily updated with a change in pillows. Coordinate lamps by updating the shades to all the same color." Always think about how you can reuse a piece before tossing it. These days many people are updating to flat screens, rendering their armoires useless. Bernardy-Broman suggests repurposing that old piece as storage for linens or children's games and toys. For those who want to be more innovative in renewing old, found items, John and Linda have this advice: Judge how much work is needed. Sometimes it'll be replacing knobs or freshening up a little monogram. Be sure to sketch out what your plan is before you attempt anything, or your most successful project may be hauling it back to a different part of the sidewalk. |
