Bedroom Makeover on a Budget

Salvaging Furniture

• When bargain hunting, buy it when you see it, but be sure to take room measurements first. This dresser was found at a salvage store for $25.
• Before making over any piece of salvaged furniture, be sure to clean it well. We took the old hardware off and filled the holes with wood filler before resurfacing the chest. Once the wallpaper was dry, we installed the new hardware with an electric drill.
