Stuff You'll Love: Dining Room Makeover on a Budget

Unfinished Business

If you’re looking to save some serious cash on a new piece of wooden furniture, go natural. Unfinished pieces, such as this dining table, are much less expensive than their painted and stained cousins.

All you have to do is customize the piece to fit your style: Paint it matte black (or even aqua), stain it, or distress it in antique white, and you’ll be saving hundreds of dollars.
