37: Ways To Modernize Your Outdated Wood Furniture

22 minutes

In Episode #37 of BusyBee Refinishing with MelDidItHerself, I outline different approaches you can take to modernize your outdated wood furniture in your home to give it a new feel, look and vibe. From simple hacks that take seconds to a more thorough makeover, these options will leave you with plenty to consider the next time you look at an old piece of wood furniture in your home and debate whether or not you should buy something new (HINT: you probably shouldn’t!).
