I love giving old things a new life like this gal in this tutorial does!
Besides that, older things have a tendency to hold up better than the new things.
It just seems like that were made better.

This is strictly my opinion.
At the heart of budget decorating, or DIY decorating, is transforming old things into something fabulous.
Did I mention, you are also saving the world by repurposing?
It gives me such a great feeling to give an old piece a new life!
