📌 📌 📌 A dated thrift-store blanket box gets an updated designer look!
Hello, lovely friends, I’m so happy you’re visiting today! You know that moment in the thrift store when something catches your eye… but you’re not sure about buying it because of the price? This interesting-looking blanket box sat at the Mission Thrift store for weeks, listed at a $100 price point. But once they marked it down 50%, I scooped it up … and then gave it a completely updated look. I think it’s ready to tell a brand-new story in a new home, and I can’t wait to hear what you think!
In today’s furniture makeover, I’m sharing –
✔ How to remove a blanket box lock for safety
✔ The free wood conditioner I used before staining
✔ How to remove and update a wood base
✔ A simple FREE tip to reactivate the scent of an old cedar chest again
… and more!
