Tax time is just around the corner, and you may be wanting to replace some of your existing furniture. You don't have to throw away your old pieces. Repurpose them! If you just want something to work on, you can always find old pieces of furniture at a thrift store or in a garage sale. In Cypress, TX, there are many different places you can go to close to the Carrington at Barker Cypress to find exactly what you need and set about making your new creations. <\/p>\n

Dressers to Shelves\/Bookcases<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Removing the drawers and painting the inside of the dresser will allow you to create a shelving unit or bookcase that is just the right height for a child's room. It can also be used as a decorative piece in the living room or den. If there is no divider between the drawer spaces, use a piece of 1\/2-inch plywood that is cut to size and painted to match the rest of the dresser.<\/p>\n

Beds to Benches<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you have an old bed with a headboard and footboard, cut the footboard in half and attach to each side of the headboard. Use 1×4's or 1×6's that are cut to size and attach them to the footboard "arms" to create the bench. Sand and paint as desired. If you seal it, you can use it on your patio or practically anywhere within your home for a rustic touch.<\/p>\n

Entertainment Centers to Play Houses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

An old entertainment center can easily be turned into a play kitchen. All you need is a little paint, some creativity, and little hooks to hang measuring cups and spoons. There's ample storage space for other tiny cooking utensils as well.<\/p>\n
