Hello friends! I’m very excited to show you my latest furniture flip, which was was more than a flip- This dresser turned into a full restoration! In this post, I will explain how to restore an antique dresser + remove peeling veneer.

Let’s start at the beginning

Per usual, I find most of my furniture makeovers on Facebook Marketplace. This one was advertised with 2 other dressers for $120. I got him down to $100 for all 3. What a deal right?!? Wellllll, to be honest we probably should have left them there, but hey, we borrowed a truck for these, I’m taking them home.

Good morning! Coming at you today with a super, simple post on how to recover a stool (or chair) with an old rug! Read on to see my Boho Stool Makeover!

Originally I recovered this stool last year with a dropcloth fabric. It was a spur of the moment decision and not exactly what I wanted. Fast forward a year and a ruined rug from Walmart, PSA tassels should never go in the dryer! But was it really ruined? As you can see, the rug has a pretty pattern and great texture, so why not use it to recover an old stool!

• What you’ll need-
• A rug, this is my exact one
• Stool or chair
• Scissors
• Staple gun and staples
• Hot glue gun
