HOW TO MODERNIZE DATED FURNITURE If your home is filled with dingy or dated looking furniture, you might be wondering if there’s anything you can do to spruce it up without spending a fortune to replace it. Giving your existing furniture a makeover before you list your home for sale is actually a win-win situation. Not only does it make your home look cleaner and more appealing to potential buyers, you get to take the updated pieces with you when you move to your new home! The first way to update old furniture is to paint or refinish it. If the piece is a high quality wood piece in good condition, consider sanding and staining it to match its original color. If it ’s very banged up or made of something other than solid wood – such as MDF or other composite material, consider priming and then painting it white, grey or another color that matches your space. SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT SPRING Think you know spring? Well, here are three lesser-known facts you may be unaware of. – On the first day of spring, a person at the North Pole would see the sun skimming across the horizon, beginning six months of uninterrupted daylight. A person at the South Pole would see the sun skimming across the horizon, signaling the start of six months of darkness. – According to Greek myth, the return of spring coincides with the return of Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, who is the goddess of plants and fertility. – Every year on the first day of spring, people in Poland gather to burn an effigy and throw it in the river to bid winter farewell.

Next up, change the hardware. There are so many hardware options out there it might feel a bit overwhelming, but the best way to go about it is to choose something that compliments the lines of the piece. If it has sleek, straight lines, go with square or rectangle hardware. If it has rounded corners or curves, pick something circular or oval. And don’t underestimate the role good staging can do. Get rid of any clutter and create one or two small vignettes on top of, or next to, your pieces. Use items you already have such as books, candles and vases to add visual interest.
