Most of these pieces are too visually fussy for my taste but I like the gold geometric and deco-esque pieces. I do, however, think this is a great idea because anything that breathes life into an old piece of furniture and gives it a second life is better than it going to a landfill.

I like to throw in one highly-decorative piece among my other less fussy items. I don’t know that I’d want to embellish something I saw all the time, but in a guest room or powder room, I think it would be fun!

What a great idea to turn an old china cabinet into an aviary.

Beloved and I have upcycled many pieces of furniture over the years. It’s not always perfectly successful, but the process is really fun!
