Repurposed furniture adds a whole lot of personality to a room, especially ones that are connected aesthetically like those you’ll find in your condo. To give you an idea, might we suggest turning an old dresser you owned or thrifted into a lovely bench? Here’s how: \n \nWhat you’ll need: \n●\tDrill \n●\tReciprocating Saw \n●\t¾ Fiberboard \n●\tWainscoting \n●\tPaint with the color of your choice \n*Measurements vary depending on your drawer size. \n \nDirections: \n1.\tTake the top off, including the first two rows of drawers, using a drill and reciprocating saw, then cut off the two remaining uprights on the left-hand side. \n\n2.\tNail a piece of ¾ fiberboard across the frame on top of the old drawer rail. Then, put 1x4s around the edge, with one across the center for support. Bonus tip: Add wainscoting around the back for an added touch. \n\n3.\tAdd a top rail of 1x3s and sand over the edges to smooth it out. \n\n4.\tPaint your dresser-turned-bench with your favorite color and add your final touches such as putting a foam pad and/or pillow covers on top to provide your guests with a comfy and homey atmosphere once they enter your condo.","optimizedContentImg":{"childImageSharp":{"gatsbyImageData":{"layout":"constrained","backgroundColor":"#f8e8e8","images":{"fallback":{"src":"/static/33b9402238ac5eb2749425bd86ea7509/b943a/1673349281487-452437-8oh554onjor.webp","srcSet":"/static/33b9402238ac5eb2749425bd86ea7509/f8095/1673349281487-452437-8oh554onjor.webp 150w,\n/static/33b9402238ac5eb2749425bd86ea7509/22003/1673349281487-452437-8oh554onjor.webp 300w,\n/static/33b9402238ac5eb2749425bd86ea7509/b943a/1673349281487-452437-8oh554onjor.webp 600w","sizes":"(min-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw"},"sources":[]},"width":600,"height":847}}},"optimizedContentImg1":null,"optimizedContentImg2":null,"optimizedContentImg3":null,"optimizedContentImg4":null,"message":null,"type":"component1","video":null},{"caption":null,"caption1":null,"caption2":null,"caption3":null,"caption4":null,"title1":null,"title2":null,"title":"Give your closet a makeover ","description1":null,"description2":null,"description":"We all have that one closet in our bedroom or living room where things go out but never back in the way they’re supposed to.
