The Kind of "Distress" You Want

So, I have run across this question multiple times.

"Where can I find cheap furniture to add to my room or

decor?

Here is your answer. Distress your own furniture! This will save you hundreds of dollars in truth, and it is not a hard technique to learn. Plus, you can get the colors you want in your furniture to match those new slip covers you purchased for your sofa and love seat.

You can also purchase furniture inexpensively at yard sales, flea markets, Goodwill, and Salvation Army and distress it for a fraction of the cost of buying new pieces. Get creative and cause yourself a bit of distress! This link will take you to the best direction I have found on how to distress your furniture! Best of all, the refinishing process is using paint instead of messy and hard to deal with stains.
