2: Why Choose Refinished Furniture Over New?

Season 1 · Episode 2

jeudi 9 juin 2022Duration 20:19

In Episode #2 of Busybee Refinishing with MelDidItHerself, I wanted to talk more high level about the concept of upcycling furniture instead of purchasing new, manufactured furniture. We'll talk about the F word (no, not that F word-- F-waste!), just how much furniture ends up in the landfill every year, and how choosing refinished will help to sustain the environment and be more sustainable.

We'll discuss how vintage furniture is often more well-built, and carries a history with it that tells a story. I'll also walk you through the intentionality that goes behind every sale of a piece of refinished or painted furniture, which will make you feel even better about supporting a local business in your community, while getting an amazing furniture piece for your home.

Let me know over on Instagram (@MelDidItHerself) on the Episode 2: Why Choose Refinished Over New? post why you love choosing upcycled furniture instead of buying new, and the benefits of doing so... I'd love to hear what you think!
