Are you looking for a way to give back to your community and to bless families in need? Before I proceed, let me add that I am on board with this awesome project that was the brainchild of Julia, from 551 East Furniture Design. I was thrilled when she asked me to participate!
You are invited to participate in a special link party where you can link up a piece of furniture you have restored and then donate this furniture to a charity of your choice such as Goodwill, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity Restores, local church groups, etc.
This is a great chance to give to those in need and even give back to the stores that have given us so much. How many of you have purchased pieces from the above places only to paint and turn around and sell for profit? I know that is part of the business, and this is a great chance to turn around a piece of furniture and donate it. I thought I would share with you one of my favorite re-does that was purchased at the Habitat ReStore in Baltimore, MD. For some reason, I have found French pieces a-plenty at this ReStore, such as this sideboard.
After giving it some elbow grease and love, I turned it into this…
After some work, it was worth much more than I paid, and the profit from it could be put to good use in the hands of these charitable organizations. Here are all the details.
