Even Furniture Deserves a Second Chance

Life is about second chances and new beginnings, right? Why shouldn’t this apply to our furniture as well? Furniture that is old, not in style, dented and scratched is given away, sold at a garage sale or put out on the curb. It is neglected and rejected. Have you ever felt like that as well? Over the last year I’ve been on a journey to discover “Lauren Remade” by fixing the dents and scratches my heart has experienced. Now when I look at these neglected pieces of furniture I see their potential and possibility, just like I see in my own heart! With a little TLC and a fresh coat of paint they are given new life. All it takes is someone to look past their flaws and believe in what they can become. Take a look at my current project: a weather damaged, cheap IKEA patio set that has seen better days. This summer my back patio needed some color and a spot to sit and drink coffee while I watch my daughter play in the back yard.
