Do you ever wish that you could get new updated furniture, but you can’t afford it? For a couple of years I have been refinishing furniture, shelving, picture frames, and even my doorknobs! It is an easy and inexpensive way to make your old things look new and updated. I now look at things I see at thrift stores and yard sales completely differently. A coat or two of spray paint is all it takes! There is a spray paint for pretty much any surface so your option are limitless.

Sherri’s simple steps:

Select an appropriate spray paint for the surface you are working with.

Wash the piece of furniture with warm soapy and water and allow it dry completely.

Lightly sand wood furniture prior to painting.

Set up in a well ventilated open area. I have put newspaper down in the driveway and I have even just painted my pieces on the lawn (after a mow or two you will never know)

Stand about 1-2 feet away from the piece and sweep the paint wide. If you get too close you will have lots of drips and runs.

After you get a good 1st coat let it dry completely before going on to the second coat. Most paints actually are dry in an hour or so.

Seal with a clear spray polyurethane or polycrylic, there several options here from matte to gloss.

I bought this old coffee table for $5 and painted it to be used as a train table.

I wish I had a before of this little stand

Magazines are a great resource for finding coupons. Grocery, cosmetics and household coupons, are typically found in woman’s magazines. All You, Woman’s Day, and Good Housekeeping are examples of the type of magazines which carry grocery coupons on a regular basis. Of course coupons for baby items are found in the many magazines geared toward parents. There are a couple of free magazines for parents of babies, Baby Talk and American Baby are great places to find coupons for baby formula. Magazines seem to offer coupons seasonally, so the food coupons are geared towards holiday meals.

Most of the coupons in magazines have expiration dates that are further out so even though they may look the same as the newspaper insert coupon they may expire later. this is something that I realized after I threw away a valuable coupon that wasn’t expired.

Since not everyone wants to subscribe to every magazine there are a couple of ways to get the coupons that you want: Check with your friends, family, and neighbors, they may get coupons that you can use in their magazines. Next time you are at the doctor’s office look in their magazines for coupons, make sure you ask before cutting them out. You might do that same thing at your health club. Watch for abandoned magazines at the bus terminals and airports.

If you have some coupons that you would like to trade, check out the Trading Post on Pinching Your Pennies. We also have a place where people list the coupons that they find in magazines.
