Do you want to refresh the interior of a house or apartment with fresh ideas? Well, then in this article you can find one of them. Recently, the public enthusiasm for vintage and eco- style in the interior has been actively developed. It looks quite original and tasteful. Some companies that produce furniture, specifically subject it to the aging procedure, so that it looks rarity. Do not necessarily immediately rush into the furniture store, for similar interior items. You can do much more cunningly and create this style with your own hands, using old boards. It often happens that we store in the storeroom or garage old wooden shelves, chairs, doors, which served us well, but it's still a pity to throw out. You can give these things a second life, making furniture from old boards with your own hands.
Furniture from boards by own hands
Boards for furniture can be obtained by dismantling old cabinets, chairs, shelves, drawers, bedside tables. From old boxes are obtained excellent shelves for books or shoes, stands for pots with flowers.

By the way about it, from the doors of old kitchen furniture, boards of which have a vintage appearance, you can make an excellent flower stand, which can be installed at the entrance to the house.
You can make an effort and with your own hands to assemble a new bedside table or chest of drawers that are obtained after dismantling the old furniture or wall covering.
You do not need to be a master of furniture, in order to make furniture from old boards with your own hands. You can, for example, the old door, put on four wooden pads or stacks of glued together old and unnecessary books and you will get an amazing and original table.
A very comfortable and original table can be made with an old baby crib. As a countertop, you can use glass or the same door, provided that it will not weigh much. With the removable side of the crib, you can make a shelf under the countertop.
From the board of the old door you will be able to make an independent piece of furniture, something like a suspension for a mirror with shelves, which will be conveniently located in the hallway.
And the old grand piano, without looking at the boards, can be applied in a most shocking way, from it you can make such a piece of furniture as a bookcase.
Master-class on improving the design of a table of old boards with their own hands
Let's consider in detail one of the ways of transforming old furniture, namely the countertops of the old table.
- For work we need an old table, a tile, a tile glue and a spatula.
- Gradually apply glue on the surface of the table with a notched trowel. Do not apply too much, as the glue quickly cools.
- Start spreading the tile. Tiles of different colors can be laid out with a Christmas tree pattern. Joints should be minimal and not filled with glue.
- We spread the tiles row by row, with small joints. This will help avoid the "runaway" pattern at the end of the work.
- Wait until the glue dries and proceed to grouting the joints.
Congratulations, you just managed to give your own life a second life to a table of old boards.
