Not only is repurposing old materials extremely eco-friendly, it’s easy on your wallet. It may take a bit of extra elbow grease, but the end result is undoubtedly worth it.
If you need help finding wood to repurpose, head to your local lumber yard or hardware store to look for scraps, which are usually set at a low price. Otherwise, utilize materials you no longer need—think old fence posts or scraps from a past project. You can also find reclaimed wood on local buy/sell/trade websites for cheap (or even free) or by asking local businesses if they have any used pallets they’re looking to part with.
From there, you’ll need to put your handyman skills to work. If you don’t have any, find a simple reclaimed wood tutorial to start with, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Your local lumber store is a great resource. You’re sure to find the perfect project for you in this roundup of impressive repurposed wood tutorials.
