What tools do I need for upcycling furniture?

You'll need some essential tools like a sander, paintbrushes, a staple gun, and a drill. Do you have any specific projects in mind?

I'm thinking about turning an old dresser into a bookshelf.

That sounds like a great project! For that, you'll also need wood glue and clamps to secure the shelves. Do you need tips on how to start?

Yes, what’s the first step I should take?

Start by removing any hardware and sanding down the surfaces to prepare for painting or staining. Safety first!

Thanks! How do I choose the right paint for furniture?

Look for paint specifically designed for furniture, like chalk paint or acrylic. They provide a durable finish and are easy to work with.
