I love easy how-to projects, especially when the instructions are as clear as black and white.  Reclaiming furniture is satisfying artistically, economically, and environmentally – not to mention, it builds “do-it-myselfing” confidence.  All kinds of items to reclaim can be found on DiggersList like this chair, which can be transformed using the how-to instructions below.  Have a look-see at today’s syndicated article and feel free to email us with your own reclaiming results-the best will be featured on an upcoming blog.
