Boho furniture on a Budget, How to update old furniture for under £10

In this video, we go full Boho furniture on a budget and show anyone how to update old furniture for under £10. We run through the tools we use and what you can do with a £2 pack of acrylic paints and some stencils to transform your old furniture into something you can look at and say "I did that". Follow along as we run through paint options and where to get the best stencil packs to make it easy.

The following is a list of everything we use and what you would need (Maybe) for this project. Now we obviously have most of the things needed so the only costs for us were the paint and the acrylics so we worked out it cost us a whopping £6 to do this or $7.30 for our friends in the USA

Everything else listed includes the costs and where you can get them. All of these things will last you a long time and we feel it is therefore unfair to lump all these costs into one piece as you can use them over and over again.

We hope this video inspires someone who is looking at an old brown piece of furniture to pick up a brush and some paint and do something that will be proud to say "I did that"

Here is the list of products we used, how much they cost and where we get them.

Paint. The paint we used was Guild lane, but Lel recommends if you are just starting out (And even if you are not) to use Rustoleum and she suggested a colour which was fire brick. It costs £13 for a 750ml tin on Amazon and you can get it here: https://amzn.to/3asX9he
