Transforming a room without buying new furniture, redecorating or changing the walls. In this Rural Refurb episode, I use secondhand furniture, vintage furniture, charity shop finds and DIY furniture makeover techniques to create a completely different look using what I already own.

This home decorating episode includes furniture makeovers, furniture refinishing, Annie Sloan chalk paint, clear wax, dark wax, sanding, distressed finishes, gold spray paint, vintage mirror makeovers, old pine furniture, secondhand home decor, thrifted finds, charity shop furniture, antique furniture, upcycling ideas and home styling.

After moving a large French dresser into another room, existing furniture is moved around the house and reused in this bedroom. A sideboard, a £48 auction chest of drawers and other old furniture pieces are refinished and restyled to work together without repainting the bedroom walls or ceilings.

Projects and decorating ideas in this episode include:

• secondhand furniture makeovers
• vintage furniture restoration
• DIY furniture refinishing
• Annie Sloan chalk paint furniture
• clear wax and dark wax finishes
• distressed furniture techniques

The only significant new purchase is bedding, which can also be reused on other beds around the house. The remaining furniture, accessories and decorative pieces are reused, moved, refinished or transformed.
