Today I will show you how to quickly and using simple tools refurbish a pouf. Such poufs are often given away for free on olx. The new ones in stores cost quite a bit, so it’s worth trying a small DIY project and making them yourself. It took me maximum an hour to make one.

Weird Used Furniture Stories

Some time ago, my grandmother’s apartment, who now lives in a senior home, had to be quickly emptied. It was a very difficult experience because normally such clearance is done after a person’s departure. Here, however, the person is still alive but most likely will not return to their home. There was no mourning, but things needed to be removed. The emotions that accompanied me and my parents in those two days were incredibly strong and heavy. We filled a whole van with furniture, and unpacking them took us additional time. After energetically cleansing these items with white sage, I began bringing them into my home. I was ready to use them. Also, remember about occupational health and safety when you plan to bring used items into your space. Unfortunately, I learned this fairly recently, but immediately appreciated this practice. I threw away some acquired items without any regret, as they couldn’t be cleansed. Despite efforts, they still emanated the heavy energy of their previous owners and places.
Apart from the furniture, which I will write about in other posts, I brought two ottomans that I remember from my childhood. My grandmother kept yarn in them, among other things, which I used to make dolls for myself.

Evaluation of the condition

The poufs were in a decent condition – only the uninteresting upholstery on the seats wore out. Today they have gained official power and have a new life!
Sometimes you may also need to upholster the sides of the base. The rules are the same, so you will definitely manage 🙂

TOOLS

Tacker – electric and manual (because it handles different types of staples)
Hammer – for nailing down staples
Scissors
Screwdriver/drill
Upholstery fabric – mine was for pennies from 2nd hand shop
