Over the years, more and more people have been getting their paint jobs poorly done. They’re ruining excellent pieces of wooden furniture, such as coffee tables and mirrors.

There’s a counter-movement against those who commit crimes online. It’s called “Reverse Pinterest.” Many of these are featured on a Reddit community dedicated to fighting back.

This online community’s ‘About’ page shows how it’s dedicated to showcasing handcrafted wood pieces that have been saved from Pinterest’s paint hell.

Although it’s not the biggest community on Reddit, 24K members contribute a steady stream of content. They also produce a lot of their posts. So continue scrolling and check out their most popular posts.

While it’s not for everyone, second-hand furniture can be a great addition to a home, and it can be very cost-effective. According to interior designer Deidre O’Connell, there are a variety of ways that people can improve their chances of finding a great find.

While doing your part to fight climate change, you can also save a lot of money by choosing to buy quality furniture, which can take longer than usual due to global material shortages and shipping delays.

Due to the increasing number of people looking for unique and beautiful home furnishings, many are turning to local vintage and pre-owned finds. These items can enhance their homes or create a unique look.

As a designer, O’Connell avoids making anything too perfect or too dated. Instead, she likes to mix old and new. She likes bright rooms with interesting touches and modern schemes.

She has listed where she can find old treasures, such as furniture, bric-a-brac, and more. Many second-hand marketplaces in Ireland allow people to sell their goods and services. Some of these include Done Deal and Adverts.

Use the Internet to find alternatives to your local store. In the search bars, look for brands such as Bo Concept, Neptune, Casey’s Furniture, or Ventura. These stores carry items that are worth a lot of money.

1st Dibs is a leading platform for finding and buying vintage designer products. It features a variety of categories and allows interior designers to create their unique online galleries.

You’ll likely see this item on the pages of design magazines. However, since it’s often not cheap, it’s a good idea to start your search for vintage designer furniture at “price low to high.”

There are also various shops and markets around you, such as charity shops, antiques, and salvage yards. Before you visit these places, please do some research to find out where they are located.

According to O’Connell, there is an excellent sub-culture within the second-hand furniture industry. He said that, in his experience, people tend to have a funny story to tell, and they’ll also encounter some hilarious characters.

Some things look better without paint. According to Kelli Ellis, an interior designer, you should not pick up a brush to do it.

If you’re planning on painting your furniture, avoid over-slapping the old paint. According to Ellis, it can lead to disaster. Instead, consider the best paint options for your home.

Painting furniture is a skill that requires a lot of patience and practice. Attacking a piece of wood with a spray can or paintbrush is also wrong.

While many videos on YouTube show how to paint furniture, the designer noted that there is much more to it than just a short explanation. People who rely on the Internet to fix their furniture end up with pieces they don’t want to keep.

According to Ellis, although it is fashionable to paint furniture now, trends can change with the wind. For instance, if a piece of furniture seems good now, it can quickly become dated in a couple of years.

Stoprocent Architekci: House K is one of our projects that had waited the longest for its construction. We started working on it in 2012, yet the house has just been finished in 2022.

In the meantime, the project and the construction have encountered some adventures. The original concept assumed that the building would be part of a larger complex, which was intended to be a multigenerational family residence.

  • The Crypt Of San Magno, Anagni, Italy. 🇮🇹

An extraordinary example of Italian medieval religious art lies hidden in the historic town of Anagni, located about an hour southeast of Rome. Also known as the City of Popes (four Popes hailed from the town), Anagni is crowned by its beauty. Romanesque cathedral dating back to the turn of the 11th and 12th centuries CE.

Under the cathedral floor, the magnificent crypt of Saint Magnus provides an extraordinary example of 13th-century medieval religious art with its different cycles and representations, decorating a space that measures over 500 square meters.

Three craftsmen known as the “masters of Anagni” are believed to have been responsible for the different cycles, which represent the story of man’s salvation from creation to the end of time, with apocalyptic overtones, and several walls are adorned with stories of local saints and martyrs.
