Let’s celebrate Earth Day 2021 with some great tips and tricks for keeping it fresh while keeping it out of the landfill![mk_image src=”https://habitattucson.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/moving-truck_489779-scaled.jpg” image_size=”large”]
Done with it? Do good with it?
When you realize you’re ready to upgrade your dresser, couch, or end tables, don’t toss it! The HabiStore can pick it up AT NO COST and it can live a second life in someone else’s home. Plus, all the proceeds go to building affordable homes in our community. Win-win!2. Update with peel-and-stick wallpaper!
We get excellent desk donations to the HabiStore throughout the year–and you can spice up the look by applying some stick and peel wallpaper. Easy peasy!

3. Freshen up with new paint and hardware!
A tried and true classic–new color and new hardware is like a facelift for furniture. At the HabiStore, you can find great dressers at a great bargain! Plus: we have recycled paint for sale!
And with something as simple as painting the frame and hardware, you can have a really sleek up-to-date look, at a fraction it would cost new.

4. Ditch the skirt!
Ever find a couch for a great price but it looks like it belongs to your grandparents? It’s probably the skirt! It’s super simple to remove and you’ll be AMAZED how sleek and modern it looks afterwards.

5. Level up a look with new cushions.
You score an amazing thrifted find–a table and chairs set for less than half of what you’d pay retail–and the cushions, while functional, look a little tired. It’s super easy to update them and give the whole set new life!
