Thrifting Treasures: Transforming a Bashed Piece of Wood into a DIY Dollhouse Nightstand

  • *AD, this video is sponsored by Cricut. Join me on a thrifting adventure as I visit the SVP second-hand furniture shop in Navan, County Meath, in search of a unique piece to upcycle. With a budget of €25, I'm determined to find something that has the potential to transform into a charming dollhouse nightstand.
    I was inspired by the dollhouse nightstand from Pottery Barn and At Home With Ashley and decided to create my very own version using my Cricut machine.

    Thank you for this wonderful video. The past view days I've been contemplatie to get the cricut maker 3. And the inspiration I got from this video, seeing the use of stickers, sealed the deal. My cat is going to have such fancy scratching furniture 😊 obviously ill take the glue used by cricut into consideration for his health. But at the very least I can use shapes from cricut as templates.
