WSVN — Don't throw away that old furniture! Join makeover maestro Martin Amado as he teaches us how a $5 investment can make something old appear brand new.
Martin Amado: "Christy, I love how we used these ottomans as coffee tables. How long have you had them for?"
Christy: "A couple of years."
Martin Amado: "Well, they offer you storage, which is great with kids around."
Christy: "Definitely."
Martin Amado: "But, I did notice that they're a little bit scuffed up here."
Christy: "Yes."
Martin Amado: "You don't have to throw them away. You don't have to use paint, because using these furniture markers, we're going to give it what I call a furniture face-lift!"
Christy: "Oh, awesome!"
Martin Amado: "Now, Christy, these are made for furniture, but in your case, because the tray is black, you can even use a black permanent marker."
Martin Amado: "So, this works just as great. Isn't that, like, great?!"
Christy: "It looks great! Yeah!"
Martin Amado: "So, instead of seeing the tray this color, like it was before, now it just looks brand new! So we saved you a ton of money."
Christy: "Yes, you did!"
Martin Amado: "I would say, easily 100 bucks."
Christy: "Yes!"
Martin Amado: "So, for a $5 solution, can't beat it!"
Martin Amado: "So, this is my gift to you!"
Christy: "Awesome, thank you!"
Martin Amado: "You're welcome! Of course, you can keep your own black marker. Did you find this tip helpful?"
Christy: "I did!"
Martin Amado: "We'll have more great tips like these on every segment of 'Room for Improvement.' Thanks for joining on the web at wsvn.com."
