My husband lost his job three years ago and we had to upcycle our home to put it on the market with very limited funds. Our house needed a cheap facelift to make it more appealing, so I mostly used paint and laser-cut items, as we have a CNC Laser machine.
I think our dining room was the room with the biggest transformation and our house was sold within 12 days after listing it. We couldn’t afford any new furniture, so I used paint and laser-cut effects on our old furniture. My husband made the laser-cut boxes to hide the electrical distribution box and the WiFi modems. He also fitted the new laser-cut light fitting.
