Marketplace Makeover: Turn Your Clutter into Your Decorating Budget

"I have a house full of old furniture & no money to furnish it, but still want to love my home! What can I do?”
I have been asked this question more times than I can even count!
Enter: the zero-dollar Marketplace Makeover
When my husband and I bought our first house, we had no budget left after a couple of house emergencies to actually decorate it.
But what we had was s a house full of old furniture, hand-me-down decor from friends, and roommates. Let me be clear: none of it was high quality. Most of it was very old, scratched, dinged, or damaged. But I still wanted to see if I could sell off the old pieces to earn some money, and I turned to Facebook Marketplace (FBMP). This is how I inadvertently created the $0 Marketplace Makeover.
This guide is for you if:
You want to create a home you love, but you're not sure where to start
You have an attic (garage, basement, etc) full of furniture and decor
You want to make a chunk of change from your old furniture
You've wanted to sell on Facebook Marketplace, but are intimidated by it
