For those of you who don't know I'll explain. Pinterest is an invitation only virtual bulletin board website where you can pin your favorite ideas, pictures, quotes and anything else your heart desires.
It becomes extremely addicting, and serves as a great way to network when trying out DIY projects.
Because of this website I have become interested in antique and secondhand furniture that I can redesign and reupholster. Unfortunately Murphy's Law always applies when I find a piece of furniture I like. I am unprepared to measure the dimensions and become hesitant to buy something because of the size. Today's tip will help measure when in a quick bind.
Tip #43: Checkbook Please!!
All checkbooks are roughly six inches long, so the next time you are somewhere and see a fabulous must-have piece of furniture, pullout your checkbook and start measuring.
Hopefully your DIY fabulous furniture find will be the next big pin on Pinterest!
