IT'S not secret buying brand new furniture can be expensive, but you'll still need chairs, tables and drawers to complete any room in your home.<\/p>\n

That's why one savvy money saver decided to revamp his living room for free, all by rummaging through his neighbour's rubbish.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Alex Amos, from the US, took to YouTube to show off the transformation of his living room.<\/p>\n

"My living room is falling apart and it needs a new look<\/span>, so I'm going to restore the furniture I find and use it to surprise my family with a new living room," he explained.<\/p>\n

The first mission was to find a new arm chair, which he found on the side of the road.<\/p>\n

The fabric needed a good clean, but after a quick scrub you'd never know it had been left for landfill.<\/p>\n

Next<\/span>, Alex tried to find a coffee table, so hit the road in his car once again and drove to the text town to see if anyone had left anything out.<\/p>\n

He did eventually find a table, but it wasn't in someone garden like he thought – it was in a ditch on the side of the road.<\/p>\n

"It's so beautiful, and most importantly the wood is not rotten," he said.<\/p>\n

The table needed to be sanded down since it was covered in stains and scratches, but after a new coat of varnish it looked as good as new.<\/p>\n

"It took me about six hours, but look at how not only clean it is but how smooth it is too," Alex said.<\/p>\n

The trickiest item on his list to find was a new cabinet, but not once to give up, Alex continued driving<\/span> around local neighbourhoods in search of other people's disguarded furniture.<\/p>\n

Eventually, he stumbled across was seamed to be a console table, but he thought he could make it work.<\/p>\n

Once again, he sanded it down and added some paint he already had in the garage.<\/p>\n

Although there were a few hiccups with his painting method, meaning he had to resand it and start again, it was all worth it in the end.<\/p>\n

The shabby Ikea console table looked completely different with it's fresh green coat, not to mention loads more expensive.<\/p>\n

Although he also wanted to nab a couch for the living room, after three days of driving around he still had no luck, so decided to spruce up the old one he already had instead.<\/p>\n

After he cleaned and polished to old sofa Alex moved in the other furniture he upgraded and surprised his parents with the DIY makeover.<\/p>\n

It's safe to say his family were surprised and loved their new and improved living room set-up.<\/p>\n
