It’s always nice to freshen up your bedroom with brand new bed sheets. They provide a new, refreshing look! But what do you do with the old ones? For starters, do not toss them. Bed sheets have a lot longer lifeline than you may think.
Bed sheets can be repurposed and transformed in a number of ways that can be helpful all around the house. Here are a few ideas for you:
