There's something about the start of a new year that always has people itching for new beginnings. And as the Kon Mari craze sets in and the redecorating but takes over, there are bound to be quite a few things in your home you're ready to be rid of. But what if, instead of tossing these into a dumpster, you could sell these unwanted items for some spare change? While we're all about incorporating antique hand-me-downs and cleverly reimagining tired furniture (reupholstery, new stains, or a fresh coat of paint can work wonders!), if you really want to let a piece go, you might as well earn some cash for it, right?
