Spring is nearly upon us and it is time to spring into action! While we are all familiar with the idea of “spring cleaning,” what if we told you there’s a way you can take it up a notch? Letgo is the ultimate app to help you declutter your home, while also making a profit.

Updating your space can cost a fortune. That’s why we partnered with letgo to not only show you the cheap, hidden treasures you can find on the app, but also provide you with easy hacks to create statement pieces for your home.

Selling pieces on letgo puts a little extra cash in your pocket and lets you make room for new decor that will transform your space! Because honestly, the stuff we have isn’t always the right stuff. Your old office chair that has been sitting in the garage, unused, for months can be transformed into someone else’s chic seat. Your neighbor may no longer need that window panel, but you can turn it into a functional photo frame that will look perfect in your updated entry way.

Letgo makes it simple to buy and sell locally. Join the millions of others who have downloaded letgo and start selling and browsing for free, today!
