Watch The Block's Georgia turn a Gumtree sideboard into a statement piece

The Block's Ronnie and Georgia have plenty of tricks and tips for saving money during a budget renovation, and one of Georgia's favourites is upcycling.

On the second episode of Quick Room Flips, Georgia snags a vintage sideboard from Gumtree and gives it a total overhaul.

To match the modern Hamptons theme of the master bedroom she and Ronnie and renovating, Georgia needs to update the dated piece of furniture.

After a good clean, she simply uses tape to cover the areas where she wants to retain the original paint colour of the vintage sideboard.

Then a quick spray of white paint breathes new life into the piece.

Painting furniture is perfect when you're on a budget because the materials are easily accessible and it doesn't require much time or skill.

The entire piece cost $350 - a fraction of what it would cost to buy a designer sideboard for the space.

Quick Room Flips sees Ronnie and Georgia help families from around Australia overhaul a room in their house for just $3,500 in 24 hours.

Each week Georgia finds a vintage piece of furniture which needs a quick update and upcycles it to match the room and stay within budget.

Once the sideboard is in the finished room it completely matches the new furniture. A few key decor pieces like some artworks help tie the whole space together.
