Over the past years, more and more tasteless DIY'ers have been ruining perfectly fine coffee tables, dressers, and other pieces with lousy paint jobs.
However, there's now a counter-movement, dedicated to fighting their crimes. And many of them can be seen on the subreddit 'Reverse Pinterest.'
According to its 'About' page, this online community is dedicated to "showcasing handcrafted wood pieces that have been rescued from Pinterest-paint hell and restored to their original glory."
Maybe it's not the biggest subreddit, but its 24K members provide a steady stream of content (much of which is produced by their own effort), so continue scrolling and check out their most popular posts.
