It’s a pretty familiar scenario– Grandma asks if you’d like her old silver plated tea set. It’s not your style, and you know you’ll never use it, but what are you to do? Sure, you can let it collect dust in the attic, or drop it off at Goodwill to just be rid of it…. But why not turn it into dinner for two? 

What about that fancy silverware set that you found while cleaning out a late family member’s home? It sits around in a cabinet all year until Thanksgiving (maybe), and you’ve never taken the time to polish it properly– why not transform that old set into a new water heater? Or a down payment on a new car?
