Did you do something enjoyable this weekend?

I see LinkedIn posts with recommendation…present extra of a private aspect.

I’ve been refinishing furnishings for about 2 years now. I attempt to discover items which can be cheap, in want of just a little love, scratched, broken, water stains, lacking {hardware}, or headed for the landfill. If it’s stable wooden, I do know I could make it lovely once more.

This nightstand was $8.99 at a thrift retailer. The stain worn off on the highest. It was hidden behind different furnishings on a shelf. The legs appeared to be unsteady. Two of the steel items on the underside have been lacking, so I eliminated them.

The video is the beginning of the method. Using an variable orbital sander to take away the outdated stain (utilizing 60 grit sandpaper). Instagram exhibits movies of a extra glamourous aspect. Maybe sooner or later, I’ll strive that. If you’re sanding, it will get actually soiled, so needed to point out that.

I used to be solely capable of end sanding the highest this weekend, since, I had plans. I snuck in about an hour on Sunday morning to work on the nightstand and some different items.

Safety first: gloves, face masks, security goggles, air flow.

I get the identical feeling when refinishing furnishings that I get after I discover a terrific candidate. It’s adrenaline, doing one thing you like to do. I’m fortunate I discovered a occupation that energizes me.
