I found many treasures in the attic of my childhood home, including this Eastlake Victorian style bed, which I refinished as a teenager, under my grandmother's tutelage. It's been with me my whole life.

Boy, removing staples from old furniture is labor intensive, LOL. Meditative, though. Have been trying to take some time outside in sunlight (what brief sunlight we get) to do this. Hopefully will be done before the fabric arrives. #furniture #refinishing

Yeah, I think I'm achieving a nice glossy sheen on this table top.

I got the first coat of water-borne urethane on this table today. Four more to go, 24 hours apart, with sanding in between. I think it's going to look nice! It's maple, and the finish I'm using claims it will not yellow like regular urethane. It's also super-low voc. It's whey-based! Easiest cleanup of any coating I've ever used. #refinishing #furniture #urethane #maple #table

It's a BOX! In point of fact, it is my box. It was a thrift store find that I stripped and refinished. #CreatedbyCat #resinart #furnitureflip #refinishing #makeoldthingsnew

This is a wooden box I stripped and refinished.   Key features include lace and black wash stripes and black with copper embellishments made with molds by Zuri Designs!  It is photographed outside on a sidewalk in front of leafy green foliage.   I love this box and kept it for myself.This is a wooden box I stripped and refinished.

It had heavy green industrial paint and a raised but broken duck element on the front.   The box was pretty beat up and needed a complete strip and refinish.

Took a long weekend to do whatever the heck I want to do….which turns out to be repairing/refinishing an wooden antique tool chest and vegetable gardening.

This is the latest piece I’ve refinished. I’m not the first one to bring it back as I could see the work done before me as I sanded and reconstructed it. I used guilding wax on parts of the legs to highlight the floral leaf pattern. The inlaid gold wire on top was done for the original piece. I am always so impressed by the original craftsmanship when I work on these. For reference, it’s about a cubic foot. Not sure if its original use. #DIY #refinishing

Does anyone on here have any experience with #refinishing #science #lab benches? Most are #epoxy #resin (very flat and smooth, softer) but some are #phenol (slight textured, harder & lighter). Flinn sells an epoxy product, but I have no idea if it’s any good. Please boost for visibility! #lablife #proflife #chemistry #biology #research #chemiverse

I've never refinished furniture before but I have a gorgeous set given to me 20+ years ago from my aunt I'm refinishing.

This is the latest refinishing project. An old chest of drawers from the #1960s. I kept the hardware and have a few small bits to finish but I’m pleased with it so far. #DIY #refinishing #KeepsMeOutOfTrouble

We have had this little side table in our basement for too many years. It’s kidney-shaped and has 3 legs. It has been painted by someone else at least twice. First green and then white. I’m finally taking the paint off to see what it really looks like and decide what to do with it next. Will share a photo when I’ve got all the paint off it. #diy #1970 #furniture #refinishing

I found this chest of drawers on a street with "free" on it, so grabbed it. It had been covered in a thick, ugly khaki / brown solid paint, and the original brown stain under that (you can still see a bit on the top there - will have another go at dissolving it away with ethanol). I have sanded it fairly smooth, but want to get one grade smoother.

What should I do with it now?

There's a rough view. I mean the dovetails aren't together yet and I think I need more curve on those side pieces,but that's the general idea.

Small cabinet, unfinished.

Cabinet Refinishing in Milton

wetpaintservices.com/

A cooking area requires a great deal of woodwork and unless you get it carried out in a streamlined way, the luxurious touch isn't possible. Apart from Cabinet Refinishing in Milton, the standard structure of the cabinets needs to be made with premium wood. It is essential to pick the wood that can resist the weather results and the overall structure of cabinets must also be created as per the current trends.
