How to protect new outdoor furniture?
December 29th, 2008
Pui Yi H asked:
I just bought a couple of natural color rocking chairs. They look like they’ve been stained and not sealed with some protective treatment. What’s the best product to use to protect my rockers from fading in the sun, the rain, and general cracking due to possible weather damaging?

Any advice on refinishing a roll top desk?
December 29th, 2008jewel girl asked:
I bought a small roll top desk at a second hand store. It is in good shape, but I want to refinish it (strip paint, sand, and repaint with an anitqued look). I have no idea on how to address the roll part of the desk. Is there anyway to take the roll off/out and get into the little crevices? Any help would be much appreciated, since I don’t have any experience with refinishing furniture.

have blonde 50’s collection. dining room china cabinet & buffet.want them to be deep rich chocolate brown.Should I paint brown & then stain & coat with clear polyurethan?

jessi v asked:
Nothing special, just cheap. Me and my boyfriend just got a house with a patio, and we want a table and chairs for out there. The cheapest thing I found at Wal-Mart was like 150 and the table was tiny. I can’t even find just a plastic table and chairs. We live in Western PA, I’m hoping theres a secret used store or something someone might know about:) lol

what kind of sealant do you use on latex painted furniture?
December 29th, 2008Alisha asked:
I refinished several pieces of furniture, but Im worried about it getting scratched and causing it to peel. I sanded, used primer and two coats of high quality latex paint. Just wondering if there is anything to keep it from getting to scratched or peeling

Outdoor furniture question?
December 29th, 2008
Hilary M asked:
I’m looking for outdoor furniture for the patio and have found a set that I really like and is reasonably priced. It is made of kiln-dried hardwood, not teak, so I am wondering how bad it is to leave some of it outdoors over the winter. We live in CT so winters can be bad here. While I will probably be able to store some of it indoors, I’m just not sure if we have room to move everything indoors for the winter. I would obviously cover everything with furniture covers if left outdoors, but it would likely sit in some snow at some point. Will it be destroyed? I’m going to look for other options if you all think it’s a bad idea. Thanks in advance for your advice!
I would take it inside as I know that would extend the life of it, unfortunately, that just isn’t an option for me…we just don’t have room for it. We are trying to build a shed for some of it but the town is giving us grief…that’s a whole other story though…so I’m not counting on that as a storage space as of now.
