Outdoor furniture question?

outdoor furniture
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.

shad asked:


I want to paint a kitchen table and chairs. They are oak, were painted white with a natural wood table top and chair seats.I want to change the white parts to black, and refinish the table top and chair seats to a dk. walnut with a little red in the stain. I don`t want to have to do this again for as long as possible. I would rather do it right, and have it last. What course of action should I take to prepare for the painting? Also, what kind of paint should I use? Please walk me through this, because I **** making mistakes. Ha Thanks in advance.

It’s cleaned with warm, soapy water every day to no avail. Should I strip it and refinish it? HELP. You can also take your fingernail and scrap the top off. It’s gross. Our second table from this company with the same problem. Thanks in advance

Help with trim color in bedroom (yellow walls/antique black furniture/oak floors)?

antique furniture
tghad asked:


I recently purchased a new bedroom set (an antique black color) and am trying to redo the room before it arrives. I’m hoping to paint the walls a buttery yellow color, and I have oak colored hardwood floors. My question is what color would you recommend painting all of the trim (fairly wide trim along the floors, around all windows, doors, and the hope is for crown molding eventually)?? We usually like the starkness of white trim, however it seems as if it would be rather jarring against the black furniture. Any assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

LizzyBeeWsU asked:


I have a coffee table made with wood veneer and one day I was burning candles on it and I accidentally kicked the table and wax splattered all over it! I’ve scratched some of it off, but I’m afraid I’ll scratch off the finish! Is there an easier way to get it off? I’d really appreciate any advice!! Thanks in advance!

How do I make an old surfboard into a coffee table?

Friday, February 29th, 2008
foxyclearpetrol asked:


I got a used fiberglass surf board and want to make it into a coffee table.

Fiberglass is pretty fragile, so if I drill a bunch of screws in it everything will probably just fall apart.

I also thought of just getting a glass top coffee table, take off the glass, and nail the surfboard to it.

Can any handy master give me step-by-step suggestions? Thanks in advance.
