Refinishing hardwood floors yourself
Hardwood floors scratched, dinged, dated and looking worn? Refinishing hardwood floors yourself is TOTALLY do-able and will save you a ton of money! See how I DIY’d my dining room floors and saved $1,500! I’m going to start with a sort of disclaimer here… you can TOTALLY refinish hardwood floors yourself, but hiring a professional […]
Fun with colour – another painted chair
So remember I said that I purchased three wooden chairs last week? And do you remember that I only showed you these two so far? Since I had nothing to lose and some Arborcoat solid stain left from my treehouse makeover, I decided to play with colour a bit and create a painted chair that […]
