I have a beautiful “record cabinet” (now just a coffee table, sadly) I inherited from my grandma but the finish is ruined from people setting drinks on it w/out coasters. (EVIL!) My dad is a pro at refinishing furniture, so it’s just a matter of getting us both to clear our schedules on a saturday for some lessons…

We bought a chest of drawers at an estate auction a few months ago that needs some TLC. I’m thinking I’ll try my hand at stripping it and refinishing it when the weather gets warmer.

Hubby got me a book on this subject for X-mas: “Furniture Repair and Finishing,” by Hingley, part of the Creative Homeowner series.

My husband’s mom rocks at this and is extremely handy. I really admire her and hope that someday she will be able to share some of her talents with me, maybe when Shn and I have our own house.
