The coronavirus quarantine has everyone\ngoing stir crazy while they\u2019re stuck at home. Whether you\u2019re tired of staring\nat the same space every day, or you\u2019re itching for a project to fill your time,\nrefinishing your furniture is a great option. It\u2019s far more cost-effective than\nbuying brand new furniture, plus it offers a way to use your hands, keep busy,\nand create an end-product you\u2019re proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need some design inspiration to get\nstarted? Check out these three DIY projects to make your furniture look new\nagain and see which ideas apply to your home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paint<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing like a fresh coat of paint<\/a> to spruce up the interior or exterior of your home\u2014and the same applies to your furniture! You don\u2019t need to be a skilled craftsman to make the job look professional, either. Nearly anyone can complete this DIY project at home (but always be mindful of children when using potentially hazardous materials).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hardest part of the process will be\ndisassembling the furniture pieceyou\u2019re working on. After that though, all\nyou\u2019ll need to do is apply one or two coats depending on the color of wood\nyou\u2019re painting over and the color of paint you\u2019re using. Allow each coat two\nhours to dry and voila! That drab antique\narmoire becomes modern chic<\/a> before your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go a step up from paint in skill level, then staining furniture<\/a> is your next best move. Staining can bring out the rich color and texture of your wooden furniture pieces but doing so will require a bit more finesse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you\u2019ll need to lay down floor protection<\/a> and sand the surface because the wood must be smooth and blemish-free before applying the stain\u2014otherwise, the color will highlight any scratches or dings its accumulated over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After sanding the wood down until it\u2019s clean, you can use any tool to apply the stain, such as a paint brush, rag, roller, or spray gun. A basic rule of thumb is to apply a wet coat first and wipe off the excess before it dries, then building layer by layer to achieve the look you\u2019re going for. Whether you want to create an aged aesthetic using an antique finish<\/a>, or transform stark-white furniture into rustic driftwood for a beachy vibe, staining can give your furniture a complete makeover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel like upping your arts and crafts game? Then explore all the ways you can use epoxy resin<\/a> to give your furniture a complete makeover. Serious crafters will use resin to create river tables from scratch, but you can definitely work with what you already have to make an existing piece look entirely new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resin projects are more involved than painting\nor staining, so you\u2019ll need to pick up a few products before you get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
