furniture refinishing

Reviving old pieces

Furniture refinishing is the process of restoring or renewing the surface finish on wooden furniture.

This typically involves stripping old paint or varnish, sanding the wood, and applying new stain, paint, or protective coating.

The goal may be restoration to original condition or transformation to a different look: She spent the summer furniture refinishing in her garage.
