My mom had a small desk in storage that someone gave to her a few years back. She kept it in the garage because it didn't match her decor and she wasn't sure what to do with it. It's good quality so she didn't want to just give it away either. Now that my parents... Continue Reading →
The Project Board is 10 Years Old!
I published my first post on The Project Board ten years ago today on October 2, 2012. I was a go-getter that first month and published 18 posts! I had a lot to talk about due to two reasons: 1. we had just moved in to our house and I had a lot of ideas... Continue Reading →
Refinished Laminate Table
My parents are moving in to a new house in the coming months and they are deciding which of their furniture they want to keep or replace. They didn't think their dining table and chairs would look good in their new house but they also didn't want to spend the money to buy a new... Continue Reading →
Refinished School Desk
We had above average temperatures this weekend so I took advantage of it by spending time outside refinishing a desk for my 6 year old niece. The desk belonged to my mother-in-law and she gave it to my niece who likes to play pretend school. My brother-in-law didn't like the desk as-is and asked me... Continue Reading →
Refinished Coffee and End Tables
I found a coffee table and end table at a thrift store a few days ago. They were heavy and seemed to be made well. I paid $60 for both which is a bit high in my opinion but proceeds go to charity so I didn't want to haggle. Tables before refinishing Table before refinishing... Continue Reading →

I realized I never told you guys about the dresser I refinished last year. I found this dresser at Goodwill for around $100. It was an okay deal; it was pretty well made but it had wood veneer which made if tough to sand because I had to be careful not to sand through it.... Continue Reading →
Rustic Table Makeover
A family member gave me this small table and asked me to paint it white and give it a rustic farmhouse look. I've done something similar to a different piece in the past and I think the trick is to not be too neat. Here is the before: I started by removing the blue... Continue Reading →
Side Table Makeover
I was given an old table that I decided to paint. I've spent most of the past year sanding, priming, and painting baseboards, trim, and doors so I really wanted to minimize the amount of time I spent on the table because I'm in need of a break from this kind of work. Because I... Continue Reading →
Refinished Desk
This past week I worked on refinishing a desk for a friend. When I first saw the desk, I thought it was really cute and didn't really need to be refinished but it did have quite a few scratches on the top and drawers and the finish was dull in a lot of places. I... Continue Reading →
