Is furniture restoration worth it?

• <div><p>Not always—heavily worn or broken furniture often isn’t worth repairing or refinishing (if it’s even possible). While some damage can be repaired and some of the visual appeal restored, major flaws, such as structural issues, can’t be fixed as easily. If you still want a cost-saving furniture refinishing project rather than purchasing all new, consider shopping for similar secondhand pieces at thrift stores, garage sales, and estate sales.</p></div>

Can you condition leather with natural ingredients?

• <div><p>Yes. A good mixture to condition your leather is made from one tablespoon of natural baby soap, a splash of vinegar, and 2 cups of warm water. Mix these ingredients in a bowl and use a microfiber cloth to rub it into the leather in small circles. </p><p>You can apply the same technique with a mixture of one part vinegar and two parts linseed oil. Once you’ve applied this to leather with a cloth, let it sit for 10 minutes before buffing with a small cloth.</p></div>

Q: How can I make my dining room look more expensive?

• <div><p>You can make your dining room look more expensive using one or more of several methods. If you're remodeling, you can consider raising the ceiling height, installing an elegant chandelier, or redoing the floor. For smaller renovations, consider changing the paint color to a deep and rich tone, such as burgundy or emerald. You can also swap out the table and chairs to achieve a richer appearance. </p></div>

Q: What removes dried paint from wood?

• <div><p>If you recently splashed paint on the wrong area of a wooden object, remove it with a solvent or caustic paint stripper. Some paint that has yet to dry may be removable by hand with coarse sandpaper or a plastic scraper. Another trick for removing dried-on paint is rubbing a dab of nail polish remover on the paint to remove it, but avoid touching the bare wood surface.</p></div>

In general, the quality of this providers work was at least minimally acceptable. Some examples were rewarding and some downright disappointing. For those items requiring a remedial effort from this provider, he has, in my opinion, failed miserably. My odyssey with CFR is now in its'...

After sending a photo, we received an estimate. They came and picked up the secretary and took it to their workshop. About 1 and 1/2 weeks later I went to the workshop to pick out the stain. They had taken apart every piece of the secretary and repaired parts as needed. About 3-4 weeks later,...
