Is it better to reupholster or replace furniture?

• <div><p>In most cases, it is more affordable to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/consider-reupholstery-instead-new-furniture.htm">reupholster furniture than it is to replace it</a>, but it depends on the quality and age of the furniture you’re considering getting reupholstered. Antique pieces are always worth reupholstering, as it’s the only way to preserve the piece and extend its life. Newer pieces of furniture are more often made using lower-quality materials like medium-density fiberboard or plywood that don’t have the same lifespan as things like hardwood. For newer pieces, your furniture reupholstery specialist should be able to help you determine the best course of action.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint furniture without sanding it?

• <div><p>Chalk paint can be applied without sanding first. Keep in mind that while there are a lot of chalk paint color options available, there aren&rsquo;t as many choices as latex or oil-based paint.</p><p>You can also learn how to paint furniture without sanding using a liquid deglosser, sometimes referred to as liquid sandpaper. This can remove any old paint, gloss, or varnish, without the need to manually sand. Apply the deglosser using a cloth, then wait for the chemical to penetrate through the surface. Once it soaks through, you should be able to wipe away the residue with a towel. </p></div>

Q: How do you declutter for the holidays?

• <div><p>Strat decluttering for the holidays by removing trash and organizing items into different piles that you&rsquo;ll keep, donate and toss out. Whatever you intend to keep, find a specific place for it, and if you buy something, get rid of an item that&rsquo;s taking up space. Start small, go room-by-room, and don&rsquo;t try to declutter all at once&mdash;doing so can get overwhelming.</p></div>

Q: How much does professional refinishing cost?

• <div><p>If you have decided that hiring a professional to refinish your floors will be faster and more satisfactory, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $2,500. To get a better idea of what your hardwood refinishing project will cost with a professional, multiply the project&rsquo;s square footage by the average price of $4 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: Are there environmental benefits to resurfacing instead of replacing surfaces?

• <div><p>Refinishing reduces landfill waste, minimizes resource extraction impacts, and uses fewer raw materials than new installations.</p></div>

We are extremely happy with our floors! After purchasing our house and finding hardwood floors under the carpet, we decided to get them refinished. They were in awful condition but after they were refinished you would never know how they started. They are absolutely beautiful!
