Have you recovered furniture from your solid wood grandparents that make a little old-fashioned? Give them a facelift with this easy-to-make technique.
Furnishing an interior is expensive. Even if there are stores offering prices defying all competitions, buying a sofa, a table, plus a dresser or other furniture, it ends up weighing on the wallet. In addition, to display accessible rates, some brands have decided to adopt a strategy to remain competitive despite the increase in raw materials. They sell furniture composed of finer wood or plywood. Big advantage is cheaper, but it is also much less solid.
Fortunately, there is another solution to have cheaper and quality furniture, it is to go draw from resources or even in flea markets. There are often real much better quality nuggets. And in addition, vintage is on the rise. By recycling products from the past, we play the card of the circular economy at all. Besides, small children take the opportunity to provide themselves at Papi and Mamie. They recover the old dresser from their elders, generally made of almost indestructible solid wood. In addition, it is an object for which they have a particular affection, because it has a little taste of childhood. This trend has the same name: “Grandmillenial”. It is the contraction between “grandparent” and “millennial”.
If it is, maybe that’s your case? Have you recovered or planned to take over a solid wood furniture? Its robustness is a real plus, however the style can leave you circumspect. Fortunately, a method makes it possible to transform all old storage into something more contemporary.
It was @Mlleeloise who sold the wick on her account. She presented all her dark wood furniture, from the cherry home and gave them a real stroke of a youngster by passing them to aerogamage. It is a professional sanding technique. The device sends a natural abrasive (often sand) with the help of compressed air at low pressure. As a result, the furniture is much clearer and blends into the young woman’s decor. It’s really impressive.
You can ask a professional to do it for you or do it yourself if you have an aerogommeuse. Otherwise, it is possible to rent one at Kiloutou for 204 euros per day. Then, all you have to do is apply three layers of varnish to protect the wood well and voila.
