Day 23.

REFINISH A CHAIR.

Cost: $1.99 for the finish

Time: 2.5 hours

Headspace: I found this chair on the street. Normally I wouldn’t grab it, but this project is getting expensive. Free furniture is a way to combat the expenses.

I put the before and after right next to each other because the improvements are subtle. The bulk of my time was spent sanding. There were some scratches in the wood and random paint splotches that needed to come out. This wood was pretty tough, so I ended up using a coarse sandpaper. Wild.

I also ended up using a clear finish because I dig the reddish brown of the wood.
