So you saw a show on Direct satellite about redoing your home and you went a little overboard. Now you’ve got seven antique wooden pieces you don’t know what to do with and they need some TLC. Take some advice from us on caring for your best new furniture
Wood likes oil – Don’t try to wash a stain out of wood, oil it instead. Old wood needs oiling and it will suspend the life of a piece by decades, not to mention improve your chances of not getting splinters every time you open a drawer.
New knobs work – Say you bought a great armoire but when you brought it in it looked more like it came from your grandma’s house than from an estate sale. Change out the knobs to something more contemporary for a cheap, modern fix.
Put glass over it – One surefire way to protect your newest wooden pieces is to have glass cut to go on top. Particularly for desks and dressers, this will ensure your piece will last until you want to pass it down.
