HOW TO REPAIR AND PAINT A WOOD DESK AND RECOVER A CHAIR SEAT

MAKE ALL FURNITURE REPAIRS BEFORE PAINTING.

Some of the repairs are minor and some are very major. I always say painting is the easy part of a makeover it's getting to that point that takes time and energy.

At one time there was something on the back…maybe a mirror. The table is pretty old but I have no idea about the age. It's solid wood and that's always good. 

I went through my reclaimed wood stash and found a board that would work perfectly on the back. The JTS cut it down to size for me.

And here is the little cutie working on the table. He likes helping with my projects. At least he says he does and some of the stuff I couldn't do without him.

He used the nail gun to attach the board to the back. I was sitting right there taking photos….and a break. I happened to notice…since I was sitting there doing nothing.
