Upcycling

Have any of you done it? I bought an old fashioned sideboard. I've started sanding it down and am gonny repaint it a colour to go with my new furniture/walls.

It's no fkn easy. It best be worth it though.

 

**** off, Edge.

 

Better off just raiding skips.

Come across some good **** sometimes. You'll be surprised how many people throw out good mattresses.

 

Aldo makes a decent living from it, he can even afford to use the internet café for a couple of hours an evening to post on here

 

haha not quite at that stage yet.

I got it off Gumtree. It's a cracking big thing. Am gonny sand, paint, varnish and put on some new handles n'stuff.

 

Replace the wood and it will be as good as new.

 

I can do furniture restoration T if you need help pm me some nekkid photies

 

Replace the wood and it will be good as new.

 

but Tina likes wood, that's where you've been going wrong all these years.

 

The French have passed a law that supermarkets are not allowed to scrap food ... They must donate it to a charity .

The French have done something useful for once .

 

Tina likes faux wood, like rampant rabbits.

 

Great idea! Everybody stops shopping in supermarkets and waits until all that delicious grub goes to the charity food banks!

 

I own all my own furniture. You rent yours ya tramp.

 

There are methods of removing the old paint/varnish/woodstain, without resorting to hours of sandpapering. Get yer knickers off, take some photo's post em on here and you will be amazed the amount of help you will get. However i suggest you go to them acid vat dudes that will completely restore the wood to its original condition for about 15 quid. Trust me it's worth every penny.

 

You're such a queer tory.

 

Only people that 'upcycle' are hipsters and the scumbag poor.

Thought better of you, T.

 

Go to Ikea ffs.

 

Fixed ...It involves not wasting food !

 

Which category does Toby go into?

 

I did it with a chair,french polished,upholstered the lot and beautiful it was too but still have 2 more to do(did first one about 2 years ago).I was having second thoughts about admitting it though,not sure if I'm a hipster or scumbag poor

ps Abu Hamzas' advise is spot on,that's what I'll do with the other two.
