So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Importance Of Refinishing Wood Furniture The Right Way

By Mollie Burton


No matter where one turns, it seems there's a do-it-yourselfer taking on tasks that are beyond their capacity. In some cases, it may be fine, but in others, it can have some devastating results. For example, refinishing wood furniture around the world, and in the city of Dallas, TX should be left to the professionals.

A professional will come on-site to provide a free of charge estimate with regards to the piece in question. After careful observation, it will be relayed to the owner whether the piece can be restored entirely, and at what cost. This way, there are never any unpleasant surprises.

Do-it-yourself jobs are meant to be completed by those who have some level of skill, and should never be attempted on priceless items. They should also never be attempted on any piece that is sentimental, as the lack of knowledge and skill could come at a high cost. Sometimes, more damage could be caused, than good.

Being the owner of the particular piece, the individual certainly has the right to take the risk. Learning how to tackle the project through watching concise videos or reading information may help, but it certainly does come with a risk. This is especially true when someone has never done this before.

In truth, there are numerous factors that come into play regarding restoring wood. For example, removing an existing stain and finish is not as easy as 123. People have to understand what product was actually used so that they can properly remove it. Not knowing is taking a risk that could leave the owner in a huge mess.

With the professionals, one can rest assured that they are on the right path to restoring a sentimental piece as it should be done. The results could be beyond anyone's imagination. Something that may have been put out in the trash otherwise, could be salvaged and be worth much more than ever expected.

With regards to antiques, only professionals should handle them. Any wrong move could cause a complete loss. Not only is this a monetary loss, but also, one that could see the antique becoming worthless. That means that the antique will also never serve its purpose and never be displayed with its beauty ever again. Any way one looks at it, it's a painful loss.

People have to understand the type of wood the furniture is made of. From there, they must fully know what type of finish was used to protect it. Without this crucial information, attempting to strip it of its finish could be disastrous. Experienced people in the trade have this knowledge that it's come to them through years of working in the field. Moreover, they always have professional supplies and tools to complete the job properly and thoroughly. One cannot compare the results of the piece restored by a professional. Of course, finding the right professional will require them to do their homework. It will involve getting several experts to provide estimates for the best results possible.
