Refresh Old Furniture Without Stripping or Sanding
My goal after it was dirt and dust free was to continue cleaning it up, making sure the wood was sealed properly so it would be protected for years to come, and to do what I could for some of the dings and scratches. I often find my favorite stain color, English Chestnut, does a great job blending with the finish of antique and vintage pieces. I dipped a clean cloth into my stain and worked the stain across the surface of the desk and into the scratches.

Remember the goal isn’t perfection. We aren’t trying to restore the piece to its original condition. We just want to clean it up and make sure the wood is protected, giving it a little refresh. This beauty came to life with a little TLC and is currently dressing up our living room corner!
