Have you missed DIY with MRL? I’ve taken a few weeks off, but I’m back this week talking about redoing all kinds of furniture for your home. This includes cutting, sawing, and painting furniture you find on the curb, in a thrift store, or in your own home.
These are the projects I discuss in this week’s episode.
Refinished/Painted Coffee Table (before)
Small side table cut in half from years ago!
Vintage Dining Tables (in half)
The other half of the Vintage Dining Table
Tower of Terror Repurposed Desk
Desk into a Kitchen Island/Craft Station
Desk into Chest (on the podcast I actually mistakenly said dresser into chest)
Please be careful when operating power tools. If it feels uncomfortable or beyond your scope get help from someone who knows what they are doing. Always remember-safety first!
I hope you are inspired to think outside the box and not pass by a great deal on a piece of furniture because you can’t see beyond the damage!

Gail Wilson is the author and mastermind behind My Repurposed Life. She is obsessed with finding potential in unexpected places and believes that with a little hard work and imagination, any old thing can be made useful again, including herself!
Gail reinvented herself during a midlife crisis and has found purpose again. She hopes you will find new ideas for old things and pick up a few tools along the way.

I am also planning to redo my furniture items to make them more elegant and sophisticated. Thanks for telling us about the safety concerns when it comes to operating power tools for furniture redos. You did the great job and it is depicted clearly by the images that you have shared.
