    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.

    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!

      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.
