I did not throw out the old Soviet desk and updated it beyond recognition. Before & After

In my apartment, in a closet, collecting dust long ago desk Soviet times. It is usually stored junk, old clothes to broken gadgets and tools. I was more than five years, and then my wife wanted to do some repairs there and throw everything is not right.

For unnecessary things treated and the table itself, have long planned to give it to someone or even throw, but his hands still could not reach before. And then came that day, but I stumbled across online video, where rukasty little man made of a similar table is almost a work of art.

I have decided to postpone the release and try to make something of their own. Much did not bother. To begin with strengthened table legs shattered conventional wrench, and then began to get rid of old coatings.

To this end, he took a sander and handled the whole board first coarse nozzle after fine. Next had to find all the defects on the surface to be repaired a special putty for wood.

This is to ensure that after the painting was no sign of any defects in the form of scratches, cracks and chips that immediately catch the eye even at a great distance. Was fully primed all surfaces and allow to dry just one day.

By the way, for those who do not know - a primer should be used for wood or another, which is universal. Do not buy expensive, suitable for most budget adaptations of old things.

For a long time I thought, what kind of paint is best to handle future masterpiece. As a result, I decided to paint entirely in white. On the paint I have decided not to save money and bought a quality acrylic. The amount of cash outlay will give at the end.

After painting remained the finishing touch - apply a protective varnish which will protect the paint from various damages. He struck him in several layers. The result was a good old table update, but still something was missing.

Therefore, it was decided from the beautiful colored oilcloth cut a circle equal to the diameter of the table and sticking to the work area. It turned out what happened, my wife praised me and now this table stands in the living room of a country house.

In fact, you can make a positive conclusion, which says that really transform absolutely any old furniture, not to spend huge amounts of money on the same professional restoration.

I have an old sideboard, which I'll soon too, it would be important as the time and desire to speak. Now the most important thing:

As I promised now about the cost of the update:

Putty for wood - 130 rubles

Universal Primer - 240 rubles

Acrylic paint 840 rubles

Lac I was so the money did not have to spend.

Total 1210 rubles
