Makeover furniture

With two boys running around the house something is sure to get damaged, scratched, bumped or broken. Only last month I ended up spray painting a kiddies table and chair set to make it look as good as new. After all, we're all trying to do our bit and rather fix up than throw away!

Step 1: Make a choice

Although you may think that using spray paint is kinda defeating the object of becoming more 'green", I suppose it's a toss up between repurposing and making new or tossing out. At the end of the day I think that making new wins over tossing out and it means less rubbish on the trash heap.

With a little sanding down with 120-grit sandpaper you can remove must of the dings and dents.
