I enjoy do-it-yourself work, like refinishing furniture. However, the term “DIY” is overused. It conjures up images of weekend chore lists, never-ending home maintenance, and challenging tasks we don’t want to do. OK, maybe, it’s just me that doesn’t want to do them. I’m changing the acronym. Let’s call it F-I-T. Find. Invent. Transform.
- F – Find a piece that inspires you.
- I – Invent a new or better use for it.
- T – Transform it into something you or someone else will love.
I love to re-purpose and refinish used furniture and antiques. I guess it’s the saver in me. I don’t like to see ANYTHING go to waste! Take a look at the refinished furniture pieces that I’ve enjoyed transforming into loved and versatile furniture in my home and in the homes of others, and get some helpful hints on products and techniques you can use to create your own masterpieces.
Absolutely not!
In our guest room, we’ve had college friends, a mom and her teenage son, and of course, a married couple that was elated to not have to share a bed with their restless partner!
We’ve always been do-it-yourself. In that we’ve had complete control.

Now, get F.I.T. and have fun!!!
