New Favorite

I needed a spring/summer project. I know you're thinking what about your garden! Well, it rained for the past two weeks and I was staring at my furniture and thought, why don't I refinish the piano. Of course this is during naptimes, otherwise I wouldn't have the time.

Anyway, on my trip to Home Depot to look for some refinishing things, I came across this product.

It comes in tons of colors and said it was basically a rub on restore product and since I have no experience at refinishing pianos, I thought I'd give the easy way (and cheap $7) a try first before really jumping in.

Well, I have to say that this was what I needed! All the scratches and even the teeth mark from the dogs my parents have had (this was my great-grandmother and then my mother's and now mine) - all the blemishes are gone! No kidding! It looks amazing!

After that fix, I was taking this product around practically our whole house fixes scratches on wood. I will need to sand and officially refinish our coffee table, but it completely renewed our door to our garage as well that the previous owners dog had scratched badly.

Seriously, this would work on restoring cabinets or anything if they are not really deeply scratched. Happy refinishing!

I've heard about this stuff--I should try it on our kitchen table I don't want to sand and restain it for the kids to ruin. Did you take before and after pictures of your piano? That would be cool to see.
