Bathroom Furniture Sets
ubbalinda asked:


I have been refurbishing wood for over 7 years now and I love it. I redid our redwood deck, patio furniture, 2 roll top desks, kitchen table, cabinets, upstairs bathroom and much more. But have not worked with teak wood yet. My neighbors recently asked me if I would like to earn some extra $ by redoing their teak wood patio set that they have owned for 7 years. They complimented me on all the work they have seen me do over the years and wanted to get my “professional” opinon. I went over and checked their patio set out and said I would get back to them in a couple of days. I’ve researched several websites and have gotten lots of ideas, but they are all so different in the how-to’s. I would like to do a great job for them and make some money at the same time but am a little apprehensive. I would also like to know if anyone could give me an estimate or ballpark figure on how much one usually charges for something like this. It’s a 5 piece octogonal table and chairs with slates

I will be moving from my long-time home of KY to FL with my boyfriend within the next year. I’m gradually saving up money & buying some of the smaller things I know I’ll need in a home so I don’t have to purchase them all at once when I get there. I don’t want to have too much to move. When I move, I will have a UHaul pull-behind trailer I can fill, plus a Monte Carlo & a small truck. I have basic furniture already moved down there, so I have plenty of room for the essentials.

Here’s some home stuff I already have purchased:
Drinking Glasses, Pitchers, silverware, plates, bowls, etc.
bedding
shelving & storage solutions [which can also be used to store items in transit during the move]
bathroom & bedroom decor

What else would you recommend I purchase before the move? The bigger / more breakable stuff [such as some home decor] I will be purchasing when I get there. I just need to stock up on the essentials so I don’t have such a shock. I need things I can store until I move. Thanks.

Bathroom Vanity

About a year ago I saw a white bathroom vanity with an above counter PINK vessel sink. It was on the Home Depot website, and it was fabulous! I didn’t have the money at the time so I put it off until now. Unfortunately, however, it’s no longer on the site, and, when I went to the store, they couldn’t find it in their catalog either.
