Earlier postYou read in the earlier post how I decided to restore my old furniture. After getting needed supplies, I cleaned cane furniture thoroughly with water + liquid dish-wash solution and cotton cloth.
After that, I spread the news paper on my balcony floor, and placed the furniture over there. I polished with one coat. Entire furniture polish took 2 hrs for first coat. After that, I allow the furniture to dry. It took approximately 45 minutes to dry up the first done piece. Then, again I polish the second and final coat and wohooo, it was ready to set in my living room.
After that, I spread some sofa covers on sofa, table cloth on table and cushions on sofa. I bought the new cushion covers, which cost me 345 Indian rupees.
See how it looks now.
The total cost for restoration--
1. Polishing supply- 125 Indian Rupees
2.Cleaning supply - free, available at home
3. Sofa covers and table covers -- free, home inventory again.
4.Cushion -- Home inventory
5.Cushion covers -- 345 Indian Rupees
Total== Happy and frugal me and decorated my home
