The easiest way to refinish a hardwood floor is to find a local professional who can do the work for you. This will ensure that the floor is finished to the highest level of finish. However this is not the most cost effective way of and to save money you can do the work yourself. To do the work yourself you need to remove all furniture from the room and deep clean the floor ensuring that all dust is removed. Tape all opening such as plug sockets and cover light fittings with a bag. Having cleared the room you then should evenly sand the floor using either a belt or a hand sander. When the sanding is completed the floor should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove all dust and then sealed using a clear sealer and then varnished.
An old desk can be refinished with great care, patience and time, lots of time. The condition of the desk would need to be taken into consideration first checking out for any repairs or replacements like broken legs or split wood. Then with a lot of TLC, wood glue, sandpaper, clamps, paint or stains, fittings and/or handles, one can begin to bring life back into that old desk.
