* Go Shopping – Find places to buy old wood furniture that you can easily turn into something new or simply refurbish as it is. Try looking online at buy/sell groups as well as flea markets, yard sales, the side of the road and even the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
* Clean It Up – Try cleaning your furniture with safe for the environment cleaners like vinegar and water, a vegetable-based soap, or an environmentally friendly paint stripper. You can go to your local hardware store or order online. Follow all the directions for cleaning, stripping, and disposal of old paint.
* Sand It – Sanding naturally adds pollution into the environment, so you’ll need to wear a mask and find a way to collect as much of the dust as possible. You can use this dust for other projects, or dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way.
* Keep It Simple – Often, for some types of wood all you need to do is strip it, add some fresh hardware or clean the hardware carefully, and then refinish it with beeswax or environmentally friendly oil. For wood, often the simplest is the best and most attractive.
