As they are old furniture they can have a high value if it is in good condition, as we know, old furniture has much more quality than these “disposables” we have nowadays, so if it spoils, you won’t even get a lot of money with it.
Before painting, correct all imperfections and clean well, remove all dust and dirt, if there are termites, put an end to them all because if you receive the painting with a dirty surface, in addition to a bad finish, it will have a short shelf life.

What to do with an old table? If the top is all spoiled, twisted over time, you soon think it has no function. Mistaken! With a lot of creativity, the table below was transformed with one of the most fashionable elements in the decoration: Portuguese tile. The renovation required only tiles of the same size, in this case 20cm x 20cm, and white glue, which we use at school.
All you need to do is leave the table surface clean for the piece to fix well and it is recommended to do a pre-assembly to assemble a really cool composition. Then just paste it piece by piece and that’s it. If there is room left on the table, take it to a carpenter to remove.
