A home study is a very critical place as you work on all your monthly bills or your office related work there. It is also the place where your kid spends hours before an exam. While you are choosing the furniture for your home study you need to keep in mind it should be such that it is pleasing and appealing to the eye.

For the home study you can have a mahogany desk or a built in bookcase as the focal point and to make them look attractive you could paint them with a bright color like yellow or honey and the adjacent walls can be painted in a contrasting color.

In case there is a space crunch in your house and you want to combine the home study with the guest room then it is always advisable to get furniture that are double-duty ones. For instance you could purchase a file cabinet that looks like a blanket chest and one that has armoire to store all your DVD players and CDs and where you can put up your TV.

Cabinets are generally restored fully or partially depending on the degree of wear and tear they have been subjected to. A partial finish means to refinish the surface to obtain the lost shine.

To fully restore cabinets empty them of their contents and take them apart using a screwdriver. Lay the doors on newspapers on the floor and save the screws and hinges that are in good condition for later use. Sand the doors as well as cabinets to remove the shine without destroying any design details.

Wipe off any residual dust after sanding and apply a layer of polyurethane and leave to dry for at least six hours. Buff lightly and apply the next coat and repeat again allowing sufficient drying time in between coats.

Rebuff and apply the last coat letting the cabinet doors dry overnight or more depending on the weather. Once done reassemble all the cabinets.
