Fixing It Up

Once you've found a piece you both like, it's time to get it home and start the fun. Pick out a location where you have enough room to work on it together and that has good ventilation. Protect the floor with a drop cloth and put on some clothes you won't mind getting ruined.

Painting It
Chances are your creation is going to need a little paint, so don't forget to sand the piece first. When selecting the paint, keep the size of your piece in mind. If it's something small you might consider spray paint. There are many different spray textures you can use for cool effects. There are also many styles of faux painting you can try. Be willing to experiment. If you hate it, you can sand it down and repaint it later.

Embellish It
After your furniture piece has been painted and dried, you might consider adding your own personal touches to it. You can decoupage memorabilia from past dates, or glue on jewels or other embellishments that match your décor. Wallpaper cut-outs can also be a great finishing touch.

Romantic Touches

If you plan on taking time to actually find the piece of furniture you're going to fix, you might want to split this date night up. Use one day to find the furniture and another to actually fix it up.

During the fix up process, order take-out and enjoy a nice break with a candle lit meal. When you're searching for the piece, pack a picnic lunch and take a break at nearby park to eat.

Play a movie or some CDs in the background while you're working on the furniture. You can also use this time as a getting to know you better opportunity and share personal stories or memories.

Remember, no matter how your creation turns out, it isn't really about the finished product. It's about your ability to work together as team and the sense of accomplishment that comes from doing something together.
