Furniture With a Story

I love furniture with a story.  This table set belongs to a lady whose husband is currently serving in Iraq.  This was his family table as a boy, and now they enjoy it in their home.  It's hard when the furniture has special meaning, but doesn't really compliment your home anymore.  So she decided to have it refinished as a suprise for him!  Still the same table & chairs, but with an updated look!

Before...

 And now...

Now it's ready to be enjoyed for many years to come! (I also love happy endings)

Curvy Table & Chairs

The paint on this set was flaking off so I ended up sanding almost the whole thing.

 Don't you love the shape, once you look past the finish?

 I painted it white and glazed with a rich brown to bring out the great detail.  The chair fabric is in fun, fruity colors.

 I tried to get a close-up of the glaze on top.  It's brushed really lightly with brown.  To top it all off, it has three coats of polyacrylic in a glossy finish.  It looks so smooth and rich.

For Sale!  $175

Dining table re-invented

This is the table I refinished to match the black hutch. This lady's house is DARLING and the "new" furniture looks amazing with all her cute decorations. I'm always amazed at what a little paint and sandpaper can do!
