And, it’s good for Mother Earth

It's pretty amazing what can be done with an old piece of furniture. Many of the pieces I rehabbed last year were in bad shape. Their upholstery was torn and dirty or their finishes rusty and flaking. Their future was uncertain. But, with a little TLC they found new life. And, what was their downfall before, that they were old, is now suddenly their best feature. Nothing adds character like a little age and experience.

And, this is the job I'm most proud of. These brown lucite tulip chairs made an amazing comeback.
I hesitated to purchase them, they were so covered in dirt...

They were given a bath or 5, the bases were powdercoated silver, and the cushions were covered in a gorgeous silver print linen...
