Projects
Welcome to our project page. Refinishing furniture is our specialty and is how we started. We love taking old furniture, fixing them and updating it. It keeps perfectly good wood out of landfills and it is customized to fit in your space just the way you like it. Here are some examples of work we have done.
Before
An early 20th century tea cart. Parts of the veneer on the top were badly damaged as well as the wheels. We repaired the veneer as best we could.
After
The client wanted rich colours to compliment her home. We brought out the grain on the burl walnut top and gave it a high gloss finish. The body is painted in a rich navy.
Before
This mahogany server was covered in a dark stain and didn't show the grain at all. It was also in need of refinishing.
After
We stripped the finish and removed the colour of the original stain to show the natural colour of mahogany. The legs and trim were stained dark for contrast. Everything was coated in a high gloss finish.
Before
A highboy from the 1970s. Solid wood construction and huge.
After
We took off all the embellishments, painted it in Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore as per client's request, and simplified the pulls. The top and bottom were finished in natural oak.
Before
Our client had a unique space with certain width and depth requirements, and because it was between two doors, it needed to feel right-It couldn't be too tall.
After
One thing we noticed right away was the beautiful elm grain on this dresser and wanted to bring it out in the best possible way. We refinished it using a French beeswax polish and left the wood in its natural colour.
Before
Our client wanted a large tall dresser made from solid wood. We found one from the 1980s and removed all the details.
After
The client chose a soft sage green and cast iron knobs.
Before
A client wanted this vintage Community Silverware Chest refinished. It is rough sawn oak.
After
We kept the chest in natural oak and refinished using natural oils.
Before
An early 20th century dresser painted to look like quarter sawn oak. The top was warped, the bottom of the drawers were broken and it needed a really good clean. We took the dresser apart to fix everything and cleaned it.
After
Once we stripped the fading original faux finish, we found that there was elm underneath. We kept the natural colour of the elm and finished the front of the drawers in a brown wax and painted the sides and trim in ash black.
