Well, I happened upon one of those days a few months back. Just out walking around my neighborhood and I saw this piece lying on it's back out by the curb. I thought to myself, "That must be in pretty bad shape if they are throwing it out". Which it was. But I knew I could make it pretty again.
However it did need a good deal of work, check out the before.
I had to peel off a lot of the veneer and sand, sand, sand... oh, yeah and sand some more.
I re-finished the top with a walnut stain. I used a color I had loved on this piece, called Woodlawn Vally Haze by Valspar.
Just another piece I will be selling at The Little Red Barn Sale.

ReplyDeleteYou did a really great job on that! I really like that style of furniture... I haven't been lucky enough to find a piece yet, though. You were incredibly lucky to find that on the curb!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful piece to have escaped the landfill. You did a beautiful job on it.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! Wow, now that is something I don't think I would find in my neck of the woods. Those kinds of antiques, even if they are in horrible shape are sold for a fortune! If it hasn't sold already, I am sure it will quickly. Thanks for sharing. -K
