Vintage Furniture Restoration

Furniture restoration is a longtime passion of mine. It’s always a huge delight to take something that is old and ready to be thrown away and invest the time to make it into a gorgeous masterpiece.

What I love most about vintage furniture is the character and quality of each piece. Solid wood furniture is sturdy and made to last a lifetime.

When I purchase or rescue a furniture piece, I look for items that are made from solid, durable woods.  The end result is not something that I can anticipate initially, it is something that is created as my work with the piece begins. I take into account the style and shape of the piece, as well as it’s potential use and placement in each space.  Each piece is a custom design, loving restored by hand.

If you are interested in commisioning a custom furniture piece, please email me directly at cynthianessel@gmail.com.  To purchase restored furniture already in stock, please visit my storefront “Create With Cynthia” at 615 Woodside Road, #3, Redwood City, California.
