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.
