      I do a lot of full restorations but sometimes a bit of paint on lesser quality wood (and especially plastic laminate coated wood, or Formica) can keep something structurally sound from being tossed just because it’s a bit rough or dated cosmetically. But I like to restore certain woods whenever possible. 🙂

      I'm generally against push-latches (they're usually a cheap cop-out from finding appropriate hardware)...but the reasoning behind using them in this instance was perfection! It allowed you to use the original, beautiful hardware and actually emphasized the verticality of the cabinet veneer. Gorgeously done faux bois work, as well!!!

      I have no issue with people doing that. This would be hard to sell because it's not usable as a desk. It's a vanity, so only a vanity bench can be used. It’s only 27” high.

    Gorgeous. Your work is excellent. It's wonderful to see vintage furniture restored to its natural beauty. I love antiques and it breaks my heart when I see restorers doctor the piece and then paint it.

      I do a lot of full restorations but sometimes a bit of paint on lesser quality wood (and especially plastic laminate coated wood, or Formica) can keep something structurally sound from being tossed just because it’s a bit rough or dated cosmetically. But I like to restore certain woods whenever possible. 🙂

    You have a gift for seeing beauty behind the damage. You’ve also acquired the skills to deal with the damage and enhance the beauty in the piece. This transformation shows an artist who’s come into their own. Brilliant work, Angie!

    • @juleswins3
      @juleswins3 Рік тому +1

      Yes! Without an artist’s eye for color to be able to see and know what materials are needed for the repairs, a restoration like this would be impossible.

    When I first saw this piece I thought that even if you cleaned it up and refinished it I would think it was too old fashioned, out of style, and I wouldn’t like it. But it’s beautiful. I would love to have this piece in my home. It’s got a deep glossy finish, beautiful color and so updated and stylish. I’m impressed.

    Your precious fur babies melted my heart. We have 4 at our house. We only had 1 until someone we know called to.say he was having to move but since no one wanted them he would just put them outside. It was February at the time. So that's where the other 3 came from. We love our fur babies. I can't imagine a day without them❤

I’d also like to have my own acu screwdriver so I can do some repairs around the flat. It made so happy to see another woman just living her dream, repairing old furniture and giving it new life.
