    That's just WOW. thank you for sharing and taking the time to bring it back to such beauty. I can never understand how people can paint and then miss treat wooden furniture. It always upsets me when people abuse wooden furniture so badly. My Dad did restoration for a living and i have come to appreciate wooden furniture and in treating the wood respect the makers of them.

      Because it’s not valuable to their aesthetic. This kind of furniture looks old and fusty to many people. Perhaps the man who used it in his garage already had a household full of furniture he, and presumably his wife, had.
      Different times, different styles
      Sometimes furniture and other pieces of things special to the elders are a burden.

      Hi Melinda. I think he had no clue how to restore it. Under the paint, it was in pretty bad shape. So, I give him a little credit for NOT just taking it to the landfill. At least he got some more use out of it until he was ready to pass it on to me!

      Oh gee Desiree thanks so very much!!! I too was very emotional. I was so frustrated because I was afraid I would have to paint it!!! When I began to apply the stain, I could still see a few of the marks but the stain covered them beautifully. Well, 3 coats of the stain!
