Lane Acclaim Dining Set

This one was fun. The finish was totally blown out on the table top but the wood underneath was perfect. It just needed to be stripped down and oiled back up. The chairs were funny. They had some ugly 70's faux leather so I bought some black vinyl to re-cover them. As I removed the 70's covers I discovered some 60's orange striped fabric. When I removed that I found the original 50's black vinyl in perfect condition! THat saved me a step. I guess I'll have to find another use for that vinyl I bought.

Midcentury Walnut End Table

This is the only before picture I have of this guy. He is hiding beneath the taller table.
































The finished product was a far cry from where it started. It sold the first day.

Dux Chair and Ottomon

All I did was refinish the legs on this one. What a great chair! Comfy too.

Midcentury Modern Chairs

 When I got these they had lots of dings and scratches, the joints were loose and creaky and they had a hideous flower pattern fabric. I re-glued all the joinery, sanded and refinished the wood, added some foam and re-upholstered the seats. There is a fifth chair to the set which had a split leg when I got it. I managed to repair it with hide glue and clamps. It's nearly invisible now. I put more time than it was worth into these chairs but I think they'll make someone happy. They are for sale for $225. Update: Sold.

Danish Modern Lamp Table

Unfortunately I didn't get a before picture of this one. I got this for free while buying a coffee table from a really cute surfer girl down in Laguna Beach. It had a cracked edge, some scratches and various stains. I repaired the crack and re-finished the top. A very nice little piece.

Sold.

Skinny Leg Walnut Kitchen Table

This was my first re-finish project. I bought it at an estate sale for less than a decent bottle of scotch. It was a real basket case but I loved the skinny legs.

The end product was so nice that I'm going to keep it for myself. 

Lane End Table with Drawer

A nice Lane end table. A few water spots and scratches on the top, otherwise a very clean piece.

A little love and watch how the flame appears. I really do love walnut. 

Finished product.
