I know there's a pony in there somewhere.: December 2011

This is a place where I can share my little projects with whoever may be interested. I have a love for Midcentury Modern furniture and design. In fact, I was born into it. I was lucky enough to have a Dad with a great eye for modern design and architecture. Growing up we always had extraordinary houses including an Eichler. I have a side business re-selling Midcentury Modern furniture and this specific blog is dedicated to some of the pieces I find which are in pretty rough shape to begin with but with some expertise and a little love, end up being the things of beauty they were meant to be.

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.
