Claw Foot Dining Table with 6 Cane Back "American Drew" Chairs

Claw Foot Dining Table with Leaf and 6 Cane Back Chairs. These chairs are in AWESOME condition for cane back and have been recovered twice. The fabric under the blue is an orange velvet fabric. The table I will be putting quite a bit of elbow grease into. Some damage right where the table seam is that I will be working hard on to restore. I have no doubt this piece will look amazing when finished. Another SOLID WOOD table that is HEAVY and with it's little details will be brought new life again!

Refinished in a Satin Black and chairs were reupholstered with Black and White Damask Fabric. This set turned out beautifully.

Octagon Antique Dining Table

Antique Dining Table -- SOLID WOOD with 2 leafs.

This Solid Wood Antique Table has been refinished in a gorgeous Satin Black. I love the versatility of this table with the 2 leafs. You can have 1 or 2 leafs added depending on the size you are needing for the occasion. Or leave it as is without any leafs for a perfect size octagonal game table or breakfast table.

This is a beautiful old table in excellent condition. I bought this piece at a resale shop and the proceeds go to Domestic Violence victims.

7 Drawer Vintage Dresser

What an unusual piece of furniture this is. There are 3 large drawers with dividers in them and 4 smaller drawers on the side. Can't wait to see how this piece comes out. I definitely had my work cut out for me with this one. Lots of stripping of old broken veneer to reveal the beautiful hardwoods underneath. Veneer was definitely popular when this vintage dresser was made... but still had the gorgeous OLD hardwood underneath. Unlike todays furniture that is made with veneer on top of cheaper plywood type wood. Inside the drawer it is stamped/branded, which only adds to the character of this piece, the drawers are also dovetailed joints.

STAY TUNED!!!

I have been at Sea World and Fiesta Texas over the last few days... Day 1 of being home I am BUSY - I have just bought 2 dining sets, 2 dressers and a twin bed I will be working on over the next week. Everything that was just finished has already been sold. Amazing how beautiful all of these pieces become after they are transformed! I will post some BEFORE pictures of the pieces I have just bought up soon.

Shabby Chic 10 Drawer Dresser with GORGEOUS Crystal Knobs

OMG --- LOVE the way this piece turned out. After some needed repairs this dresser is now a stunning piece! Refinished in a Satin Black and Lightly Distressed! I love the flower medallions that adorn each drawer and now dressed up with some updated CHARMING Crystal Knobs. This is where my whole lot of chic with a touch a shabby comes in. Also, the way the light distressing now shows off the details on the sides of the dresser. You would never believe I found this dresser at Goodwill for a whopping $11.00! Yes, that's correct... $11.00!!!
