Papa's Got New Shoes

Another Thrift Store find. Kind of an odd piece. Heavy too. I sanded, stained and clear coated it. I wasn't happy with the mix of different grade solid wood, particle board and veneer that this thing was put together with. But in the end it turned out pretty cool. I removed the original footing and replaced with a set of Hairpin legs that proved to be a perfect match for this cabinet. 

Tip to clean brass - make a paste of vinegar and baking soda. 

It's a keeper.

Little Retro Nightstand

Fun find from Salvation Army Thrift Store. It doesn't have much substance as far as quality and material goes. But the wire legs gave it character. Light sanding, new coat of paint and then I hand drew the wood pattern on it. Currently for sale.

Spool Bed Makeover

During a road trip to Upstate New York last summer, I popped into few local antique shops. And that's how this heavy, over hundred years old bed found its way to our truck.
I gotta thank a very good friend helping me with the excruciating sanding job. But it was well worth it. Definitely a keeper.
