repolishing

The things we leave behind ...

Our love of furniture restoration runs deep, the process of restoring, repairing and bringing back to life a treasured family heirloom is one of we find immensely rewarding.

The work is often labor intensive and intricate but we gladly face up to the challenge in the name of preserving beautiful furniture .

We were lucky enough to be involved in the restoration of this beautiful 1880’s inlaid box. Handed down through the generations it was time to restore what was needed , preserve and make original once again…

Complete with the original 1880 day stationary this box had beauty in the detail.

A little restoration project ...

We love our restoration projects.

There is so much satisfaction in repairing and restoring a piece of history, someone’s past, someone’s heirloom.

A forgotten household item now becomes the star of the living room.

It becomes a talking point.

It becomes a loved functional piece of furniture again and it goes without saying that in this mass produced era, its kind of cool to have something that is uniquely yours , that one of a kind feeling.

This little Oak Table is now a shining addition to its owners lounge room …

The benefits of blue

It doesnt take much to rejuevenate a room, adding new upholstery injecting some colour , will bring new life into a space, giving it new life and new energy.

By recolouring these quaint chairs, a whole new world of decorating opportunities open up.

We used Dulux Northen Sky in 2 pack for these family heirloom chairs.

the use of 2 pack is a personal choice, but we used it in this intstance to provide sheen and longevity .

A fabulous fun result for these chairs !
