About me:
Ever since I can remember I've grown up around antiques and country farm living. I am certain every piece of furniture in my

parents house was either antique or shabby chic style. As a kid, my mum used to take me around to the antique auctions, vintage seconds stores and garden viewings. And to put it simply i take unwanted pieces of old time furniture and turn them into something amazing once again. I love the transformation of a piece and see it turn into something fabulous and sophisticated. Lastly i love to see these pieces loved once again and become renewed focal points in your home. These pieces are often 80 or so years old and have lived a whole life time already! They were once hand crafted by somebody very long ago and hold so many stories from different times and families, often the same families. They are built so well that there is no reason they can't go on for another 80 years! And who wants a flat pack laminate piece of 'furniture' from Ikea anyway ha! Like i always say ~ Collect pieces for your home that inspire you and are unique to you and tell a story!

The last piece of our clients vintage maple bedroom suite!

The last and the biggest! Most wardrobes are able to be taken apart for transportation. The top and bottom are usually able to separated. This particular wardrobe was as one piece so refinishing made it a little more difficult due to its weight.

Nevertheless we got there!
Stripped, sanded, repairs, paintwashed and sealed was the general consensus, much like the rest of the suite. (See my other posts)

The interior was restored using 50/50 pale boiled linseed oil and mineral turps, along with dark wax for a silky finish. After the removal of some old contact paper on the shelves.

More footage to come.

How fabulous to have whole matching maple bedroom suite refinished in this way. To be enjoyed for many years to come with a raw French country feel about them. šŸ’•

These were usually made with off cuts of hardwood from around the homestead and put together in a rustic way. In this case, with large and long nails. I imagine it would have been quite rickety from the start.

This little one could have been made anywhere from about the 1850s. One day Iā€™ll hopefully find one of these for myself! I adore the shaped ā€˜peg legsā€™!

Quite tricky to reassemble as each panel now has a slight bow. After 3 attempts I found a happy place.

The legs are painted in the fun green ā€˜Fernā€™
The stool top was stained in ā€˜Brazilian roastā€™ and sealed in Scandinavian oil.

Afternoon tea became a social ritual in Britain during the late 1800s and early 1900s, particularly throughout Victorian and Edwardian eras, leading households to seek an elegant way to serve it. ā˜•ļø

The design detail on this vintage tea trolley has aged very well and will fit into a modern home beautifully.

What we did: ā¤µļø
Stripped and sanded. Glued down the lifting veneer on the shelves and glued the frame joints. A diluted paint wash was applied followed by a diluted stain. Then an oil sealer.

New brass castors were then installed. These were soaked in vinegar to remove the lacquer coating, followed by applications of brown glaze and a rub n buff gilding paste mix to create an antique brass look. In time this coating will wear off but the removal of the lacquer will allow the brass to patina naturally.

Tea trolleys are such a lovely and versatile item to have in the home. There are many styles to suit your own personal style and they look wonderful painted as-well! See our other refinished tea trolleys on our page for inspiration.
