BACKGROUND STORY TIME:
So, as I mentioned in my last post, the pair of rocking chairs I recently refurbished for and are family heirlooms, originally belonging to Jackie’s great-grandmother of South Georgia. The family is unsure if an exact date of purchase, but early 1900s is a safe estimate.
-
At least three generations of babies were rocked in these chairs—and as those children grew up they often rocked themselves in the same chairs. My client and new friend, Jackie, being one of those children.
-
There were layers of old fabric on the chairs, but when I got down to what I believe to be the original fabric, something special caught my eye. As pictured above, there is a light green patch of fabric that was hand sewn on to the original fabric on the seat of this chair. Sewn by either by Jackie’s grandmother or great-grandmother in efforts to repair a tear in the seat. Seeing this patch made this project all the more special for me. I have seen hand stitchings like this one many times before, sewn by my grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Patching what they could with what they had.
-
As a firm believer in preserving history when able, instead of ripping off this hand sewn patch and the sentiment behind it, I decided to clean this layer of fabric and leave it be. Then, in the final stages of refurbishment, I asked .boucher to use some of his own hand sewing skills on a couple of details in order to carry the old sentiment of love and hard work into this new chapter of design for the chairs. Thank you, Ant!!

Thank you again to and for trusting me and with this special project. It has been an honor working with you all.

Commission piece complete! I was thrilled to deliver this lovely antique side table back to its owner this evening.
-
-
This piece was purchased by my client’s grandmother of Madison, FL, circa 1940s. I was honored to be trusted with refurbishing a family heirloom, and one with such character at that.

I learned a new lesson of the trade during this project when it comes to hardware: before you waste time and money by ordering replacement hardware pieces (drawer pulls & claw feet), attempt to clean up the original. There just might be some more life left in them, and that was certainly true in this case! Check my before and after story highlights to see the condition in which I received this piece and its hardware. An actual piece of antique brass with some age left around the edges beats a store bought, brand new, “antique brass” painted piece of metal any day. Preserve when possible!

Hello all, happy weekend! After a short hiatus from furniture shenanigans, I’m back. I took some time off of this gig, as well as my regular 9-5, in order to celebrate two of my favorite couples and to be with them as they got married.

Though I’ve been quiet on social media, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working towards and planning for future projects! Today I share with you a commission piece I began work on over the last week. Though the pictures above are all before photos, I’m currently in the middle of the stripping and repair process. Keep an eye out for “Before & After” story highlights to see progress posts.

This piece and one other antique card table with similar detail have been graciously handed to me to bring back to life by a new client. Both pieces (will post other soon) belonged to the client’s grandmother and hold sentimental value for him. If you’ve read my previous stories, you may remember that sentimental heirlooms are a big reason I was inspired to get hands on with furniture refurbishment. I’m honored to be trusted with this job to say the least!
