Just Like New

As some of you know, we have been trying to clean up and refinish some antique furniture that has been in Stefanie’s family for some time. We just about killed ourselves on the buffet that now sits in our dining room. So, when it came time to take another pass at the dining table and six chairs we threw our hands up.
Instead, we found a great guy by the name of Shawn Roselli who is a third generation antique refinisher. You can contact him via his website: PDXRestore.
Here’s a tease of what the final product looks like:

Look closely and you’ll see a little handiwork of our own. While Shawn was expertly working on the table and chairs, Stefanie and I made new seats and upholstered them. I also built the simple, but functional bookshelf that sits atop the buffet in the back.
The table made it home and was ready to go for David’s first day of high school today.
