I realized it as I heard the dumpster compact—I’d just thrown away the base of a perfectly good table. It was too late to save it, but I couldn’t let that mistake be the end of its story. So, this pine tabletop sat in storage for years waiting for its second chance. Fast forward to now: a client asked us for a custom French-inspired banquet table—something elegant but functional - to complement their 1904 home. The top finally had a purpose, but blending aged pine with a freshly built base wasn’t going to be easy. Matching old and new wood takes care, creativity, and patience. Every detail matters when you’re trying to make two completely different materials look like they’ve been together forever. We stripped the old finish, layered paint washes, stains, and glazes, and added a textured aged effect for a finish that looks like it’s been around for a century. The end result? A table that combines the charm of an antique with the durability of a new piece. Now, this 8-foot-long banquet table will live in a 1904 home that’s being lovingly restored to what it once was—a perfect match of blending the old with the new. This is the kind of project that reminds me why I do this—to save pieces from being forgotten and give them a story worth sharing. #furnituredesign #homeinspo #furniture #Home #paintedfurniture #DIY #french #antique #vintage #furniturerefinishing

This dresser came to us as a client-owned piece from American of Martinsville, a renowned name in mid-century furniture. While its quality construction, its bleached veneer presented a significant challenge when it came to refinishing. The result sparked some debate in the comments because of how the stain turned out—showing just how tricky it can be to work with non-stain grade veneers. The Hurdle If you’ve ever tried to work with mid-century bleached veneers, you know they can be a challenge. These veneers were manufactured with a unique process where the wood was chemically treated or lightly painted to create a specific look—often with a faux wood grain or lighter color. This treatment, combined with the nature of the wood itself, makes it nearly impossible to absorb stain evenly after stripping. To tackle this, I started by applying a chemical stripper to remove the existing finish. From there, I applied a base stain, sealed it with a topcoat, and layered water-based stain as a toner to even out the color. I even used touch-up products to refine areas that needed extra care. Each step was about balancing the wood’s natural look with a finish that would last. Why This Matters Understanding the difference between stain-grade and non-stain-grade veneers is key for projects like this. Veneers like this were never designed to showcase natural wood grain like walnut, cherry, or oak. Instead, they have a smoother, more uniform look that was popular in their time. While they can’t achieve the depth or dramatic character of high-grade veneers, they still offer a clean and classic finish when refinished correctly. It’s about working with the veneer’s unique properties to bring out its best, not trying to make it something it’s not. #furniturerefinishing #furniture #Home #homeinspo #savedbydesign #DIY #restoration #midcentrurymodern

It’s not just about the work of refinishing—it’s about knowing what to look for⤵️ First, let’s break down the numbers: We purchased this armoire as part of a four-piece bedroom suite that included a queen-size bed, a marble-top dresser, and a smaller marble-top washstand. The entire set was $1,500, so each piece came out to $375. We sold this armoire for $6,000 after approximately 18 hours of cleaning and reviving the original finish. We used about $25 worth of products, bringing our total expenses to $400. That means we earned a profit of $5,600 When flipping antiques, the real skill is recognizing value in pieces others may overlook. You need to train your eye to spot the things that matter: understanding the types of joinery that indicate quality craftsmanship, identifying the era of furniture to get an idea of its age, and knowing how to evaluate whether a piece is worth restoring in the first place. For this armoire, we made minor repairs, respectfully cleaned it with a gentle solution of water and Dawn dish soap, and revived its old finish using Howard’s Restor-A-Finish and Feed-N-Wax. Water and Dawn are safe when used sparingly. Always make sure to wipe back any excess to prevent the wood from becoming waterlogged, which could lead to damage. We used a few different blending products to cover repairs and match them to the existing finish, creating smooth transitions that kept the piece looking seamless. Products like Restor-A-Finish are particularly helpful in enhancing the aged character. Preserving the original finish can help to keep the piece's value high. Over-refinishing can erase its history and unique character, which are key factors in its worth. However, some pieces do gain value by being completely refinished—it’s all about educating yourself on what those determining factors are. #furnituredesign #furniture #Home #homeinspo #antique #history #restoration #furniturerefinishing
