About Me

I have been refinishing furniture since my early married years. You know the story, right. Okay, short version...newlyweds, law school, baby, no money. In student housing people would move out and leave any unwanted furniture next to the dumpster. Free for all! We needed furniture so I took it. I learned how to refinish so that at least my cinder-block walled apartment had some sort of charm. We graduated. We moved out. I took some of my treasures with me, I gave some away. This began a fun past time for me. I have not stopped refinishing. I ended up refinishing older furniture that was just out dated. Searching for discarded furniture that needed some love. Friends started asking me to help them refinish things. It's a stress release and a right brain thing for me. I realized I really don't have much more that I need to redo for myself and no room for new stuff. So I came up with this Win-Win strategy. I get to refinish and you get to buy! Hooray for both of us!

Black & White Nightstand

This nightstand is on the smaller size so it would be great in a child's room or even next to a bed that was not too high. It measures 21 in. tall, 17 in. long and 15 in. deep. I will probably add one more poly coating to it.
I am selling this for $60.

Lined drawers

This is such a classy versatile piece. You could put it anywhere in your house.

Here is what it looked like before its makeover. Sad little used up thing!
I love the way it turned out! Don't you?
