I find pieces that are made before partical board and mass produced furniture made by machines were the only way your furniture was made. I love the "old school" craftsmanship and how everything is solid. Nowadays, its hard to give a piece a second chance because of the materials used. I'm able to sand down the old wood and prime then give the piece a new updated look that's ready for any beachy cottage, eclectic or even modern home. It all works. Here's a few projects I've completed! Even old kitchen cabinet doors turned into a candle holder. Found old wooden cabinet doors, dry brushed them white and found a rustic metal votive glass candle holder from "Hobby Lobby " for 3 bucks, attached to door and ta-da! A great wall piece. They look great on either side of a bed. Also I've used chalkboard paint and painted the center to some of these doors and added a
couple of glass knobs for an excellent message board and key holder for the kitchen. Enjoy and thanks for looking.
