Have an antiquiqe shelf my mom had beside her bed as a child.

Mary Insana on Nov 10, 2013Can you post a picture of it so we can see what it looks like now with the varnish off. I would try to leave the cigarette burns on it if they are from your Mom. I know it sounds a little weird but those are your Moms footprints left on the shelf. I think the easiest and cheapest way to restore it would be to buy some stain that already has a top coat in it lke Mini Was Poly Stain .You can either restore it to a similar color or change the color completely.Helpful Reply
