Bring the Beauty of an Antique Treasure.

I found this at a garage sale for $10.00. I knew exactly what I should do.
1. Clean it up.
2. DON'T PAINT IT
3. Use some elbow grease and get to work!

I use would deck cleaner in a spray bottle. 75 years of of old polish and gunk came right off.
Tung oil was all it needed. It has a couple bits missing here and there. Even a couple love marks, but just look at it!!
A platter for our keys and Bed Bath and Beyond coupons. A light, and a baby fern that will great my guests.
Enjoyed the project?

Katrina Warren on Aug 04, 2015@Stephanie Catalfio Mold What an incredible find for $10.00! I love that you took the time to restore this gorgeous old piece rather than slapping paint over it! I think I would have put just a bit of stain on that back piece in the corner just to make it blend. Just beautiful, great job!
