I Restored Some Art Deco Furniture - WAS IT WORTH IT?

- Water stains, oil stains, and flaking, oh my! I bought these pretty rough vintage "night tables" from FB marketplace. But these are actually the two pedestals of a vanity that was disassembled at one point. There are a ton of finish issues; there's no denying this needs a full refinish.
I needed to fully strip these, patch some veneer, get rid of the water stains, stain, tone, seal, and polish. But nearly a week later, these are UNBELIEVABLE!

THANK YOU! Thank you for not making them *modern,* for not making the contrast screaming black, for not replacing the pulls, for not spraying them with gold paint, and for bringing these beauties back to life. Such gorgeous work!
?
There are some things that should absolutely be modernized to ensure they remain in use. Designers back then made mistakes too. But there are also some pieces, like these, that just look SO much better refreshed, and as the designer intended.
I wholeheartedly concur with Molly 😊😊 Angie, you worked your magic again - these stands look fabulous !!
Amen!
Oh yes, beautiful! 🤗👍💖
The fact that you celebrated the beauty of a tree that was felled 100 years ago brings tears to my eyes. Absolutely stunning and a fitting tribute to the material of which it is made. Can’t see the patch at all. Wow, have you got skills!!!! I continue to be blown away by your work.
Thanks so much for watching!
I think one can never go wrong restoring to the original aesthetic. Art Deco lends itself to virtually any period of the last hundred years and what a beautiful restoration this is.
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you like it! 😀
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you.
I’m at a loss for words to describe how beautiful these night stands are now. Your artistry and attention to detail makes every piece that you redo, outstanding.
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
What you did with these is perfection! The veneer is so beautiful and the graining is almost luminous! It draws you in. I love your work and love the fact that you respect the beauty, artistry and vision of the original designs. Thank you for honoring what’s there. Everything doesn’t have to be modernized.
Thank you so much for watching Sandy! I'm glad you like how they turned out. 😊
The wood grain is absolutely beautiful! The black contrast...WOW! These are so very beautiful!💞
Thank you very much!
Although this isn’t my favourite genre of furniture style, I love how they turned out! You were right, not to paint, but to maintain the beautiful grain. What a lot of work! you did so well.
A true furniture restorer, few and far between. The side stands are beautiful all due to your professionalism.
Wow Lynn! Thank you very much!
I agree! You are a true furniture restorer who knows her craft very well. It’s beautiful and you are just brilliant!
"Jaw dropping" is not an exaggeration - the wood grain on the fronts of the drawers is astonishing, and mirror-like. They were beautifully made, so congratulations on giving these pieces the second wind they truly deserved. They are stunning, and your craftsmanship is impeccable.
Wow, thank you very much!
I had a vanity like this when I was a kid. This was back in the 1970's, and it was not considered vintage or antique at the time. It was considered 'old and outdated.' But, during the time I spent with that particular piece, I fell in love with art deco furniture because of the curvilinear design and the gorgeous veneers and inlaid wood that so many examples from that era have. You've done a beautiful job of bringing these two back to their former glory. It was a real pleasure to watch!
Thank you so much for watching! I'm thrilled you like how they turned out. 😊
I think what makes you such a special craftsperson and artist, is your innate sense of vision of how to bring out the best qualities of each piece you refinish. I think you did exactly what these two pieces deserved to bring out their true beauty, without compromising their style or original character. They look stunning! Also, Nacho is just the cutest!
You always have such wonderful comments! I appreciate that so much and I'll give Nacho a hello from you. Thanks so much for always watching! 😺
Your respect for the history of furniture was the first trait I noticed. Then I saw your attention to detail and mad skills and I immediately subscribed. This transformation is amazing! In my opinion brand new furniture is highly overrated. Few if any new pieces will last 20-25yrs. These nightstands have had a long life. Thanks to you they are starting a new chapter. Well done!
Welcome to my channel! I agree with you on the newer furniture, they are not made like they used to be AND we're so quick to throw things away. We've got to do a better job with this planets resources. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you, you did an amazing job, great work on that patched draw. They don’t make furniture like this anymore. I know old furniture isn’t all that popular at the moment, but I love it, and it will make a come back. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺
This is one of the most beautiful outcomes you have done.(that I've seen) I absolutely love these. First of all the 1930's style of course, but what you did was nothing short of a miracle! I am 77 years old and I remember this type of furniture in my Grandmother's home. However, her brand new furniture didn't come anywhere near the beautiful finish you gave them! Thank you so much for appreciating old furniture and working so hard to not just refinish it, but restore it! You are an Artist!!!❤😊
Thank you so much 😊
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery 💓
Ikr? I started watching because my Great Aunt had this vanity set. Or at least one very similar. So cool she preserved time immortal
These turned out BEAUTIFULLY!! I'm so glad you didn't paint them, but instead brought them back as close as possible to what they originally looked like. Much appreciated from a fan of this Era!! ❤️
I'm so glad you like them! Thank you so much for watching! 😃
So much to learn from watching you! What do u do to small bubble on veneer
Stunning! There is no possible way these could have been any better than the way you did it Angie. You are so truly talented
Thank you so very much Lorrie! I really appreciate that!
These are absolutely stunning! Love your video content! 🙌🏼♥️🐈
Yes, I agree, really beautiful
These are absolutely gorgeous. I love this era of furniture design and appreciate that you maintained the original style and didn't try to modernize it. The finish and the contrast are beautiful. 👍🏾❤️
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Whoever made the original furniture piece must be looking down smiling and saying "What a great job restoring them! Thanks for taking the time to do that" 😁
I love that, thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous! I’m so glad you chose to go with the original look
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful job. That finish was much too fine to cover. Thanks.
They might be art deco, but they look chic and not out of place for a modern bedroom. I love them! You have given them back their grace and self respect. Awesome job Angie x
Thank you kindly!
These end tables are GORGEOUS! I love that you kept them as they originally would have looked, like art deco furniture should look like! You did a fantastic job! It’s a good thing I live far away, or my husband would be upset with me buying your furniture!😂
Thanks so much! 😊
No kidding! So many pieces I see I would snap up in a heartbeat if I didn't have such a small house!
You brought them back to life and enhanced their beauty...you have the magic touch! Thank you for sharing your innate gift...❤
You are so welcome! 😀
I very rarely comment on the many videos I see but I must commend you on such a wonderful restoration of these pieces. Those same pieces could have been restored by countless CZcamsrs but, I seriously doubt ANYONE else would have gotten such an incredible result! I am so very impressed and inspired. You excelled on this and hope someone paid all the money to enjoy these in their home!
Thank you so much for watching Gary!
Haha! ..paid all the money...😂
@@lindamcgough3645 as opposed to some of the money?
I love how you always keep as close to the original as possible. Your attention to detail is unsurpassed. The patch in the veneer was amazing. I enjoy hearing you explain as you go along. Another example of your perfectionism resulting in the finished product. Outstanding!
Wow, thank you!
The transformation is astonishing! I'm so glad you restored them back to their former glory, instead of painting them. Your patience and attention to detail is exemplary. In short, your work is absolutely amazing. Thank you for posting this video!
Thanks for watching!
This vanity looks so much like part of my grandmother’s 1920’s bedroom suite! I’m so glad you were able to restore the wood. Your skill at matching the color and wood grain, was in evidence once again. Absolutely beautiful work. I’m sure you will agree, that this wouldn’t have come out as well, without your helper. His tapping your hand to remind you of “Lefty loosie, righty tightness”, was such sound advice!
Oh absolutely! It's a good thing I have him to remind me. 😉😺 Thanks so much for watching!
Angie, your work is stellar. The pieces come to you crying "Make me pretty again...please" and you do, even if you must use paint. 😉 Even if I had artistic talent I wouldn't have thought to do the restorations in this way. They're just glorious and I wouldn't change a thing. The way you engineered the veneer patches so perfectly is artistry.
Oh and as always, I love your music. Bravo, Angie! You're amazing, and your fans love you, too!
Thank you so much for watching Kristi!
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery
Of course! I never miss one. There's only one problem with your content... there's not enough of it! I yearn to see more of you and am always excited when when I see a new post. 💕 🐈 🐾
Having worked as a picker for years, i've seen a lot of waterfall-style furniture, but i've never seen a restoration to match this. I was never fond of the style, but damn, you may have changed my mind. They're stunning! Heck with your detractors - you know what you're doing and you never seem to make a misstep in your style decisions. Great work!
Too right. I was thinking the same and, although I don't like Art Deco, I'd love to have those 😊
Thank you for the support Doree - I really appreciate it! 😊
Oh, my... that wood grain is gorgeous! It looks almost layers of translucent wood veneer and amber. Outstanding! I know this took a lot of time, but the final appearance is amazing. Thanks for rescuing these beautiful pieces.
You're so welcome Astrin! Thanks so much for watching and I'm so glad you like how the turned out.
I can just imagine Clark Gable having these in his Master suite. Gorgeous!
Haha thank you so much! ☺️
I love the wood furniture. I prefer it over painted furniture most of the time. I’m in awe over the patience and detail you use in your work. Fantastic result.
Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Oh Angie, it would have been a crime to cover up that stunning woodgrain with paint! You did such an amazing job - you have resurrected those nightstands - they are absolutely to die for.
What a labour of love, all that effort so hugely rewarded!
Of course, all credit to Nacho too for being the project manager & keeping the priorities in the right order!! He is adorable. 💝
Yes that woodgrain is stunning, definitely a no brainer to save it, if it could be saved! Thanks for watching!
These are absolutely stunning. How lucky these two "grannies" met up with you. You didn't try to give them a face lift and turn them into something they are not. You respected their age and history, and the beauty within. Wow. Just wow. I wish I lived closer as I'd be telling my spouse we were getting new "old" nightstands. Art deco is my favorite era for all fashion. Love, love, love these.
Grannies is the best term to describe them! ❤😂
Thanks so much for watching Kiki!!
I'd love a whole house of waterfall furniture because the 1920s and early 30s is my favorite!
They shimmer! Absolutely GORGEOUS 😍 ❤️
Thank you so much!
These are absolutely stunning! I’m so glad you restored them to their original glory. They’re perfect as you’ve done them. Any modernizing would have been a crime. I love your work, and this set in particular brings joy to my heart. Please do more like this. Seeing this transformation and restoration is a balm for the weary soul.
Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad you like how they turned out! Isn't that wood grain something??
Art deco is a lovely style, I’m so glad you recreated the original look, the wood grain is beautiful. Love your many toed cat. ❤
Thanks so much for watching!
I agree completely! This is my first time watching the video and I thought I was hallucinating a thumb on your cat! Love this btw
Oh. My. Gosh. How beautiful !!! Thank you for saving and restoring them to their former glory! Maybe they won’t fetch much now but you have enabled future generations to appreciate art deco style! ❤
The person who bought them is actually putting them in an old Victorian that is being restored. 😊
Just beautiful! So glad you restored the wood and didn't just paint them. Worth every bit of your time and effort. And Nacho sure is becoming a great helper!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 😺
Art deco isn’t a style I personally prefer, but these turned out incredible! Your skill and attention to detail is truly remarkable, and I continue to be amazed by your dedication to giving every piece the love it deserves.
Thank you kindly!
OHMYGOSH Angie....they are beautiful!!!!! I love that you restored them to their original splendor and not made them modern. You are an artist in wood restoration and I'm blessed to have found your channel and see you return pieces to their former glory....❤
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
I love that kitty is your " manager" because we all know they really are in charge!
Ohhhh yes, they sure are!! 😊
Absolutely gorgeous!! Your ability to see what these lost pieces could be and the patience to bring them back to life is just amazing, Such a wonderful talent that you share with us.💕🌺🌸
Thank you so much!
You really did a masterful restoration of these Deco treasures. Brava!
Thank you kindly!
Beautiful restoration. It seems like most people take the easy way out and stress paint the furniture. 😤 You take the time and let the beauty shine through as was intended. Bravo! 👏
Thank you so much for watching!
This is not a restoration, it is a resurrection! Beautiful work! I don't mind painted furniture, but this pair is made to be admired in its original beauty.
Thank you very much! ☺️
Great patching! Great office space! Any piece of furniture from before 1950 deserves to have an original finish restored. Art Deco was a great time for design. And finally, you're so lucky to have such a wonderful helper. 😺
I have to disagree with that as a general statement. Some things should definitely be restored. But much like modern day designers, olden day designers sometimes got things wrong. Or the items were not taken care of properly and are destroyed. Or just aren’t practical anymore and end up in landfills. Being useful, for me, sometimes trumps being fully restored. So I consider each piece individually, rather than the idea that every single piece of mediocre furniture needs restoration. THESE pieces though- these are a no-brainer for me. That wood grain is out of this world!
Simply gorgeous! I was worried early that you would paint but so relieved you didn't. I view painting as a last resort or if it's a laminate, paint can really enhance the item. I like that you explain what you are doing and why-so informative. Just beautiful! Thank you
Thank you so much for watching!
Those tables were born to be in the beautiful condition you achieved. This may be my favorite flip ever. Absolutely spectacular!!!!
Wow, thank you so very much!! I really appreciate that!
These are too beautiful to tuck away in a seldom visited bedroom! They need to be front and center for everyone to enjoy!
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
Wow! I love your choices! I didn't realize how complicated repairs can get! Love them! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! 😊
Meticulous care shows craftman's heart. Love your work and aesthetic.
Thank you very much!
These are perfection, Angie! They make me think of traveling on a luxurious train in the 1930s, in one of the beautiful private cabins. The two-tone effect is gorgeous. I love the contrast. It sets off both the woodgrain and the trim details. You have done an amazing job.🌸
Thank you so much Deborah! I'm so glad you like how they turned out. 😊
Your love & respect for these deco pieces, coupled with your thoughtful & helpful commentary make this a most enjoyable video lesson. Your work and choices are perfect for these found treasures. Well done!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like how they turned out! 😃
They are just stunning. When others would put a coat of paint on them and call it a day, you made them look like they were always meant to.
Thanks for watching!
Your time and efforts are rewarded by the final results of each of your restorations. These are beyond beautiful. Thank you for doing what you love.
Thank you so much for watching Marilyn!
Hi Angie! Happy Sunday to you and your fam! Holyyyyyy smokessssss!!! That is one gorgeous restoration! ❤ I am a huge fan of your work. I think I may have said that before, but no joke, every single restoration never fails to amaze. The pieces come to life not only of themselves but the energy and love they receive is evident. I have watched many restoration videos…enough to say that i don’t often sigh with satisfaction when the reveal is made, that is until I see one of your pieces revealed. Fantastic job as always. Oh and Nacho… he’s the best helper🥰🥰🥰!!!
Wow Lisa! What a great comment, that made my day! Thank you so much for your kind words and I'll pass your message along to Nacho. 😺😊
Love Nacho’s business card 😂❤
OMG Angie you did an AMAZING job! You brought these sad babies back to their original beauty! I'm so happy you didn't make them modern. It kills me that someone butchered an Art Deco vanity but I realize they're out of fashion right now. They're gorgeous and I'm glad they will live on for many more years!
Unfortunately no one has room or use for the older vanities now and they get tossed and thrown into the landfill. If splitting them up saves them, I have to support it. Thanks for watching!
These are lovely, Angie! It must be so satisfying to rescue these pieces and give them new life! I love your attention to detail- that golden grain when you applied the Odie's Oil was breathtaking! Thanks for sharing!
Thank YOU for watching Nancy and your kind words! Much appreciated!
So gorgeous! I absolutely love that you kept true to the original finish; I love the art deco waterfall shape and the wood just glows after this restoration. I wish I lived in your area; I would buy these in a heartbeat. Also, I'm glad that you are finally putting Nacho to work. With his opposable thumbs, there is no reason he can't help you fish cords in your new office.
😆 I agree - let's put those extra toes to work! Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad you like how they turned out!
So beautiful! I love watching these transformations because you do such a meticulous job and are so sweet about the work. Gentle teaching, never egoic lecturing! While you are 100% entitled to an opinion I really appreciate your low key approach. Thank you Angie for your WONDERFUL content! TFG is so soothing to watch.
You're most welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Honestly, fhis video brought tears to my eyes. Your love in restoring these paid so much respect to the original maker. I hope whoever owns these will feel the love and positive energy put into these pieces. Well done ❤d
Thank you so much!! I'm so pleased you like them!! ❤️
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery - These turned out AMAZING!!
I'm betting that you've been called The wood whisperer more than once!! As this is my first time to your channel, may I ask if viewers can purchase these items, or do you have an online store? Again, great job!! 🙂
Just prior to this I watched a guy rip a piece apart with unsuitable tools (too narrow) and he did so much needless damage which he didn't mind at all. What a thug- and I'm watching through my fingers. But his lady was such a joy to watch! (Men are actually super-sensitive and caring with wood- so it was weird seeing that other channel!)
oh yes.... me too!!
This couldn’t have come at a better time. I am working on an art deco set of bedside tables converted from a vanity. It was in such bad shape it would have ended up at the landfill. Unfortunately this vanity was nailed together, not screwed in place. So it needed a LOT of filler and sanding. I am disabled so I can only work on this for a very short time before I have to stop. That being said, you did an amazing job and I learned a lot from the video. So when I get to the point of refinishing I will use the ideas I picked up from you. Cant wait for the next video!
Oh I'm really glad to hear I could help. Thanks so much for watching and best of luck with your project! 😊
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for all your hard work to bring these two pieces back to their originality! ❤️
You are so welcome!
Love that you stayed with the original aesthetic. They are beautiful
I'm so glad you like them!
These side tables were so lucky you found them. They were so sad looking and you've given them so much life! I love all your choices, you did a fabulous job. You're so inspiring, I really admire how much effort you put into each piece that you take on. I love this channel, your work, Nacho, and all you do to save things - not just save but return to glory, lol. Well done, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for your incredible comment Heather, I really appreciate that!
These are exquisite! If I didn’t already have night stands I love, I would be trying to figure out how I could get these. You really brought them to life! You honored their roots stylistically and made them so that anyone would be proud to show them off. Also, can I just say what a fantastic job you did with replacing the large veneer chip. Not only matching the grain as much as possible, but also when you used the grain “ink” to color it to match. Booked veneer brings its own set of special difficulties and you triumphed!
Thank you so much for watching and your support! Very much appreciated!
Beautiful…love them just the way u did them!❤️
Thank you so much, I appreciate the feedback!
They are absolutely stunning. So happy you left them original ❤️❤️❤️
Glad you like them! 😊
Wow, they are stunning !
Love the lines of art deco ❤
Thank you very much!
About the look you gave these vs. something "more modern", I think they came out really well and can't imagine what a more modern look would be that would actually be better. They look great! Your hard work really paid off here.
Thank you so much for the feedback David, much appreciated!
You're a true artist!! I love that you appreciate the furniture pieces that you find and the degree to which you go to bring them back to their original beauty! Wonderful that these pieces won't be lost to future generations as I'm sure that this piece will have at least another 50 years of life & love in its future also. Thank you!
You're so welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching!
This is the old dilemma: tear pieces apart so they can be used or keep them original and maybe unsalable. Your work, as always, is a masterpiece. Beautiful wood and great match patching.
Thank you so much for watching!
I'm always amazed at what you can do with furniture that I would consider not worth it. LOL However, you do such a wonderful job at restoring them. Congrats! You keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching!
Your attention to detail & love of furniture restoration really shows as your finished pieces are fabulous.
Thank you very much!
Hello Angie, long time subscriber, first time comment…you got me on this flip. I saw the skills you’ve taught us, decisions you made to make the piece better and the passion you give every piece-what a memorable outcome. Thank you! I also appreciated the summary of products in the end-I know it takes effort and practice with them and you continue to inspire me. Thanks again! Peter
Thank you so much Peter! I really appreciate your kind words!
The older furniture was made to last and you are reviving the beauty. I would love to have such abilities. Keep the old alive. 😊
That's the plan!
These are spectacular! The bookmarked drawer fronts are priceless. I really admire your work!
Thank you so much!
I've watched this restoration at least 10x and never get tired of seeing the pieces come to life. So artistic! It honors the original craftspeople that designed and built them. Thank you.🙏
You're so welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
Stunning work! These pieces glow with life! Your artistry is amazing!
Thank you so much!
You are so sensitive and caring and succeed in giving a second beautiful life to these nightstands.
Awe, thank you! 😊
These turned out fantastic. I love the beautiful wood grain and rounded edges of the pieces from this time period, love the art deco style and so has you breathed them back to life instead of a modern finish. You have amazing skills.
Thank you so much for watching!
Wow these are beautiful Angie! Perfect respectful and elegant treatment. I'm glad vanities are turning into end tables. No one uses vanities anymore and they're of no use for storage. Really beautiful work as usual.
Thanks so much for watching!
Stunning! Love their vintage Art Deco look and waterfall sides. Absolutely awe inspiring. I can't wait to give it a go and save something from a land fill. That's one reason why I exclusively watch your channel because of your common sense desire to reuse, reimagine, recycle and repurpose. I don't like a throw away mentality. And your straightforward explanations, commentary and great camera angles showcase all of your talent. Thank you!
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you for giving them their life back. Beautiful.
My pleasure! 😊
I think these might be one of my favorite projects you’ve shared. They’re stunning, the patch is amazing, the beautiful wood is like art and you’re an artist. Also, since I LOVE your work, your channel, your personality and your fur babies, thank you for sending a bit of oldies oil love out.
Thanks so much for watching!
Yes, yes, yes and YES!!
Great job! They’re beautiful!
Thank you, I really appreciate that!
I feel like there's just so many pieces out there that aren't so beautifully made that could be painted and "modernized" that we should leave nice ones like these more original. They are just so smart looking, love them, and the bread pulls really compliment the wood tones well❤️
The woodgrain on these made them a no-brainer. If they could be restored, they needed to be. Thanks so much for watching!
I made what can only be described as the mistake of over-zealousness. I picked up a couple of Broyhill end tables a guy started to refinish and gave up on, thinking I would finish what he started. Turns out the tops are some kind of metal with a wood veneer glued on - and now halfway sanded off. I am still annoyed that Broyhill did such a thing. My fault for letting the excitement of free project tables get in the way of actually looking at them, first.
Can you say, “paint?”
I'm close to having watched all your videos in the last 3 days. Thank you for sharing your process with us!
You're incredibly welcome! 😊
Oh my goodness, these are outstanding! This transformation really showed your immense knowledge and perfectionism. Perfectionism in a good way. They have been beautiful pieces of furniture for about 100 years and they deserve to shine again. This amount of knowledge in one so young is amazing.
Thank you so much!
Just absolutely floored and blown away by this transformation. What an incredible labor of love ! Your talent is just limitless.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Angi these are absolutely gorgeous! You have such great instincts when it comes to your pieces. You are much to hard on yourself when it comes to others opinions. I am an artist and I know how hard it is to take others feedback when they have no stake in what you are doing. You are a kind, talented authentic soul and keep doing what your heart tells you. I always enjoy seeing the kitties and bunnies! Love your content and can't wait to see your next piece.
Thank you so much for the incredibly kind words Linda, I really appreciate that!
The contrast of the black and the veneer is perfect. Great design choices and beautiful execution.
Thank you so much! 😊
STUNNING. Wow, that was under there?! 100% the correct decision to refinish as you did. You just don’t see furniture like that these days unless it’s custom made. And I would argue that that streamlined Art Deco style is modern. Great job!!
Thanks so much!
I was so happy to see your video today! I was actually hit in the head with a 2x4 while working on my bathroom remodel. You (and Nacho) turned my day right around. 😊
OUCH Liz!! Are you ok??? That made me cringe. I'm glad we could improve your day - I really hope you aren't hurt too badly. Thank you for watching and be safe!!
Dear Liz Burgess,
I, too, hope for your quick and complete recovery. 👍🌹
Gorgeous job! To say that you brought the finish back to life is an understatement - they just glow! Your commitment to your craft is exemplary! Thank you!
You're so welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
These have come to life. They're absolutely beautiful! I love how you incorporated the darker stain at the bottom. Gorgeous
Thank you very much! 😀
Absolutely gorgeous!! I personally love the original finish!!
Thank you very much for the feedback!
Unbelievable transformation. So good to see people like you who can see the value in things others might pass by.
Thank you very much!
So beautiful. This style of Art Deco isn't what I'd personally have in my home, but I love that you stayed true to the era. Amazing work! Someone with a loving curated 1920s home will absolutely swoon over them. I hope they are purchased by someone who will fully appreciate their classic beauty.
They definitely were. Their purchaser loves them. Thanks so much for watching!
