Restoration, Renovation and Refinishing of Antique Furniture

Furnishing a house or apartment, the correct placement of elements is a natural and non-alternative way to decorate the interior. A person himself cannot imagine his/her existence without these objects, whether it is a chair, a table or a bed. However, each thing has its own service life, over time it is getting old. For some, it is easier to throw away an old chest of drawers, a sofa that got worn out and lost its appearance, or, simply, gone out of fashion. Some believe that the best solution would be giving the beloved wooden or soft furniture a second life, meaning - furniture restoration.

It is well understood that often antique furniture requires a proper restoration, for example a 100 years old table or chairs that have more important sentimental value. Most of my clients have antique furniture taken from great-grandparents that is outdated over time and needs a proper work in order to make it back in order.

Reupholstery and Furniture Restoration

It is well known that a good professional can make the beloved table and chairs look like the new ones or sometimes even better. A good table has a great value, that is why a good table is expensive. First, it is the wood, to make a good quality table craftsmen take completely dry slabs. Did you know, for example, an oak slab has to dry about 12 years and for the walnut it takes about 8 years. Second, how the table is done, how much effort and skills have to be applied in order to make one. Such tables will serve for several generations. The only thing that can become old and scratchy is the surface. So people come to refinish the table surface and it is as new again.

It is time to Refinish Wooden Furniture
It is time to Refinish Wooden Furniture

I always get a question when the wooden furniture should be refinished. Of course we do refinishing work all year around but a really good time for wooden furniture refinishing is starting now - late spring, the whole summer till the middle of fall. It is the perfect time to do the refinishing of outdoor furniture: tables, benches, chairs, decks and patios. The wood during this season is perfectly dry and the refinishing process goes quickly and smoothly. 


I must say that even indoor furniture: tables, dressers, chairs etc are much better to refinish during summer than winter. During the summer season we have an augmented number of orders for outdoor wooden structures, decks, patios, sidings or fences.

The advantage of custom-made furniture is its originality, individuality, style and affordable price. Enterprises manufacture products in a single copy, guaranteeing uniqueness and high quality, in contrast to shops and salons selling standard models. When manufacturing according to an individual project, you can choose the materials, the colors you like, the finishes, the accessories, as well as the dimensions and general style of the product. This is convenient and beneficial for the customer, who, focusing on the cost of future finished products, will be able to make a purchase according to his material capabilities.
