A beautiful cherry dining room set |
Refinishing brought out the beautiful veneer work on this dresser |
|
“Waterfall” is the style of this dresser. |
A bride secretly had this rocker restored and presented it to her new husband on their wedding day. |
|
A beautiful cedar chest ready for blankets. |
We were able to refinish the table without disturbing the original leather top by masking it off and then carefully hand stripping the piece. |
|
This chest of drawers catches the eye with it’s subtle highlights of color in various areas |
This secretary required a little veneer repair on the bottom drawers before refinishing. |
|
Our customer requested 5 additional leaves for this mahogany table. The table was fitted with new metal slides to accommodate the total length and we fabricated the support leg to add stability. The table and new leaves are ready for any large family gathering. |
After standing in a flooded basement, the wood in these pool table legs had started to separate. We were able to repair them and touch up the ruined finish. Eight ball, anyone! |
|
This pair of almost identical rockers was brought in together but then the customer decided to have only one redone. It makes for a dramatic side-by-side picture! |
New upholstered seats, cane repair and refinishing make this dining table and chairs stunning. |
|
We carefully taped off the hand painted decoration. The rest of the piece was hand stripped then refinished to match the background in the painted area. |
This unusual high chair is a family heirloom. |
|
Wicker can be repaired so it is hardly noticeable when painted or finished. |
Repaired wicker repainted. |

Wardrobe-Before |
Wardrobe-After |
One features a portion of a bedroom suite we refinished for a family. This was the first suite they purchased together when they were married 35 years ago. After removing the old painted factory finish, they came in for a color consult and were happy to see the hickory and walnut underlying the paint. The only color added is the trim in the groves.

A walnut upright piano purchased during the 1920's by a lady's parents in downstate Indiana. She learned to play on it and left it at the family home when she moved to LaPorte with her husband in the 1950's. In the 1980's, after the Mrs. had passed away, the husband brought it to LaPorte from the early family home and had it restored. It was to be left to his son, a professional musician in the St. Louis area. |

A 1950's era kitchen table refinished and restored to its original appearance, as close as possible. Prior to removing the old finish, pictures and tracings of the original design were made to use as a guide during reproduction. |
Finishing area with spray booth and plenty of space to set up pieces to blend colors or work on multiple orders. Daylight is useful for matching colors. |

Dunbar chair-After |
A set of Dunbar chairs that had broken backs at the top on the horizontal chair frame is featured. The upholstered sub frames were molded plastic.
We routed out a space to accept a metal mending plate spanning the break, then used epoxy to bond the plate to the sub frame.
