I think he's all done.  I decided to go mono tone in a neutral grey that can be accented to fit in with any decor.  The button detail and the wood touches are just enough detail to let him stand out in any setting.

Jon Jansen 7 piece dining suite

SOLD: Jon Jansen 7 piece dining suite


The set is all finished and looking happy.  These are lovely chairs to work with but boy do they take some effort.  I worked it out that each chair probably took nearly 5 hours to restore.  They really have to be a labor of love or you just wouldn't do it.  I think all restorers have to be a little crazy, either that or it's all the fumes & sawdust.

Sweet little drawers

SOLD: Sweet little drawers.


Picked up this sweet set of drawers this week.  They had such a lovely face, I felt a little sorry for it.  All solid wood meant there wasn't anything a little TLC and elbow grease couldn't fix.

60's/70's Sideboard

SOLD: 60's/70's  Sideboard


Honestly how many times can I change my mind?  I did want to keep this, but & it's a big but, anyone that has collected from me will know that space here is at a premium.  I really have no idea why this one endeared itself so much. There is just something about it.

Cute Wire Frame Chair

SOLD: Cute wire frame chair.




I decided to go with a super chunky fabric that I had.  It really brings out the frame structure and with a metallic thread running through it it visually plays against the metal frame.  It's a fab simple chair with just enough design detail to make it really interesting. Super sweet.

7 piece 60's dining suite.

SOLD: 7 Piece Dining Suite.


My shoulder feels like it is about to fall off but boy is it worth it.  I knew the Esquire Teal fabric would pop the mahogany frames but even I am impressed.  It sits so well together.  All the new webbing work has brought back the chairs comfort.  I couldn't be happier.

I ended up doing a few more tweaks today, and grabbed a little brighter weather to take some more pics. Gonna be hard to see this one go.
