My New Hobby

So I have taken up refinishing furniture. I love it! I guess it's really just chairs for now, but I want to do a dining room table when I find the right one.
I also can never find exactly what I want when it comes to furniture for my house and for photographs. So I decided to start designing and 'making' my own.
After I get my collection done, I plan on making some to sell. If you are interested, let me know! I would love to get new ideas and show what I can do!
I lost the before pics of this chair! It was DISGUSTING. It was a fast food restaurant chair or something. It was BAD!

Yeah.. I have no idea what happened to the before pics. This chair wasn't too bad, just boring. It's so cool now. Purple with a Pleather seat.
And there's this one... here are the before. Retro green upholstery... oak finish.. Nasty and a B**CH to sand! And here is the finished product... This is my personal favorite!
I love the little crabs! I thought it was to die for. So cool. I don't have the PERFECT place for it yet, but thats my personality... I just do what I like and eventually it all ends up going together!

  2. Thanks Nicki! I am loving it! I am getting a HUGE dining room table next week and am going to refinish it. It's tough to do it without a garage and only a small patio to work on, but I do it anyway! It's such a fun thing to do, and if you're really good, it can be cheap! :)
