Restoration takes time, bringing back your furniture to its original condition is what matters most. We like to think of restoration as bringing back an item to what the cabinetmaker had in mind when he originally designed the piece.

	Late 1800's Eastlake desk with drop down leaves. Pieces of furniture in this style had low relief carvings, incised lines, moldings, geometric ornaments, and flat surfaces that were easy to keep clean. A beautiful example of the graceful and elegant lines influenced by Charles Eastlake.

After 26 years in business, this is the best before and after set of pictures. These green speckled dressers came in for refinishing. The customer had never seen them with their original finish and had no idea what was under the paint. As we began stripping, I ran to get the camera. To my amazement and delight, a diamond in the rough had been found. There must be six different types of veneer. It is simply stunning. It seems the young man's grandmother was an interior designer and wanted to update the dressers.

This is what makes our job rewarding.
