Remember the mid century modern bar I wrote about in January? Well, it only took 9 1/2 months but we finally got around to refinishing the bar. It would have happened sooner but just around the time the weather got nice for outdoor refinishing I conceived and I was unable to do the work. Finally, here we are in late September and it's complete and ready for sale:
Before:
this is what I call "dead" wood...
After:
voila, brought back to life!
We ended up taking out the pre-cut circle cup holder piece because it was really warped and beyond repair. It was a thin piece of pressed wood, while this is real wood underneath. Much better I think.
We would actually love to keep this but we truly do not have a space for it. Need a bigger house I guess! My husband just loooooves when I say that. Not!
looks excellent...u can make it more usable without the cup holder thing i guess...it looks cool...i can wait to see how u finish up the walldivider/desk u bouhgt last week
ReplyDeleteIn the meanwhile, hope ur little one is not troubling u much :)
Thanks Sudha! So far I feel great! Since I got through the horrible first trimester it's been a breeze.
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely; nice job with the TLC.
ReplyDeletewow. super gorgeous! nicely done. the wait was worth it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous! I love it! And like Sudha, I can't wait to see the wall unit too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling good and the pregnancy is going well. I also can't wait to see your new little vintage collector.
The other day, I asked my 23-month-old grandson what his dad was doing, and he piped up with, "Dada buyin' fun-cha." We're going to make a little picker out of him yet! :)
Dana, that is so adorable and funny! I don't see how my little guy won't end up being a picker, or at least have an appreciation for vintage. My husband and I say he's going straight into the Bjorn with a little hat and coming to sales with us!
ReplyDeleteNice job! I have a few things I need to redo as well. I hope I can do as good a job as you!
ReplyDeleteOhhh my....I'm picking my jaw up off the keyboard. Simply FABULOUS! Beautiful job. I want it! (these blogs are just downright dangerous to the well being of one's heart - I think I'd better get off here & go eat oatmeal ;- )
ReplyDeleteLove it! You did a fantastic job!
