It is my passion to restore and refurbish old furniture. It doesn’t matter how broken or worn out it is. It is my goal to stop it from going to landfill and make it last another 100 years! I am a big believer in saving our antiques and preserving the history and original purpose of the furniture.
My videos will be as interesting as I can make them and hopefully I can share knowledge with viewers as I learn more and more new skills and techniques in the world of woodwork and restoration.
I am so glad you decided to go with a wax polish for the finish. This old girl deserved to be treated kindly. Looks lovely. I'm a relatively new viewer, so hadn't seen your dogs before. Lovely little fur babies. Good job.
Lovely job on the metal work and drawers… not so sure about the colour you used on the top…. That singer sewing machine body is to die for - what a beauty with the art nouveau decoration.
What an innovative idea for a likely redundant and a bit old fashioned style of furniture 😊 Loved what you did with it and it looks stunning 😍 You definitely need a few more books tho 😂😂 I need more space for my books I am a bit of a bookoholic 😂😂😂 rarely have time to read at the moment but one day I will then they will be there ready and waiting for me 😂 Those few sunny days disappeared quickly didn't they 😢 been nothing but blooming rain since and some days torrential 😭 Charlie and Sully are gorgeous 🥰 but Sully is a very sneaky boy and I bet for all the trying to stop him getting your dowels he will have got a few 😂😂
Hahaha my collection is pathetic but I’m the same as you, I just don’t get time to read 🙈 Yes the rain is really getting on my nerves. I’m trying to finish my garden! My flowers have really bloomed though which is lovely. Sully is the sneakiest boy in the world ha ha! He steals everything from me when I’m working and I’ll turn around to use a tool and it’s gone. This is his naughty teenager phase, so I’m told. 😂 He did get two dowels as well! He just outsmarts me all the time 😂 Poor Charlie sometimes wants peace from him so I have to separate them to give him some down time. That’s why you may have seen him looking through the patio window 😂 Lovely to hear from you. Take care ❤️
Hi Leanne!! Of course I came back for more!! Yours is my favorite channel!! I love to watch a woman work so hard doing such beautiful work, and it's not ME doing it. LOL This piece turned out especially beautiful. I love mahogany. The color is so warm and cozy. The boys had me laughing again, and so did you. I hope Sully didn't actually take one of your dowels. I always love to see them run on the beach and have fun. It was so nice to see you smiling and happy. I know that you love what you do, and you do it so well. It's very hard work, but so rewarding when it's complete. I did make a first step in refinished that old dresser I told you about last year. I bought a carbide scraper. Now, I just have to USE it. Maybe next year. Ha ha ha Summer is not the time to be doing much in the garage. It's hot and extremely humid. Fall is the best time of year, and I'm aiming for that. My husband is going to help me. Or so he says. He's the one who actually uses it, so I think that's added incentive to get it done, right?? Take care of yourself, and the boys. See you on the next one!!! Hugs!!
Hi Karen, hope you’re well. Thanks for coming back. It’s a shame the weather stops you from working. Fortunately we don’t have that problem here in the UK. Although we’ve had a few days of lovely sun while I’ve been off work. Once you start the dresser, you’ll get the bug. I’m certain of it. You can always reach out to me on Facebook if you need any help or encouragement 😊 Sully pinched two of my dowels. He’s too smart for me. Ha ha! He’s like stealth. 🥷 See you again soon. Take care ❤️
Looks great! I always enjoy watching your videos and I love your cocker spaniels Charlie and Sully! I have two also Bella and Bailey. Cockers have minds of their own but that’s what makes them so loveable!😊
They sure do! Ha ha. Keeps me on my toes but I love them both even though they’re so different from each other. My projects would be boring without them 😂
Snowman's Bones? Poor Frosty! I Can Only imagine the Grizzly Scene! But Nothing like that with these two Beauties! I Love the Plum Color. It's Very Purply! The Black Helps Keep it in Check. Love the Gold to. So Well Balanced.
Wow, Leanne!!! You sure outdid yourself on this armoire! Yes, you did pronounce it correctly! It turned out SO nice!! It was a lot of hard work to accomplish, and I kept wondering HOW in the heck did you get that big piece of furniture HOME??? I had visions of you strapping it to your back to bring it in. LOL!! You're such a tiny woman, that it should have been impossible for you to move around in your garage. As always, I enjoyed watching the boys. Sully is such a HOOT. He's so funny. I'll bet he sleeps a long time when he gets back from the beach. I wish I had 10% of his energy. I could get a lot of things done here. Thanks for the lovely video! I got the giggles when I saw you drinking from my "favorite" cup. It's too funny. I need to get one of those for myself. I hope your next piece is much smaller, and lighter in weight. I don't want you getting hurt. Take care of yourself, and your family. See you on the next one!!! Sending hugs!!!
Hi Karen, I wish I could say Sully does sleep but he just doesn’t ha ha! He’s a hyperactive boy 🤣 It’s hilarious that you know what I’m like, I am only 5 ft tall but if I wanna move something I just do it. I don’t know how but I always manage. This was a massive one but once the doors were off and the drawers and shelves were removed, it made it a bit easier. You may have noticed boulders on my garage floor? I carry one back each time I am at the beach (for my garden). Everyone laughs at me. 🤣 Glad you enjoyed the armoire video. I was worried it was too long but there was so much to pack in. Beach boys send their woof! ❤️ Take care, lots of love.
