The chair with a story .....

A repeat customer asked if we would take a student chair that was from a Univeristy of Georgia classroom. Come to find out several of their family members had gone to UGA , and in fact here mother and father meet while students there. 

Now I don't like to say something was ugly, but over the years someone had painted this whole chair a horrible green, and we had to strip it all the way down to raw wood.

Above is our vision with the UGA logo on the seat and the faux initials of the customers mother and father on the writing desk top. The legs are painted UGA colors and the upright spindles. It has been brought back to live in a place of honor instead of in the corner in the garage.

Cast iron desk

Cast iron desk/work table 

Treadle base console table

This table started with a pair of treadle legs and a piece of old barn wood. 

The drawers were added to give storage and the bottom shelf was added to give it the stability to stand up to any task.

1965 impala SS trunk lid console table

This is one of those pieces that speaks to you. That is, we picked up this trunk lid for a 1965 Impala a couple of years ago.  It had the look and we know that it would be a great piece, but as what? I had walked past this trunk in the barn so many times and then one day it spoke to me, "I'm a console table".

So, here is my interpretation of a 1965 Impala SS trunk lid console table. I cut the trunk and used the other part for a back and added shelves. The taillights are lite with LED's that are on a remote that lets you make them blink and brighten or dim. The base is all custom made hand bent flat bar. There is a surge protector mounted underneath, so you have a place to plug in your phone charger. This is the ultimate man cave statement piece for a car guy.

Beautiful serpentine front secretary desk with hand painted image

We found an old secretary desk that did not sell at an estate sale. It was in very bad shape, the sides were all split up and the bottom drawer was shot. Years of the bottom, with no legs,  being on a damp floor had left their marks.

With a vision and a lot of work, we were able to rescue this beautiful piece.

 

After all the structural repairs, and creating new legs, and finial. The painting and staining were followed with coats of polyurethane to seal up the wood. The drop down desk front has an French image from the Graphic Fairy hand painted on it. 

 

It is now ready for years of great service, for some lucky family.
