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.

Canopy bed turned into a bench

This is a customer supplied antique canopy bed that has been in family a very long time. She did not want to get rid of it but also did not have use for it in the current form.

Above is a picture that she sent us to see if we could make a bench from this bed. The issues that she needed addressed was , it was too tall (8 ft tall at the post), too wide over 4 1/2 ft wide, wanted different color. The room she envisioned it going into was the guest room and it had no closet, so she wanted some rails around the top for guest to hang clothing. We ended up cutting it down to 3 ft wide and just under 6 ft tall with antique white and a dark stain. 

(yes the paint scheme was based on the horse "Frankie" in the background)

Table Transformation

Table transformation from drab to fab 

We were contacted by the Seeger family, about reviving their dinning room table. After several conversations, we decided that they shared our vision and we agreed to take on the project 

The dinning set was in great shape solid wood (with 3 leaves "surprise"), but they wanted it to have a more dramatic flare. 1st step was to take everything apart and remove the original finish and stain with the sander (no chemicals used).

The base and chair spindles and legs were all painted 3 coats antique white, then sanded smooth to remove all brush strokes, and given a light distress. 

   We added a custom graphic to the top via heat transfer and added the darker stain and multi coat poly urethane finish.  

The finished product turned out great 

and was delivered in time for Christmas festivities.

The Appleby's tables

We were contacted by a repeat  customers the Appleby family. They were just getting ready to move into a new house and they wanted to see if we could help with a new dining table and chairs, plus a couple side tables to go with the other pieces that they have from us. Of course we were happy to help them and design something that would add the Appleby touch to the new home.

The first thing that we tackled were the dinning chairs (all six of them) that were a perfect match for a tired farm table that we had found a few years ago. 

 Each chair was had the seat taken off and was completely sanded, then stained and several coats of polyurethane were applied.

On the table it presented it's own set of challenges, due to the fact that it had been in the barn awaiting it's time in the sun that one of the legs had rotted at the bottom. So we had to get all 4 legs made and the rest was sanded down and made ready for image transfer and staining.  

 For the image we made a custom one to show the establishment the Appleby family.

Here is the table and chairs in their new home. 

Below are the other Appleby's tables from the 3 Spurz, so far.
