Go waste those efforts on fake Adirondack chairs and "charming" bird houses. You have ruined a part of history.

I'm sticking to the wood, as it fits with the decor I'm going for in my house, but I love the way handles look. (Mine doesn't have any.) I'll have to keep an eye out!

Also incredibly rude to just give you his/her opinion when I don't believe you asked for it!! When I wanted to have our oak trim painted (arthritis keeps me from doing that big of a job myself), two different painters told me that I 'couldn't' paint my oak trim... My answer? I paid for it, it's mine - I've enjoyed it for 17 years, and I can paint it! I really like the waterfall desk - I think I'm going to search for one myself. Nice job on the distressing also.

Sorry people are so free with their opinions. I love antique wood furniture, but I also appreciate a well painted piece when it is done in good taste and offers an improvement on the original. Sometimes dark wood can be dull. You did a beautiful job!

Yes, I could ...Hi, thanks for stopping by the blog. Yes, I could have easily brought back the original luster of this piece if that's the look I'd been going for. Everyone has different taste, and that's what makes all of this so fun and unique. I trust that your dining room set is beautiful, but I also trust that it matches your style and taste. I happened to LOVE how this piece turned out, and I found a buyer who was ecstatic to have found this piece just the way it is.

I can't believe you covered up all that wonderful wood grain color and depth, which you could have easily brought back to a gorgeous luster with Restore-a-finish or something similar. I have a deco dining room set which I did that to years ago, and it's still the nicest furniture in the house. Oh well, maybe someone will buy it and strip off the dumpy-looking fake-antique paint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
