A second life: rehabbing furniture


Evening out wood/stain

We are in full-on furniture mode now and are excited to take some absolutely awesome finds , rehabilitate, and give them a second life in the Snapdragon Inn. That's our mission rather than buying all new everything. It is very rewarding to take a piece of well used furniture and make it beautiful again.

We've uncovered some lovely wood under layers of stain in several dressers and side tables. Luckily, Chaz (our wonder mom) has a lot of experience refinishing wood furniture and has lots of tricks of her sleeve when using stains etc. We also got to priming and painting a headboard, side tables, and a desk. I've been taking lots of pictures and Room 7 and Room 8 are coming right together. More pictures to come!
