Latest finds and updates

Here we are in October! I am still working for the census. We are supposed to finish field operations by midnight Monday but there are also things going on behind the scenes so it’s not over until it’s over. I could be here a week or two more, or another month. It’s hard to say!

That said, I managed to pick up a really cool 1959 dining room which needs a good cleaning and a few minor issues to tend to. The maker, Hoover Chair Company of Lexington, NC, went out of business in 1968. I have a dining table which has great legs, one leaf and the table pads are in great shape, matching one piece narrow china hutch and a compact credenza. There are also 6 dining chairs, 4 armless plus 2 with arms. They need a little tending to and new seat foam and fabric would put them over the top. Will price by the piece but if you are interested in building a set, bulk pricing available. As always, if you want to DIY the repairs I can give you my best price. Here are a few pics.

As found and ready for some new seats!

Beautiful blond china cabinet with glass doors and chrome hardware. Not mInt but far from trAshed. Priced to move locally!

Side board in it’s home since 1958! Comes with good juju as it’s former owner died at the age of 106! I do sage my storage area here and there to protect you from transient energY if you are sensitive to that kind of stuff! Hey, we are in october now so spookiest time if the year!

View of table. It has awesome legs and ferrule on the bottom. One leaf and original Custom table pads includeD. Will get pics soon. Want to make a few steel plate reinforcements for the blocks the legs screw in as over time has weakened them. One already has neen repaired. If it interests you let me know and i will get on it as fast as i can. I may keep the chairs and table together as a set. I think it may make more sense.

Farmhouse simplicity! Maple end table pair. Finish is in great shape. Only needs a few touch ups.

It’s a side table...it’s a humidor…it has a mosaic tile top!

Copper lining!

3 piece bookcase set! Solid wood with rustic style. Refinish or leave as is. Nice peg legs. Pier cabinets can be arranged separately! I have a heywood set just like it and it’s fun to play with!

I am working on getting the lane rhythm chairs redone! I have 2 more seats to do then onto cleaning up the wood. I have an interested party, if she passes they will hit the open market. Using a nice cream tweeD on thr seats which looks great with the walnut wood. The Creden from this lane dining room is being delivered to manhattan tomorrow!

My couch went to the upholsterer a few weeks back!

It’s going back together! Here is a sneak peEk of the back showing my new fabric! The supports are all done and he bought me 4” foam for the seat. Cannot wait to get it into mu living room! I just got the walnut monocoat fInish and will be working on the trim.

That’s a lot of update! I am really busy and of course, the end of the census got pushed back to the 31st of October now so my lay-off may be as well. Just going to ride out the wave and try to keep up. Reach out if you need me!

Fall sale on now. Meet my latest restoration!

Join me in my Etsy shop for my fall sale! 15% off many items. Find them in the Clearance section. Shipping to your door. 💗. Reach out if you need help with anything.

Live now!

My latest restoration is now complete! I took a fantastic mid century upholstered chair that had seen better days, chose some amazing fabric and had my upholsterer work some magic. The seat cushion is all new foam and there is added Dacron and stuffing as needed. This amazing fabric is an orangy red cotton velvet called Como and is part of the Michelle Nussbaumer line for Clarence House Textiles. It is luxurious and the light just bounces beautifully off it, I love the color so much. It will be nice with a neutral space and a great warm accent piece. The fabric is high quality and the specs have it coming in as a super sturdy choice. When you invest in a piece like this you want it beautiful and sturdy. Buy the best fabric you can afford. I sourced this at a discount rate and it is worth about $200/yard retail. Top of the line, made in Italy and designer. What more can you ask for? No big box mcm knockoff will compare to the real deal with high end fabric, just sayin, without further adieu…..

Taken in the late rvening setting sun, thid pic, no filter required, goves you a look at the Way the light bounces snd pops that color.

From th backside of the light you get a feel of the real color. It is quite the chameleon. A lovely piece- mid century only better! Available now and coming soon to my chairish shop where you can get an instant shipping quote.

That’s all for now. Taking my Pearsall couch to the upholsterer this weekend! It will be a while until it is done, I am sure, but I cannot wait! Our old couch is on it’s last legs! Stay tuned!

Here we go! Barn couch save!

Heading into fall and freedom!

Hey all! Crazy times at the office while census ops are in full swing. We are supposed to be done by Sept 30th and we will probably be done with our work before that. My last day is coming soon! It’s been a wild ride but I am thankful for all the money they pumped into my savings account and I am ready to focus on things here as I prepare for life as a homeschool mom! Who would have thought 2020 would be such a whacky year?! The cyber school is working out great for my son, who broke his femur a month ago! Yes, been dealing with a full schedule and all of this on top of it. I got this! It’s almost over.

I have just picked up some fun items at my wholesaler and am pricing them and will be adding to my retail space at Fleetwood Antique Mall later today. Will also list them on my website for those of you who need shipping. Here’s a preview!

I grabbed some super textiles, a Bunch Of cool retro coaster sets and even a singLe set of mud cloth placemats.

Update on my current restoration! I should be picking this up complete later in the week, but I got a sneak peak of my latest piece in restoration! What I know: this adorable chair was found a few blocks from where I grew up. It is small in size but super sexy. It’s original fabric was great but had seen better days and the foam in the seat needed replaced. I do not know who the maker is of the chair, but I do know it is going to look and feel fantastic in the new threads I picked! Como Velvet from designer Michelle Nussbaumer for Clarence House textiles is very expensive, but I got a connection and scored this tomato red for only $30/yard. It probably retails for closer to $200/yard in the real world! This is heavy duty and gorgeous, the two things you need when investing into a project you want to outlive you. I love this orangey red which will make a super accent piece and it will have all the right details! As you will see, it is getting the royal treatment with all internals rebuilt as needed for a comfy structure. It will be photographed and listed as soon as I get it in my grubby hands!

I love how this velvet shimmers in the light, bouncing between red and orange hues. It will be an awesome warm accent peRfect for an eClectic or period room. Mid century style updated with modern threads and ready for another life!

Stay tuned for final pics! If you are in the market for a new upholstered chair, please consider either chair I have ready to go! They are beauties!

Stop by my retail space soon as I am stocking with great gifts and fall camping items. The antique mall will be hosting a crafting event on Sept 5th with vendors and food.

New stuff!

Lots of things finding homes right now! It’s awesome but I am definitely running ragged! Spent today picking up some great Lane pieces. The dining room is Rhythm and includes table with 2 leaves and custom table pads, 4 side chairs plus 2 captains chairs and a gorgeous credenza with reversible panel inserts- cane on one side and wood on the other. I am partial to the cane, of course! I will be refurbishing the chairs but not until things slow down a bit. Meanwhile expect things to trickle into my shops. Here’s a preview!

Lane Perception long coffee table….some blemishes.

Lane Perception square end table pair. On hold!

Lane Rhythm dining table, 2 leaves and custom taBle pads. On hold!

Lane Rhythm credenza with center drawers and side cabinets. Left side has small drawer inside too! Lots of storage and in wonderful vintage condition!

Lane rhytHm dining chairs set of 6, 2 are arm chairs. Seats will be replaced soon. Stay tuned.

Super large set of taylorstone cathay! This lattern is amazing and atomic in a Very relative modern colorway.

In other news….coming soon!

I was very fortunate to connect with a rep for Clarence House Textiles, a purveyor of high end designer fabrics. She offered me some fabulous items for well under wholesale. I decided to jump in and redo this awesome chair and selected this tomato red velvet. If you check their website, it is called Como, a collection by Michelle Nussbaumer. It is a cotton velvet in an orange red and it will make an awesome accent in a dynamic space. I expect the chair to be finished in about 3 weeks. If you are considering adding a new piece to your home, please consider adding this chair or one of my other fabulous restored pieces to your home.

Clarence House textiles does not import from china. They are a top notch company with a stuNning selection. I am thrilled to be able to access some overruns at discounted pricing. Looking forwarded to more fun restorations making old things new and beautiful again.

Thanks for your support! I am totally going nuts right now obtaining shipping quotes and working with clients. I have about 2 months, maybe 3 until I am turned loose again and can do my own thing. In the meantime, I am working as much as I can!
