It tells a story


Each piece has its origins and history, a story waiting to be discovered and told. With each piece, a vision of the person making similar products in times gone by. We envision the craftsmen and the tools involved in the bending and sculpting of that piece of wood and the knives used to shape that piece of timber. We smell and hear the noise of the tools and the sawdust. We think about how man perfected the art of carpentry over the ages, about the different steps involved in the making, so as to be able to take the piece from raw material to that work of art. We try and make the pieces look like what they could be by adding to it with paints and or other elements without taking away from its actual beauty.

 

So, what does refurbishing of furniture mean?


Refurbishing is A LOT more than just repair and very different from a restoration. It can mean anything from refinishing, reupholstering, staining or repainting, maybe a total overhaul. A lot of times details which may seem to be outdated or excessive are altered or deleted and some new details may be added.

Refurbishing when done professionally takes time and effort, so the question arises why do it?

There is a simple answer for this, life is but a cycle and we are fast coming to the realization that we should try and work to conserve natural resources, which are limited and are fast getting depleted. We honor natures resources and raw materials, and the many people who had gone into making this piece.

 

Our Motivation


If simply by repairing, cleaning, changing the colour of the furniture, we can make it relevant to your home. Cultural trends and needs change, but it goes along way in proving that the inherent value of the original piece. And just like my great grand daddy who was old but was never discarded it says a lot towards refurbishing a piece to keep it in the family.

It retains the energy and materials used to build it –

There was a lot of energy that went into the making of the piece a lot of thought, a lot of craftsmanship and imagination because they would not have had access to the tools and machinary that we do today. All of this embodied energy is saved when one chooses to refurbish furniture.

Durability – Most often vintage pieces are built to last with raw material that are of a more durable nature, and this allows them to survive the wear and tear of time.

 

It's uniqueness


Most people simply don’t have the time skills or space to build their own Home furniture. Most often, a discerning buyer seek a one-of-a-kind item instead of bulk produced pieces of furniture that can be found at every store.

It adds beauty – Beauty is timeless and old furniture shows it. “Antique or vintage” is hard to replicate when creating new pieces of furniture. With refurbished furniture, dry or and cracked finishes gloriously come back to life with a lot of love patience and creativity.

Helps create local employment – House owners that purchase refurbished furniture help support local local labour.


And Lastly We help in bringing into your life that classic piece of furniture which will become a conversation piece and will help you to contribute your bit towards the preservation of the environment, unfortunately we can only refurbish so many pieces as this is slow and meticulously planned tedious process.
