CHANGING IT UP

I have this oak dining table that my husband and I had for about 30 years.  Since his death, I was torn about it as it was the first big piece of furniture we bought for our first home we owned.  It was a dark oat table which had suffered water damage the last 2 years of his life. I did not like how dark it was.
It was very dark compared to my new chairs, as you can see.  I found Stephanie who redid the top.

What an amazing difference!  She made me happy!  Now the table can be around for a few more years!  And it looks so much better with the chairs!
You can see some of her work here:  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Reclaimed-by-Schultz/1502887263307784?fref=photo
She is very reasonable and is always creating and selling things!
She also redid 2 nightstands I had bought.  I forgot to take BEFORE shots of them, so can only tell you that they were a plain wood with dings and scratches. I asked her to make them white and shedid a light stencil on them, which I love! It is hard to see as my flash washed out the color, but they are done in a pale pink to go with the daybed, which has pink roses on it.

 

So far the dining room and kitchen, the entryway, the guest bedroom, the master, and both bathrooms have had their walls painted. The ceiling in the dining room, kitchen, entry, and living room ceilings were also painted.   EVENTUALLY it all will be done!
