i was just kidding. I have an old walnut dresser that yrs ago was in a flood and the doors came off it. a relative painted it white. I took it and asked a man to strip it and he asked me not to repaint it because it was solid walnut and he thought too pretty so my ex made some plain doors to cover the drawers that have cut outs (you can see into the drawers if doors are open) and i tole painted them. It has a neat shape and i know it's not an antique but i do believe it's old.
also have some passed down heywood wakeman furniture that was so mistreated it breaks my heart and i'm slowly refinishing it and it's not something i'm very knowledgable about.
also have a dining set totally old but (was husbands grandmothers) legs are cracked and chairs are slowly being stripped and have many spindles that will be hard to strip. Reminds me of hancock shape but there's no mark and they have been put through heck. I cannot just throw these away. If i have to store them on the porch and wait til spring i somehow will try my best to restore them. We could use the furniture. The dining suit only has three chairs and i need a chair that i can add to the other's even if it's just an old one that looks even remotely like these. I can't afford something expensive.
i have my hands full and winter is coming and i don't have a garage. more to come after i've dealt with this. i'll take pics of before and after. so they do look bad but are still pretty sturdy.
one thing at a time...............
that's why i said i hope you don't get tired of me.
