Furniture Re-finishing

You know those pieces of furniture in your home, they've been there a while, you wouldn't choose them again, maybe the colour or fixtures really bug you, they looks out-dated or plain ugly?
 
 But sometimes that piece has sentimental value, it's an antique or has belonged to the family for ever, it was a gift and you keep it because you should or it's just damn useful! These large, key pieces of furniture may come in and out of favour with you in the looks department, but they WORK, they are functional and are always pricey to replace! So why not just look at these items a little differently, think about modernising their colour scheme, texture or fittings? I have refinished several pieces in the last few weeks for customers and myself and they now fit into their rooms like a dream.

I just wanted to highlight, how with a little effort and time, those ugly items can be transformed quite easily. More before and afters coming very soon....what have you got to update? ;)
