The 3 R's of Keeping Your Furniture

The three R’s environmentalists extol are reduce, reuse, and recycle. The three R’s we commonly use around here are repair, restore, and refinish. We are big believers in preserving quality furniture and for good reason. Furniture can hold great significance historically and sentimentally. It also makes great economic and environmental sense to make the best of the furniture you already own.

Upon entering our showroom, there is a chair that has been refinished, but only on one side. There is a clear difference between each side and we often hear amazement in the voices of those that take a look.

What seems to be magic is actually a service we provide on a regular basis. We provide hand rubbed finishing, water damage restoration, and antique restoration for both commercial and residential furnishings. We even do custom color matching to transform a motley collection of furniture into a more appealing and cohesive set. David and Terry, our skilled craftsmen, match the finest polishes and cleaners with modern technology to create breathtaking improvements. As always we offer pick up and delivery as well.


Though it often saddens our heart to see broken, damaged, and neglected furniture;



we enjoy taking on all challenges from small touch ups to a full strip and refinish project.



We take so much pleasure in bringing a good piece back to its rightful glory.
