Hmm, very tempted to renovate these free Hans Wegner style Mid-Century Modern chairs (Craigslist) -- if I had access to my workshop. Though, no need for dining chairs. Pricey if in good condition. Dining chairs tend to be easy to reupholster, too.. #refurbish#recycle#furniture
Project for next week, hopefully. Two more (free) sling style chairs for re-slinging. Easy enough to re-do these. They will, however, be a different color, as it is past summer fabric season and I'm just buying the cheapest I can find. #patio#furniture#diy#refurb#project
I feel like Frodo at the end... "It is done" This has been so many hours of sanding, painting, painting again, cleaning. All the pieces are finally finished
Quick #weekend#project. Took this coffee #table--which was inside holding up a couple of fish tanks, and sanded the top down and put two coats of #Teak#oil on, so we can use this outdoors as #patio#furniture. Probably should have done the teak oil treatment before we used it for the fish tank, lots of water damage. Originally snagged for free off a curb freebie.
Restorers were going to toss out this table (preexisting damage from putting boiling hot canned tomatoes on it), so I decided to restore it since we'd like to keep it. Flipped the top over (other side is all water stains and rings). Sanded, filled holes, and treated with boiled linseed oil. #furniture#restoration
Back to the coffee... and it's another day, so that means we have another new article on CoffeeGeek! This one was written a while back, but we paused publication of it for the new site build we launched March 4.
It's the many, many uses of coffee, beyond just drinking it!
Okay #Denver area folks, the time is nigh! I am leaving town SOOON so it's time to come get some cheap furniture and housewares, if ya need them. Selling off the whole damn household cheap as chips, so come by to buy something, or even just put your name down for free stuff after everything that sells is sold (Mastodon folks will move to the top of the free list, so mention it if you come by).
After a trying couple of weeks, I completed a personal project today. Posting as therapy.
It's an #electronics#workbench, replacing a crappy folding plastic table I'd been using. Surface is #birch#plywood, with #cherry#hardwood for edging and a back lip so I can't push stuff off the back by accident. The shelves/racks for equipment are made of the same plywood and cherry.
Computer on arm for reference materials, and swings out of the way.
I know it’s not #caturday but Zowie decided that I didn’t do it well enough and besides, she was sitting on her throne.
If anyone knows what specific kind of chair this is, I’d love to know. My #mom loved furniture in this style and my parents had several pieces. We got this one.
The indoor coffee table I moved outside and coated with #teak#oil a few months ago did phenomenal in the tropical storm #rain. Gave it another coat just for good measure and extra waterproofing. Solid wood + oil works perfectly fine. (Yes, another Craigslist special) #furniture
Last week I helped a neighbor remove a massive desk and credenza from his mother's house. I'm hoping to repurpose some parts and recover some wood to make into new projects.
The pieces were custom-built by two different cabinetmakers in the early 1990's. If nothing else, it is very interesting to see, from an amateur hobbyist's perspective, the decisions and techniques that go into making pieces like this.
Ich bin auf der Suche nach einem Möbelscharnier bzw. ein Teil davon. Es gehört zu einer Tür eines Sideboards von Dieter Rams/Vitseo aus der RZ57-Serie. Leider ist es abgebrochen und daher bin ich auf der Suche nach z.B. einen Shop für solche Originalteile. Kennt jemand der jemanden kennt der …
Fairscope do many other great things, but I LOVED the “Chairigami” furniture they were using on their stand here at the Ocean Sciences meeting. It was robust and comfortable and easy to flat pack. More of this!
Today's coffee break project. Staining some found (curb) furniture. Stain is leftover from the disaster remodel here, so this now matches our bathroom cabinets, LOL. #diy#project#furniture
This is a long shot but thinking someone might recognize it. We have this weird chair at our church in Nevada. It's carved with wolves and griffins, has a double headed eagle on the upholstery, and has this royal monogram which is possibly AJ. Did an image search but nothing matched. Any help? Please boost. #Monogram#monogrammistjg#geschichte#Monographienbearbeitung#Möbel#history#furniture
