Beauty Furniture

What’s your favorite yard sale or antique store find and how were you able to restore this item?

While everyone can appreciate the beauty of antique furniture and family heirlooms, these hidden treasures are often left abandoned until someone stumbles upon them in their garage or attic. What are some quick and easy tips for revitalizing the look and feel of these items?

21 years ago I bought a child’s roll top desk at a yard sale, the seller said her husband used it as a child at that time he was 35 so the desk has to be at least 50+or- years old. It now sits in the home office. Purchase price $3. I did a gentle sand and gave it a clear coat, left all of the carved holes and ink spots on it replaced the canvas in the roll top with new untreated canvas. It wasn’t bought as an antique it was bought to use by my youngest granddaughter. Not much longer and it will be a true antique.

I also am the proud owner of a music satchel with original written sheet music the library of congress certificates all of the memorabilia of a marching band composer who wrote one of the songs for the Barnum and Baily Circus that was played for many years. That includes that particular piece of original written sheet music before it was published.
Have done nothing to restore it. I keep it in acid free folders and the satchel in acid free container.
