Over the years, furniture can break down in various ways, including the discoloration of wood, broken legs/joints, loose parts or even fire and water damage. Once you notice the damaged furniture it is best to immediately fix the issue, rather than letting it worsen over time.
As a new year begins this is the time where people start saying "new year, new me". Instead, why not new furniture? This is the time to make your plan for the year, finally redesign your kitchen, fix your old antique furniture, or fix/refinish/restore all of your aging furniture.
As time goes on furniture starts to break down through usage, accidents, and damage from water, sun, and more. By making your old furniture new again it can breathe life into a space that has become an eyesore.
"I found a great piece of furniture, but the color doesn't match my home." Have you said this after finding the perfect piece of furniture?

But what do you do when you've found the exact thing you have been looking for, but it's the wrong color?

When I am asked this question I nearly always hesitate. Often, the answer is not so clear cut. Lets start with the obvious. You have a dining room table that cost $2500.00 new, is mahogany veneer on a solid substrate, and the finish is worn out. You also happen to like the table and it fits your living room and matches your server. This table is clearly worth refinishing. We can give you a new finish, color match it to the rest of the furniture, and the finish will be twice as durable as what you had before.
