Rocking chair
I got this beautiful piece of furniture from adverts.ie
It was traditionally stained and upholstered and had been left outside. The original stuffing & foam was dank & needed to be replaced. Got a wonderful surprise when I began sanding and found this wonderfully patterned hard wood beneath the dark brown stain. ( a massive job! Logged 24 hours total sanding, was glad when that job was over, but very happy I did it, didn't stop me contemplating painting it half way through. ) Looked and looked for a nice green, fresh colour leather & eventually got this on ebay. So here's the before & after |

Lovely work Cherry
That's fab Cherry - very well done. You've done a great job. That wood looks tricky to sand ;-)

You did an amazing job and I can just imagine all the elbow grease.
Be very proud of yourself, it's lovely to see up cycled stuff. So take a bow. Moira |
