I found this beauty at a garage sale for $40. It had nice lines but nothing too note worthy. I took care of that! Here are the before and afters on our lovely red piano. I am worried about my refinishing skills, it looks gorgeous . . I just hope it wears well. It came with a bench that I have yet to do.

bedroom set




Tis the season to be jolly . . . and broke. There have been few garage sales this month and nothing worth buying. This sent me shopping on craigslist for goodies. I found this set for $175 and sold it for $300 - way less than usual, but most people have already blown their Christmas $, so I'm taking it and running!

Sofa table



This piece of heaven went for much less than expected. Shucks! Bought for $25, sold for $60.

A keeper!!!





I found this piano for $40. That's right, forty bones jones! They had refinished just the piano at some point- not very well I might add. The piano finish is different than the bench finish. I am going to strip this sucker and try to make it shine. There are lots of dings and chips so I am hopeful the wood filler won't be too obvious or I will have to change directions and paint it. Wish me luck! I can't wait for my babies to learn piano from their grandma!

Antique Hutch


I got this gorgeous hutch that someone had started to refinish and then stopped for $20. I was thinking I would put the work in and sell it for a heap, but I've got a bunch of school work to do so I posted it for $80 as is and had a bunch of interest. Sold for $80- kind of sad I didn't have the time. It is a magical piece!
