Revival Vintage Studio's - Shop with a "RE" Purpose
This gorgeous scandinavian teak folding table was a MESS! but with some elbow grease and a bit of time, it is now a born again beauty waiting for a home.
We had some amazing burlap coffee bags handy and a few old vintage pieces of furniture. So we took these 2 chairs sanded, painted, and re upholstered them with these colorful java bags. Just right for the coffee lover!
This pic above is the roof of our old garage. We pulled off the boards...alot of work!...salvaged many amazing rustic pieces, and used them to make some tops for the mid century bar cart, and the 2 chrome cubed end tables. They now look amazing!
That's Moxie's Uncle Bruce from This sCrap Works helping out with the make over!
We also used our old garage roof boards to "coolify" our shop desk. this desk was a very solid iron work bench. We used some bolts and mixed up the boards to show a rustic collage of patina. We love this bench!
This 1930's walnut cabinet was just way too dark...we used some Benjamin Moore paint in butternut and moss, to up"" this beauty into a cottage chic, must have, decor and storage cabinet. See below for the before's and final look.
This hand painted-hand lettered sign (by SimonSaysSigns) , above, was also done on some of our old boards we salvaged from the old garage roof.
This 1930's cabinet, before.....and after.
We have some cool vintage fire king dishes on display. Check out that 1930's scale on the bottom right of this cabinet!
