Refinishing old furniture is my second favourite hobby (let’s be honest, my first love is and ever will be dodgeball). I have a DIY design show in development, so I thought I’d include photos of a few of my pieces:

My company is called Antidote Furniture: one of a kind pieces, the antidote to boring, mass-produced furniture.

I love the thrill of the hunt- choosing roughed-up old pieces with good bones.

I love peering at them for a couple days, visualizing how to make them sing.

I love researching new finishing techniques and products.

I love tolerate all the sanding, painting, vapours, and mess of refinishing.

I love seeing the final product come together.
