  • In this video, you'll see two teak furniture pieces restored. One is a teak desk that is comprised of particle board with teak veneer and solid teak. The chair is solid teak with the exception of the cushion areas. For the sake of staging things together and efficiency in flipping multiple pieces of furniture at once I chose to restore both the desk and chair together.
    Update: The desk sold for $1,000! Crazy!

    Yassssssss. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’m jealous of whoever got this gorgeous desk!

      I am still shocked I found it in the thrift store with both keys. 😳

    My parents had furniture like these pieces. They called them "Danish Modern". Chairs were so comfortable for short people!

    Emily, That teak desk is a real gem. You did well to polish it up and put it in a new setting. It will surely be admired again for many more years.

    I love the floating desk! It's not something you see everyday and it's not as bulky as many desks. You made it beautiful again!!! The chair is really nice as well, I'm glad that you showed the fabric up close, it looks like it will go with many decor types. Nice work on the arms!!! 😍❤❤

    Very much enjoy your narration and voice. It is sweet and humble and you do a great job at explaining. I would love to see close-up of the "bad" finish as it gives me a better sense of where you are starting.

    From my research from Trena from John's Furniture Repair & from Trasend, you never use asiliac acid on one spot, also always use high glue in joints on chairs, so it can easily be removed with vinegar injected in joints for future repair. Thank you for saving these beautiful pieces of furniture!!

    You are wise to hand sand. I love that 3M paper too. Oxalis acid can be so helpful and this is the rare time I agree with a spot treatment. I always appreciate your approach to refreshing pieces

    Gorgeous pieces! The desk especially. Funny that you mention IKEA. Markaryd is a place in Småland, Sweden very close to where Ingvar Kamprad started IKEA. These types of 60s chairs are common in thrift shops here in Sweden. We had several when I grew up.

    What a fabulous couple of finds! You did a lovely job of restoring both the desk and the chair. You did a great job of repairing and concealing that one water-damaged little spot. I am going to guess that fabric is original to the chair. Even if it isn’t, the nubby tweady fabric was often used instead of black leather. I hope the chair finds a home where its beauty is appreciated. Thank you for the poem and thoughtful intro.🌸

    • @ReconstructingEmily

      I loved the fabric on the chair! It looks neutral from far away, but when you look up close it has all those pops of color. Kind of like looking at an old tv too close 😅. Thank you Deborah! ❤️

    How do you like that lacquer? I've never used that brand.

    • @ReconstructingEmily
      @ReconstructingEmily  Год назад +1

      Honestly I didn't care for it. With Deft I didn't have to sand / buff the lacquer. This one seemed to require it more and the spray nozzle was not so great.
