The first step was to reach out to some professionals. \u00a0How do I know that the East End Salvage team are the professionals? \u00a0Because we are so blessed to have an incredible antique, 19th century chemist cabinet, in our home!<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

This antique, salvaged from Northern Wales, was a wonderful purchase from East End Salvage<\/strong><\/span>.<\/a>\u00a0 It is exactly what we were looking for and their team made it all happen!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have been working on redoing and upgrading our playroom to better suit our kids’ growing ages. \u00a0When I started the hunt for a cabinet that would serve as storage and as a media console, I quickly discovered that the dimensions I needed were going to be tricky!<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Always looking to support small businesses, I reached out to East End Salvage.<\/a>\u00a0 They are always hunting for such incredibly unique vintage and antique pieces.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Kaci, one of the owners, quickly and graciously responded that they did have a piece with my dimensions, but it needed some love. \u00a0We discussed the overall look we wanted for our home and Kaci’s team quickly got to work to perfectly refinish this antique furniture piece.<\/p>\n

To give the history of this antique piece, as well as how the East End Salvage<\/a><\/strong><\/span> team refinished and restored it, I’m going to turn this blog post over to our guest host, Kaci!<\/p>\n

Here are all the details, in her words! \u00a0(Don’t you love getting the facts from the expert?! \u00a0I do!)<\/p>\n

Refinish antique furniture…and get a history lesson!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”history of the piece 1″ _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The antique cabinet was salvaged in Northern Wales,<\/strong> in the Snowdonia National Park region\u00a0 from a local chemist in the small town of Blaenau, Ffestiniog.\u00a0 In the UK, a chemist is a shop where you can buy medicine, cosmetics, and some household items (the US equivalent of a pharmacy<\/strong>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”history of the piece 2″ _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Although the piece was hand built using top quality materials and craftsmanship, the outdated finish needed a refresh! Originally stained (in the late 19th century) a deep mahogany shade of red<\/strong> with a painted black baseboard and a heavy shellacked glossy finish, it was no longer attractive or stylish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Process header” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Best Process to Refinish Antique Furniture<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Power Wash & Strip<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”original finish” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The deep red stain had been touched up and waxed many times over the years, so stripping the layers off to reveal the natural wood beneath was a challenge!\u00a0 One of our restoration members, Megan, stripped and power washed the piece six times before we finally saw the graining of old pine wood \u2026 as well as a pleasant surprise \u2026 the cabinet door panels were made of gorgeous walnut!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once stripped and the wood was given time to dry, we applied a wood bleach and left it in the Texas sun for a few days to work its magic, fading any discoloration and reddish stain left behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Sanding<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After bleaching, the cabinet was sanded, conditioned using a sanding sealer, and then sanded again.\u00a0 Once smooth to the touch, we applied a low sheen water based topcoat.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

.\u00a0 Although the piece had found a new life and was already looking beautiful, I felt it needed some \u201ccharacter\u201d . . . besides I didn’t want it to look like a new piece of furniture!\u00a0 It is nearly 150 years old!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Finishing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I left the longleaf pine boards on the top natural and sealed, to tell it\u2019s story, and decided to only re-finish the cabinet portion of the piece.\u00a0 Robert applied one of our favorite aging finishes using a water based glazing effect in a dark espresso brown color, called Java.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=m_nxyKbXvws” admin_label=”Process 6 – Video” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text admin_label=”Process 6TExt” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The glaze sat in all of the crevices, nicks, and cracks of the old wood and highlighted it\u2019s time worn markings. This antique cabinet was now ready to add old world charm to a modern home.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Why Antiques?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Why antiques Text” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Antiques are one-of-a-kind. Their style, charm, and craftsmanship cannot be reproduced. Once gone, the history attached to them is forever lost.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/After-12-scaled.jpg” title_text=”After 12″ admin_label=”pic of finished product” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Why antiques Text” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

By modernizing the finish and making repairs on this antique chemist cabinet, we\u2019re preserving its story<\/strong>, which is truly our collective history, and ensuring that it continues on for at least another century or two.<\/p>\n

Didn’t Kaci do an amazing job of explaining the process to refinish antique furniture? \u00a0I wish all of you could stop by and see how pretty it is in person. \u00a0It couldn’t possibly fit our space and needs any better so both the function and gorgeous style make this perfect for our home!<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”how we are using this piece” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

As I mentioned before, finding a vintage or antique piece that was low enough for a media console was a fun challenge.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”how we are using this piece” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

While a true apothecary cabinet wasn’t the main priority, it makes my apothecary-collecting heart happy. \u00a0I love pieces that help the different rooms of our home flow together, from the play\/game room to the dining and music rooms!<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”how we are using this piece” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

This antique piece, refinished by East End Salvage, could be used in almost any room so it has versatility for many, many years to come. \u00a0We love investing in pieces that we know can serve our home in different ways!<\/p>\n

For now, though, it is the perfect media console and also provides storage for thousands of pages of music! \u00a0(I know, not typical, but it’s a real need for our family!)<\/p>\n
