From Attic To Awesome

From Attic To Awesome I have finally retired and now get to do the things I love. I found that taking something old and making it beautiful is something I really enjoy doing.

This is the finished product of the previously posted piece of maple. It is 30” wide x70” long with a beautiful waterfall edge and custom design leg by the customer. It took months but thankfully my customer was very patient. Very happy to be finished and even more happy my customer is happy.

New coffee table. Made of poplar wood. Tried a mid century modern leg style. It was what the customer asked for. I think it has an interesting look and I am excited to try more like this.

Here is my current big project. The customer requested a desk table 30 x 70”. He chose this beautiful piece of maple. And the simple live edge table quickly took a drastic turn. He asked for a waterfall leg ( which I can not do ). So we were lucky and the lumber yard could do the work. It has been a journey with size, scheduling contract work and my time. The waterfall leg split and a bow tie had to be added and then replaced. More sanding sanding sanding. Epoxy to fill cracks and more sanding. I am finished with the bottom and the waterfall leg and the finish is on. I hope to flip the table and start on the top. Customer wants a custome leg built. As soon as I finish I will post pics. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

2 new benches. Both were commissioned. The Fulton Crossing Art Gallery has the straight bench and are using it for seating to view their paintings. The garden bench went to a customer who just wanted a second bench. Fun to make.

Excuse my garage. This thing is too heavy to move around just to stage. I found a 1954 Zenith console tv and immediately knew what I wanted to do. Unfortunately I soon realized that I could not repair the existing finish. This piece quickly turned into the project from hell. The years of paint and varnish had to be stripped, sanded, stained and refinished. Shelves, backing and lights were added. But I think it is the perfect bar cart.

My husband brought this home from a tear out. At first I thought it looked like way too much work. But it’s still 2020 so what else do I have to do. I love it. I am using it as my outside sink and potting bench. I painted it with house paint to keep it weather proof. New faucet and towel rack and it is perfect. I’m gonna keep this.

Had a piece of wood in my kitchen for months waiting to find the perfect legs. I think I nailed it. Did not see the tiger stripes in the wood till I put the polyurethane on it.
