Me again.. Finished these before I left the shop today.. So grabbed some photos and measurements so I could show them to you all.. I love these.. They were stained and unloved when I got my hands on themand I was worried they wouldn't sand back and I would have to paint the tops but they sanded back fine and look awesome.. They just needed sealing so they are durable.. The legs have been painted in Hessian chalkpaint which is a neutral creamy beige colour and again sealed to protect them.. These are solid and heavy and of high quality the largest table is 20.5 inches x 14 inches and 19 inches tall, middle is 15.5 x 12 and 15.5 inches tall and the smallest 10 x 10 inches and 12 inches tall.
£50 for the set of 3!

Good Afternoon everyone.. Sorry not been around much last week, went to Brighton for a few days and been busy catching up with jobs over the weekend.. Busy week of commissions again this week but hope to do a few pieces for the shop too.. First up is this strong vintage chair I have been working on the last couple of days inbetween customers.. Saved this beaut from going to landfill.. Good clean and sand up.. Few coats of paint and varnish and new piece of fabric on the seat and it looks loved and awesome again.. Some lovely detailing on this old fab chair £40

Another job all finished - dining table and 4 carver chairs.. Ideal for a smaller dining room or kitchen.. The 4 carver chairs fit under the table for easy storage and are really strong and comfortable.. The table just needed a wax and buff and in fab condition as it is.. The chairs have been painted in cocoa coloured chalkpaint, distressed and sealed with clear matt varnish, the pads have been reupholstered in a more modern fabric.. I sell these chairs individually at £35 each usually so this set of 4 and the solid wood table for £150 is a bargain price 😊 the table is 120 cm x 80cm and 76cm tall
