These are amazing. I have been in the mood to find and refurbish some furniture lately, and these lovely pictures have me feeling inspired. I love the lace table, and the miss anne chair.
I am ready to finish a blond 60's modern desk from Craig's list. Great inspiration. Considering mosaic or decoupage paper desk top, topped with glass. I love the phrase "reviving dead furniture". That really says it. Especially when pieces are found in the trash.
