Restored Wardrobe

hackytza · **Posted: 30-07-2009 , 04:12 PM** #1

I got this wardrobe from dublinwaste.ie about a year ago. I only finished it recently. It's not spectacular - but a lot of work went into it - as it was very old and scratches were very deep.

Sometimes I think 'Spectacular' is misused, this is a beautiful, timeless, classic piece that will still beautiful for many years to come. This is a poster piece to show those who think freecycling is a bit hippy.

the picture with the door open reminds me of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, it wouldnt look at all out of place in a stately home

Thanks all !!! I am really pleased with it.
I have used 2 coats of antique pine stain and 2 coats of clear varnish.

Well done a beautiful piece of furniture to treasure.
