Wait Till You See These Old Things That Got A Totally Awesome Makeover!

Before: A sad, paint-covered front door that even lost its mail slot charm.
After: Stripped, fixed, and stained to perfection. World of Wood nailed it - plus they polished up the trolley bell for bonus points!

Spotted some fancy birds hiding under grime (they’re Great Blue Herons, apparently). Cleaned, replastered, and painted using old-school techniques to keep things authentic. Not a pro, but gave it a solid shot, and it looks awesome!

We’re all about teamwork: I handle wood, she’s upholstery queen. Kroehler furniture is crazy tough - white oak frames that beat walnut any day! If vintage sofas are your vibe, Kroehler is the real MVP.

Restored using electrolysis and a sprinkle of electroplating. Now they’re shiny and not painty!

Counted five paint layers on these original door plates. Starting the stripping adventure soon - house still smells like citristrip heaven!

It didn’t turn out flawless, but hey, it’s not bright blue anymore. Progress counts!

Snagged this $360 table, trimmed it from 10ft to 8ft, and spent a week sanding and refinishing. Got some chairs for $100, cleaned ‘em up, and boom - a killer set for $660 total.

Snagged for $50 and spent a month bringing it back. Calibrated it like a pro and now it’s razor sharp for crosscuts. Dangerous but oh so satisfying!

My mom bought this when she landed her first apartment. As a kid, I dreamed I was tiny inside. Found it in her basement, cleaned it up, added some new touches, and now it hangs proudly in my kitchen.

Picked up a Paoli rocker that needed new upholstery, fixing, and a serious frame clean-up. Here’s the stunning transformation you’ve been waiting for.

My mother-in-law handed this old bird feeder to me, knowing I’d turn it into a beauty. Gave it some paint TLC and it’s now the hottest hangout for local birds. Before pics? Swipe and see the glow-up!

Chairs survived a house fire and came to me for a walnut stain glow-up. Happy to report they’re now sitting pretty next to the rest of the furniture!

Found this beast and decided to give it a whirl. Not perfect, but done and looking way better. The drawer insets used to hold fancy hardware and some tricky stickers - removing those was a pain, but now it’s on its way to looking original again.

Grabbed this huge thing on the marketplace, built a wooden frame to lighten it, and filled it with favorite candies and hand-crafted dino keychains (my obsession!). Friends helped out with signs, and it was a hit - cleaned out by the end of the party!

Sand, oil, and reupholster magic on this 1960 chair from H. Krug. So comfy now, even if the original label got tossed along the way.

Australian Blackwood dresser was warped and marked. Mirror was broken into four pieces! After stripping, sanding, and refinishing, it’s shining with natural beauty again.

No maker’s mark, no date, but definitely vintage or maybe even antique. Restored and looking way better than expected.

This relic from the ’60s finally got cleaned and restored. Now it’s my favorite thing in the house. Imagine the chats held on this beauty decades ago!

This 1920s Hanson Scale was a beast to fix: sandblasting, rust removing, reprinting the face, and a lot of assembly. But now it’s back and rocking that original 100-year-old blue paint.

Stripped, stained, sealed, and added a red tortoise shell pickguard to match the headstock. First time doing something like this, and I’m loving the new vibe.

Used peroxide, UV light, and elbow grease to whiten the plastic and clean every nook and cranny. Even removed stubborn stickers, and it looks like a blast from the past with a fresh new face!
