Sassafrassity

Holy cow, what do I even say about Sassafrassity and Sheressa? From start to finish this entire project has been smooth as butter and the results are beyond amazing. Sheressa is a fun person to talk to and more importantly she really knows her stuff from brands and manufacturers to all kinds of different techniques and ideas to bring things back to life.

I put in her hands an old hope chest from my deceased mother that I have been carrying around with me forever. It's very special to me however it was in very rough shape. The before photo doesn't do justice to show just how much wear and damage there was. One leg was completely missing and there were a few deep cuts in the wood along with countless scratches and overall wear marks. It just looked old and tired.

I don't know anything about vintage furniture so I basically said use your judgement and try to make it look like it just came off the factory floor. As you can see in the after photo she did just that. It's FLAWLESS there is not one thing wrong with it and it's beautiful and even now I still can't stop looking at when i'm near. They even rebuilt the missing leg to the point where you 90+% can't tell it's a replacement and you can only tell if you saw what it looked like before and know which leg it was. I'm sure my mom would be very happy with this.

I had her pick up and deliver this item as well and she took care on both visits to be careful with my heirloom. Very reasonable pricing as well although I won't quote it because i'm sure it's location based and I don't want to give implied pricing for someone way out there.

Seriously thank you so so much for everything and if I decide to make my other vintage furniture items look awesome I won't hesitate to call. I still have some imported 1940's German furniture from my grandfather however those are still "working" furniture items cause of children using them. Just wait till they're older though and you'll probably have 2 more pieces coming.

In closing to whoever reads this, please give this woman some business she takes pride in her work and in the age of retail apocalypse this is the kind of person and business we want to stick around and service customers.

Took in an old piece of my Grandmother's and they were able to completely transform it into something you would see today. They stained, changed the hardware, changed out the top molding and adjusted other molding to make it look more up to date. Turned out better then I could have imagined!! I love that I could take an old family piece and make it work in my home today!! Highly recommend them.

Love the refinished chair I got here!
