Little did I know at the time that these "projects" would take years to complete. I refinished the chairs and sold them at an antiques show right away and the buffet was scrubbed down and has been used in my former dining room and now serves as our television cabinet in the new house, but this cabinet has remained in the last three garages of our former residences...
Maybe it was all the grime, and the fact that one of the bun feet was obliterated, that held me back from getting it all fixed up again. It was just too much time to get it where it needed to be and furniture for antique shows and shops took precedence, not furniture for my home. Now that I'm setting up house and this is the last piece of furniture to finish off the formal dining room, I decided not to wait any longer. Time to attack the grime...
I finally got to haul it into my dining room today and dress it all up (that's my favorite part).
At last, the dining room is complete!
More of the dining room to come...

That is one incredible piece. It was meant to be left in it's original state, because it is beautiful. It is just a unique piece, you were lucky when you found this one. I also like the beautiful vignette you created above. I have a large twig ball like yours, and now I will be using it. thanks for your inspiration. Thanks for sharing at Sunday's Best.
That is a really gorgeous piece, and it's perfect just as it is. I love your dining room!
Wow!! Isn't it great that someone out there creates furniture that beautiful...and you found it! Admittedly, a little jealous. But gosh...that is stunning! I am so glad you didn't attempt to fix it up. It deserves to live as is!
