I once restored this beautiful Victorian chair that was so elegant, it could’ve made the honor roll. But after it got a few nicks and scratches from misuse, it started ‘acting out’ like a rebellious teen. I joked with a friend that it got kicked out for not sitting still. Have any of you had furniture with a personality that made you chuckle during a restoration?
I can totally relate! I once had a coffee table that seemed to have a flair for drama — every time I moved it, it would threaten to ‘sue’ for emotional distress over being refinished. Have you ever thought about giving your rebellious furniture a little more attention instead of just restoration?
I once had a sofa that would creak like it was telling secrets whenever someone sat down; it felt like it had a whole personality! Have you ever thought about giving your furniture a playful name? @jthompson72, what would you call that rebellious chair?
