Okay, ugly image, but a very purty product. A 1950's [?] high chair that has a stepping ladder that folds out. Two small tears on the seat. Otherwise, this is an oldie and goodie. Steel construction with patent vinyl upholstery. Orange! Which was popular back then and now too... Yay! $20

That's right. If we get a good deal, we pass on a good deal. We charge for labor, not for new materials. As of today, this chair has not needed much work, except for pick-up and delivery costs...

This pre-owned chair is actually more ivory than white, and it needs a little cleaning. Otherwise, it is in great shape. $35 as is.

If we add labor time to clean, the price of the item increases.

Most likely a 1910 Holmes trunk. It was pretty beat up and unwanted. So we painted the damaged surface a fire orange. The interior is in excellent condition and untouched. We also did not touch the metal framing/details or hardware. Great as a coffee table or a toy trunk or fancy storage unit. Originally $150. Now available for $75.

Solid wood, except backing, which is press wood. Vintage. Original glass knobs. Stands 28" high. 15.5" wide. Painted by Laura Pohjola. $45

1920's copper and chrome ashtray is in excellent condition. $95

This Spring-Summer... We will offer refabbed plastic chairs.

A super easy solution to reduce plastic from landfill - paint it! Make your old ones look new. I actually used gloss latex paint for the first coat, then matching spray paint to cover any oopsies.

If your chair is weathered (rough surface), then you will not need to prime it. Results are usually better on chairs damaged by too much sun exposure. Funny how that works.

This cabinet is not an antique. It is a replica of old steel cabinets. Welded steel with glass doors and one glass shelf. It has a concrete top. Heavy as heck, so be prepared to work hard to get it into the car if you decide to buy this. Of course, we will help you load. Gorgeous piece of furniture. $425

The damaged surface was restored and updated with reclaimed latex paint in gray with light yellow details. The two night stands can be combined to create a children's dresser. Sturdy. No crawling space underneath or wheels, making it perfect for a child's room.. $35 each.

A little scuffed up, but that is a part of its charm. 100% functional. Draewrs are lined. A very charming piece. Dove tail drawer construction. Solid wood. Original hardware. As is for $195.

In a week we will restain to remove the minor surface flaws, so the price will naturally increase.

This children's chair was damaged by a creative child using a ball point pen to draw on the wood surface. We rescued this little chair and patched the scratches using a few layers of paint. Steel legs. $18

This lamp was refabbed from brown to red, then we added a pre-owned matching red lamp shade. $18

A chrome-framed sofa from Lloyd Manufacturing (1938-1940 under Heywood Wakefield) with new, refabbed cushions in micro-suede red and purple vinyl piping over original spring core cushions and new foam. We used scrap fabric to upholster most of our furniture. Both red micro-suede and trimming were scraps.

The chrome framing is in good condition. 975- (currently 30% off listed price)

This heavy-weight antique Lane table was made in Virginia, USA. Press wood with beautiful wooden veneer in a rich brown color. A few slight scratches, that you can easily fix yourself. As is $175

If Fernseed restores the surface, the retail price increases based on labor cost and restoration materials.

A beat-up wicker basket gets a repaint job to match other gray items in our store. Large enough to be used a large office waste basket or a small laundry unit. Refabbed locally using new paint. 18-

A beat-up, solid wood table can become beautiful again with a fresh coat of paint. We coated this one with light blue/gray latex paint and a water-based polyurethane top coat. The table works as a small dining table that can seat four or a medium-sized desk. Hand-painted locally with reclaimed latex. $35 (currently 30% off)

This was a rescued vintage loveseat, cute as can be, but the fabric was worn-n-torn. We reupholstered the love seat with scrap upholstery fabric. Petit and low, this sofa will work well in small spaces or a children's area. The bent aluminum base is the original and untouched. $475

A white storage unit gets a refab treatment with scrap wallpaper and some dark grey paint. Shelves are adjustable. Reproduction process at Fernseed by the very talented artisan staff. 85- (currently on sale at 30% off list price)

An ottoman with black legs received pastel stripes to modernize for any decor. Original wooden structures. We used scrap fabric and a local upholster to keep the cost to a minimal. $145
