How to Choose vintage furniture

📝Decor Style: Whatever works, I collect feelings :

🛋️Style Details: Blending styles, colors and textures

Brand: anything unrecognizable and ooak and unique

I’m always collecting furniture, unique pieces that are colorful, one of a kind and have a history.

These vintage farmhouse Hungarian hutches have a little work ahead of them but I love it

A lot of people think that in order to paint furniture you have to completely sand off the old finish. Fortunately, that’s not the case! All you need to do is rough up the surface enough for your paint to stick to it. Go over the whole piece with 120 grit sandpaper and you will be good to go!
