will you varnish the inside panels, boards etc as well?

a job very well done and a piece of material history now stays with the world today

would probably make a perfect little coin sorting bureau

Will leave the inside as original because it hasn't seen much wear and tear compared to a lot of unrestored pieces aged 90 years or more and the right hand side was never varnished so will leave as is.Yes Robbie it would make a nice coin sorting bureau but the Mrs has already claimed it and loaded it up with glassware on one side so it didn't take long to work out what to do with it

Looks good mate! I think old restored furniture is so much better than new IKEA type crap

Some of that cheerful, pink or green 'depression' glassware would set it off nicely.

Yeah some of that Jeff and some other odds and ends

WOW I think I'm having flashbacks :blink: Very nice on all accounts Stevo :good:

The only things that make it look modern are the tiles

The only 'depression' glass is an empty one. :angel:

robbiegal · August 03, 2015, 08:12:03 PM

so is this an old booze cabinet?

the fold down panel being the pouring/mixing plate?

looks great with the glassware
