Thrill of the hunt...



My mom has me hooked.  I love checking out the thrift stores now for neglected furniture that needs refinishing or a facelift.  I LOVE doing this.  One of my latest finds is a beautiful dining table... I researched the table and found out from the manufacturer that it is from their "Fontaine" collection which was made between 1964 to 1969.  It is solid Mahogany.  I've sanded the top down and hope to restore it to it's former glory.  I'm so excited!  The pictures show the table before the sanding.  It also has two leaves that can be added to allow seating for up to 12 people!  Dare I say how much I paid... a steal!
