When we moved into this home, the armchair was already here. It was the previous owner’s armchair, and her family had lived in the home since it was built in 1903. The armchair has a long history in this home.

I selected a material mix based on cat claw repellent nailhead trim plus claw-loving natural colored twine. And this time I chose a darker stain for the wood.

We used wood from a Minwax wood staining workshop to make a tray for the holidays.

I transformed this little side table with a fresh stain of pink-and-pink, and I think it’s ready to brighten up a little girl’s bedroom.

Enjoying pretty little plants can be a year-round pleasure with a custom-stained pallet indoor wall garden.

Made with Love: We stained our vintage barrister’s cabinet crimson red. The few vintage pieces of furniture, like this cabinet are the last of hers. And so when I was asked by my friends at Minwax to share a story for their Made With Love. Finished With Minwax. campaign celebrating how the beauty of wood is enhanced when there’s a personal story behind it, I knew that it is now time to update the cabinet, giving it a more modern color.
