DINING ROOM SET

"Dear Val and Rus,  What a wonderful job you did on my dining room set. When our son called us to tell us it arrived he said I probably would not allow him to eat on it. To impress him is a major deal! Once again thank you and yes the wait was definitely worth it."  ​-Marlene and Donald Hagiasta

DESKS

"Dear Val and Rus,  I want to tell you how pleased I am with the desk you refinished for us. It is absolutely beautiful and I know we will enjoy it for many years to come. My husband Steve, enjoyed meeting you and was very impressed with your work and professionalism. I will certainly recommend you for anyone looking for an excellent job of refinishing and service. Thanks again." -Sincerely, Angela Casalino

"Greetings,  We just wanted to express our appreciation for the fantastic work done on a very old secretary's desk. Originally we had planned to place this desk in our bedroom but, after seeing the workmanship and finished piece, we promptly moved it to our living area."  -Thanks so much Jack and Bev Toolan

KITCHEN CABINETS

"Val and Rus, Thank you so very much for refinishing my kitchen cabinets.  Buying an older home is a challenge, and with your services I was able to have beautiful cabinets and keep the style of my 1700s farmhouse."  -Sincerely, Rebecca Taylor

Dresser

"Dear Russell and Valarie,
 
I have enjoyed many memories of visiting my Grandmother in Santa Fe as a young girl. I would snuggle under the covers in her bedroom as she read me stories before bedtime. It was a small bedroom with a lovely antique bed and dresser. I loved to open up her dresser drawers and smell her perfume scented sweaters and lingerie. When the dresser was sent East after she passed away, I only opened the drawers occasionally to preserve the scent of long ago.
 
I was reluctant to restore her dresser until I could find someone who would handle it with care, love, and the realization of its invaluable worth by the owner. For it is so much more than a dresser; it is a feeling, a smell, and a pathway to a special time in my life.
 
You have brought back a part of my life with the exquisite restoration of my Grandmother’s dresser. The feel of the wood, the perfect shade of the stain, the smooth gliding of the drawers, and the careful repair of one of the glass knobs.
Thank you for the effort, time, and expertise that you put into this project. You have done a stupendous job."

Ever grateful,
Leslie Addick

ROCKING CHAIR

---

"Dear Valarie and Russell,

Once upon a time, when I was a new mother, I rocked my infant daughter in an old painted chair given to us by my husband's family. Over the years, I grew to cherish it more and more because of the precious memories it evoked.

Only today have I come to realize its exquisite beauty. With arduous and painstaking attention to detail, you met the challenge of transforming a once pathetic piece into a treasured family heirloom. How fortunate I am to have entrusted you both with so monumental a task.

In a matter of days, the rocker will be passed down to my daughter, who is only weeks away from the arrival of her first baby. Then, gratefully the cycle will begin again and two mothers' hearts will remember you forever."
