Restoring furniture with scarves

I'm a big fan of restored furniture. It never ceases to amaze me how many people spend a fortune on flatpacked furniture when they could get a well-made piece for half the price in a charity shop or thrift store and make it their own. I've got a couple of very exciting guides on how to restore furniture planed for you but before that, I just had to share the work of Portuguese furniture restorers Habitat Improver. They use traditional manual techniques to restore and repair older pieces. Their work is gorgeous and definitely something I want to try for myself! This table is called "Folklore". They took an unremarkable brown table and, using vinyl gloss and traditional Portuguese silk scarves, transformed it completely.
