We have a growing library of methods to diminish and get rid of scratches, dings, dents and stains on your piece. Our approach is a conservative one — we love restoring wood to its former glory, while recognizing pieces carry history from their lives. We strive to bring beauty to our pieces. Our regular clients consist of fellow shop owners, interior designers and individuals who trust their pieces in our care. We offer furniture refinishing, caning and cording services. Prices vary depending on the scope of the project.

Inquire below with information about what your piece is, approximate size and what kind of work you’d like done. You can also email us studio@lessonsofthings.com with photos and information. We’ll respond to your request to discuss approach, options, pricing and timeline.
