Photo-first furniture restoration, custom painting, wood-tone preservation, surface repair, and hardware restyling for well-built vintage pieces in Olympia and nearby South Sound communities.
Each project starts with photos so we can read the construction, surface condition, finish history, hardware, and the direction that makes the furniture feel intentional again.
Careful prep, adhesion planning, primer choice, finish selection, and refined color direction for satin black, muted heritage tones, cream, and two-tone furniture. Explore our muted sage hutch and satin black dresser case studies.
Explore finish directionsWarm wood character, softened dated tones, refreshed surfaces, and finish planning when the grain is worth keeping visible instead of covering. See our Sligh Empire antique dresser revival.

Learn about hardware restylingThe best projects usually have real wood, quality veneer, lasting construction, meaningful shape, sentimental value, or a finish that can be made calmer and more current.
Photos help us avoid guessing. We look at the full piece, the surface damage, the hardware, drawer interiors, labels, and the room direction before suggesting a finish path.

Everything you need to know about timelines, transport, and workshop capabilities.
Most individual pieces take approximately 1 to 3 weeks from workshop intake to completion, depending on wood drying time, curing periods between coats, and prep requirements. Because we work on one piece at a time, your project does not sit in a backlog queue. Read our restoration timeline guide for a detailed week-by-week breakdown.
Yes! We provide careful local transport coordination across Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, and DuPont. Transport is priced transparently with a $45 local one-way minimum ($85 round-trip minimum) and $2.70 per transport mile. You are also welcome to drop off and pick up at our Olympia workshop by appointment. Review our complete pickup and delivery details.
We can closely harmonize tones with existing room pieces, flooring, or trim. When you text photos, include shots of adjacent furniture so we can balance warm, neutral, or cool wood undertones. Explore popular shades in our Finish Studio or check our guide on how to choose a furniture finish color.
No. We intentionally specialize in surface-level restoration: refinishing, artisan furniture painting, wood-tone preservation, minor veneer patching, scratch repair, and drawer/hardware tuning. We do not re-pad or re-cover upholstered seating, nor do we rebuild shattered frames or do museum-grade conservation. For pieces with doubtful construction, check our guide on is your furniture worth restoring.
Take 3 to 4 clear photos in natural indirect daylight: a straight-on full view, a close-up of any water rings, scratches, or chipped veneer, an open drawer corner showing dovetails, and any maker stamps or tags inside drawers. See our step-by-step photo submission guide.
Our workshop is based in Olympia, WA, and we serve clients throughout Thurston County and the greater South Sound, including Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, DuPont, and Downtown Olympia.
