"WOW!"
"I can hardly believe my eyes! "
"Is that really ours?"
"I didn't recognize it!"
"All are exclamations we have uttered in surprise
and delight when you, Sandra, have worked your
magic on several old pieces of furniture. How we wish
we had to gone to you years ago with our dark,
dull family treasures. We didn't realize how bad
some of them were until they returned looking like new!
Have we been pleased with your service? Without a doubt!
You return pieces when you say you will.
You always have time to share our delight
in the work you and your team have done.
You give an honest opinion of which
pieces may be worth refinishing and which
are not. (See FAQ.)
You honour your estimates and, if a piece
takes less time than anticipated, you adjust your fee accordingly.
You take the time to examine each piece carefully
and explain clearly the work that is required.
And, most importantly, the pieces seem to
talk to you and you listen to what they say!
Thank you, Sandra, so very much.

The Uncle's Rocker
"When we found this rocking chair it was covered in green paint and was falling apart. When I came to pick it up at Sandra's shop I could not believe that it was the same chair! It had previously been left in our basement, but It will now have a new place in our home."
Stephen Williams
Grandma's Tea Wagon
"I was extremely pleased with Sandra's refinishing of my Tea Wagon. It belonged to my grandmother and was part of my childhood but after 70 years, showed the wear of time.
Sandra repaired and refinished the tea wagon to perfection."

Your Loving Care
"Dear Ms. Dee,
This note is intended to sound as our voice of appreciation for the project you had just completed for us.
As we have previously mentioned, we had consulted others prior to our good fortune of meeting you. A number of suggestoins to restore and redesign our large, high antique armoire that we were unable to accommodate in our new home included impractical solutions as well as prohibitive charges.
At the very outset of viewing the wardrobe in question, you were able to arrive at a solution in reducing the dimensions and the height and yet retain the integrity, beauty and usefulness of the piece.
We have been most impressed with your inventiveness, imagination, pursuit of perfection and interest in taking up the challenges of this assignment. Consequently, we wish to express our satisfaction in your excellent workmanship and obvious caring in restoring fine furniture. As well, it has been a distinct pleasure and a learning experience for us to discuss this complex project with you along the way to its completion.
We look forward to seeing you in the not too distant future, with reference to several other pieces of furniture in need of your loving care."
Eva Hardy Horivitz, Pickering
A Colleague's Praise
"Dear Sandra:
I have been making furniture for 15 years.
My pieces include:
a complete bedroom suite in solid oak - triple dresser with mirrors, single dresser, hutch, and 2 night tables
a cherry sleigh bed and matching night tables
a cherry bookcase
a birch curio cabinet
two custom design oak wall units
a cherry coffee table with matching end table
All of these pieces, plus others, were taken to you for refinishing.
You are very good at suggesting the appropriate finish for the pieces that I bring. The result is a very professional looking finish on every piece.
You have done an excellent job at a very reasonable cost. I would highly recommend your services to anyone."
