When working and refinishing furniture, I am asked to “make it work” a lot by clients. Recently, clients asked us to work on a brand new, high end hardware store coffee table. They had been seeking out the perfect coffee table for years. This table was ideal in every way except it was only 13” high. Whenever you sat near the table traditional scaled furniture, you had to lean down.
Starting from the ground up, I built up the base an additional 5" matched and further detailed the gold leaf finish, and finally applied a wax finish to enhance the look and for durability. The client was delighted with the “make it work” plan for this table which was now truely ideal.
