Antique Newel Posts
 

Our client's builder had installed a sturdy stair landing with very poor wood. Yet, the floor was made of oak and heavily grained. Urban Revivals primed the stairs, faux-grained the wood to match, and preserved it with several layers of satin antique varnish.

 

This bathroom had changed little from its 1930's design. Fortunately, it still possessed the old black-and-white hexagonal tiles on the floor, and a compatible design for the walls.  The renovated bathroom featured black and white papers of bathroom vanities, upgraded trim, re-plastered walls, newly applied wallpaper, upgraded fixtures.

  

This 1930'stable with drop-leaf ends, had taken a beating over the years. Interestingly, it appears to have been covered with a pigmented varnish (oil-based varnish with dry pigments added) to give it a purplish-black coloring. This table was ebonized.
