Latest restoration project 💙

Stripped back to bare timber, backing covered in cute cotton gorillas I got on clearance at spotlght, refinished handles and replaced broken knobs, finished in home made beeswax and linseed oil wax - no laquers or stains to let the natural native timber be the star of the show.

3 Sentence prompts: Willexie + Thrift Shopping!

Just because they were kind of famous now, didn't mean Reggie wanted to give up on his favourite hobby. Listen, he'd gotten his most iconic outfit from the thrift store. Okay, it had been pretty much his only outfit for a while. But it had clearly worked, because Sunset Curve was topping the charts now and everyone thought he was really cool.

Another bonus to having one iconic outfit was he could just ditch the leather jacket and flannel for the day and be basically incognito. Not that a lot of old people at estate sales knew who he was, but he'd been recognised at a bunch of garage sales and it just felt wrong to try and haggle with someone who really just wanted his autograph.

"Tell me again why you dragged me out of bed at five in the morning to drive down to Pasadena to look at... old junk?" Alex whined, sipping on the giant coffee Reggie had gotten him along the way. He was dressed in one of Reggie's flannels, which honestly was kind of a little treat in and of itself. Reggie himself had stolen one of Bobby's shirts and Alex' denim jacket.

"Because it's fun?" Reggie asked. Alex did not look convinced. "Because we can get cool stuff for the house?" he tried again.

"We can get cool stuff for the house at literally every store we want now," Alex pointed out. Which was true, they had Money now. Of course their co-dependent asses still went and bought a house together like they always said they would. It was just... slightly closer to a mansion than the shitty apartments they'd been thinking of when they were seventeen and broke. "Luke and Bobby spent a couple of grand on a new sound system."

"It's not about the money," Reggie pouted. "It's about the thrill of the chase. It's about treasure hunting! It's about finding unique pieces nobody else has!"

Alex stared at him, unamused, obnoxiously slurping his coffee.

"Fine, you're here because you love me and because I need your big sexy muscles to help lift stuff into the truck if we find anything." He was hoping to find a cool coffee table, or a desk, and they could still use a nice dresser.

"Fine," Alex said, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "But if I find something cute, you're doing the haggling for me."

"Deal."

The morning went pretty well. They found some cool lamps, and a couple of nice hardcover science fiction books Reggie thought would look very mature and adult on their shelf. Reggie managed to haggle down on a really mature looking desk that would look great in their 'We're Real Adults Now' house, and Alex did use his sexy muscles to help get it onto the truck.

After a quick early lunch in town, they went to the next estate sale. They agreed to split up, since it was later in the day and they needed to be fast before all the good stuff was snapped up.

Except when Reggie rounded the corner, he saw Alex wasn't looking for a nice dresser or pretty trinkets. Alex was talking to a very hot, very cool guy in a crop top.

Reggie narrowed his eyes, going over. Alex beamed. "Hey babe!"

"Why are you flirting with the enemy?" Reggie hissed.

Alex groaned. "Not this again."

"Hey, Reggie," Willie beamed. "Great job on nabbing that desk at the Gilmore estate, I had my eye on that too. But you got here a little late. Do you want to see the heirloom patchwork blanket I scored? And I found this really cool dresser I'm going to paint..."

Reggie squinted at their rival, annoyed. He wanted a cool dresser. And the patchwork blanket folded over his arm looked really nice.

"I'm sure it will look really cool," he said, trying to keep the sulk out of his voice. He gave Alex another glare.

Alex just stared at him. "Maybe I was distracting Willie so you could be the first to notice those vintage comic books in the corner," he said, and Reggie gasped, running off and rifling through the box before Willie could get there.

"Aw man, low blow, Hotdog!" Willie complained.

"Yeah, I'm evil like that," Alex deadpanned, rolling his eyes at the two of them.

In the end, Reggie came away with some Spiderman and Hawkeye comics that were still missing from his collection, and a cute little side table they could paint a pretty pink for Alex. As they were finishing up and loading everything in the truck at the end of the day, Willie moseyed back over.

"Howdy," he said, tipping a cowboy hat Reggie had completely missed. He felt a stab of jealousy, not just for missing it but also because Willie looked unfairly hot like that. Then, Willie plopped the hat on Reggie's head. "We still on for dinner?"

"The burger place?" Reggie asked, leaning over to press a kiss to Willie's cheek.

Alex popped out of the truck. "Oh so now it's okay to flirt?" he asked, grumpy.

"Of course it is, Alex, it's four thirty," Reggie said, propping the cowboy hat on Alex' head. He did not look as sexy as Willie had, but he did look kind of cute. They should go on a horseback riding date, all three of them, sometime soon. He'd bring it up over dinner.

"Yeah, Hotdog, we're only mortal thrifting enemies between six and four," Willie agreed.

"You two are so weird," Alex complained, but he still climbed down to sit in the bed of the truck to receive kisses from both his boyfriends. And over dinner, he smiled indulgently as his two thrift-nerdy boyfriends compared notes and showed off pictures of the treasures they'd found.

tryna keep up with documenting my furniture refurbishing project this time. I get so jaded and that's a bummer. I love taking pics of things but are so shabby at esthetically enjoying the process of it sometimes. But it's fun to share this stuff with friends, have 'em comment on it so we can chitchat, and maybe inspire one another (i know a good bunch of great creative folks) :) so these are my woodcraft resolutions 🪵🪚

i love my interior design youtubers but they can be so so annoying. they obviously usually live in big cities with good thrifting scenes and will be like "there is NO REASON to buy new, ALWAYS thrift, just wait for the right item" like. ol' out-of-touch mcgee over here

Having to be an inoffensive public figure on Instagram or the like seems so tedious. I follow a couple people who were just regular people before becoming famous for various reasons (being on a TV show, having a video that got popular overnight etc) and it seems like you constantly need to serve up tired platitudes to appease your followers. Like you want your ability to reach a large audience to do good for the world but you don't want to be polarizing or controversial so you just say shit like "it's okay to take time for yourself! Don't feel guilty about having a donut or a nap!" And I'm sure there's people out there who are hearing that for the first time or it resonates better when it's coming from a particular figure they look up to. Like it's probably net good or at least neutral for the world. But man you see enough of those posts and they really just meld together into a big toothless slop and its like... you really aren't cut out for this social media thing. You don't really have anything interesting to say.

Tips to Refurbish Antique Furniture

When faced with the daunting task of refurbishing your antique furniture, it can be hard to know where to start. Even if you have a lot of experience with woodwork and carpentry projects, working on old pieces can be tricky because they often require special care. This is why it’s essential to take your time when refurbishing antiques so that you don't damage any original features or waste money on unnecessary repairs. In this blog post, I'll show you how to refurbish antique furniture correctly - by learning from my mistakes! Here are some critical tips you may want to follow: 1. Get to Know its History Knowing the history of a piece of furniture is crucial before you start working on it. This will help you determine what kind of refinishing is necessary and give you an idea of what it might look like when finished. Some pieces have specific stories attached to them, while others may have been used in homes across the country or worldwide. Knowing where they came from allows you to change their appearance without changing their story. 2. Decide on a Style When refurbishing antique furniture, it's essential to consider the style of the piece. Think about whether you want a formal look or a more casual one. Do you want to keep the original style or change it? Some pieces are best left in their original state. Others could benefit from a coat of paint or some new fabric. Be sure not to choose colors that wouldn't work well with your home décor. 3. Be Safe (Watch Out for Lead) You might be interested to know that you first have to clean it before you can even think about painting your old furniture. And as much as we'd like to live in a world where cleaning means opening up a window and hosing down our possessions with some soap suds, the truth is that most furniture needs more than just a scrub down. However, there is another potential problem when dealing with antiques: lead paint contamination. Lead toxicity occurs when small particles of lead get into your bloodstream through inhalation or ingestion. Lead poisoning can also cause problems for unborn babies, so pregnant women should take extra care when handling any refurbish antique furniture projects. 4. Inspect for Damage Next, inspect the piece for damage. Check for cracks, chips, or breaks in the furniture and drawers. It would help if you also looked over the hinges, handles, and other moving parts to ensure they are intact. Finally, inspect the wood for warping (a sign of dry rot) as well as cracks or other signs of damage caused by water damage. 5. Choose Your Tools Appropriately Older furniture tends to be made from higher-quality materials. That means you need tools that match the ingredients of the antiques. This might require you to visit a local hardware store to have everything laid out and ready to go when you start. 6. Find the Right Supplies Get creative with your design choices. One of the best things about refurbishing antique furniture is that there's no one right way to do it—you can be as creative as you want! Try adding personal touches like paint color or patterns on cushions if there's room for more decoration in this section of your home. Perhaps even use different materials for each piece, so each piece has its own character. 7. Take Your Time & Maintain the History Taking on a project like refurbishing an antique piece is no easy feat, so staying patient and keeping your head up is important. The restoration process can be long and tedious, but if you maintain a level head throughout it all, you will be successful in restoring your antique furniture pieces back to their former glory. If any parts of the process seem overwhelming or intimidating, don’t hesitate to seek help from knowledgeable friends or family members who may have more experience in this area than you. Conclusion You can also save yourself some money by refinishing the piece yourself. Or you are welcome to browse my shop of vintage and antique pieces. I love to transform donated items to refurbish antique furniture, so new life and character are developed that tell a unique story. I hope you feel this same sense of joy when you purchase one of my pieces or decide to refurbish your own!
