Here at Grainmaster, we like our chairs to have a little flair.
Flamboyance is what it is all about, and these elegant chairs that we have been working on this week have all the flair a chair can share!
This is what it looked like before we started to work on it. Just an empty husk, sanded back.
Following this, we started to stain them, turning that pale timber into glowing warm honey-gold:
And then, the final touch. We like it when we look good, right? When we wear the best attire and put on some fancy-schmancy clothes? Well, if you do it to yourself, why not do it to your chairs?
A nice pinstripe looks on on anything with legs! And the European-styled polkadots will definitely be a season-after-season classic!
So if you want your chairs to share your flair, don't go looking over there! Grainmaster is the place for you!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and new year!
We know that the festive season can be a bit chaotic, and with all the celebrations, damage and wear-and-tear can occur on your furniture. To start off this year, we have fixed up a beloved coffee table that has seen perhaps one too many parties in its life.
It came to us looking like this:
The gloss and finish had all been work away, and the coffee cup and wine glass marks were all that remained. What this table needed was a lot of tender love and care - which was exaclty what we gave it!
This party-goer scrubbed up alright! We sanded down all the damage, and applied stain and gloss to it, making it shine like it's brand new! Not the way we managed to really highlight the light grain of the timber top - I bet you didn't even notice it before it's make over!
So next time that you think that your furniture has an after-party hangover, Grainmaster is the number to call to give it a once over!
Our year started off with bang, and we have been flat out working on all your furniture wants and needs.
We have had many pieces come through our doors this year, but one that is definitely our personal favourite, is this particularly unique and beautiful coffee table:
But before it looked like that, it looked like this:
Little more than the bottom half of a felled tree, we had quite the task to make it into the beauty it became. Doing a traditional french polish, we had to make sure that every nook and every crannie was polished to perfectiong before we could be happy with it. And being solid pieces of a tree, there were lots and lots of nooks and crannies to perfect! It was quite the task!
But we turned this piece from just a treestump in the woods, to a family heirloom to be passed on for years and years to come:
And a view of the top for your pleasure!
So if you have any spare pieces of timber lying around, or a felled tree you think would look good in your loungeroom, give Grainmaster French Polishing a call, and we can help turn your scrap-timber into pieces your family will love for generations to come!
Have you ever seen a table with gold highlights? Well, here at Grainmaster we can show you, and let me tell you, it's gorgeous. We have been up to a lot lately, and here is just one of our many projects.
A returning and long time friend of Grainmaster, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Sydney, gave us a lovely table that was a little worse for wear. Here you can see the marks and scratches on the top, and the faded gold detailing on the legs.
But once Grainmaster gave this piece a makeover, it was looking as good as gold! Look at the sheen!
Here is the revitalised gold detailed highlight!
And here it is in situ!
For any clients who want a bit of elegance in their room, Grainmaster is the place for you!
We've been super busy at Grainmaster so far this year! With so much going on, we thought we'd give you a little snippet of what we've been up to.
Today we have one of our major pieces that we've been working on for the last few months. Made for a returning customer, this bedroom looks simply fabulous! The deep blue and caramel timber contrast amazingly well.
Here is a close up of the upholstery work:
A bed-head fit for an Emperor!
This master suite has truly come up a treat!
So if you have a bedroom that is really sucking, come to us and we'll give it some loving!
We've been doing lots at Grainmaster over the last couple of months, and today we have one of the most crazy transformations to show you!
When this bedroom set came to us, it was in a sorry state. Sun worn, faded, dented and cracked, the situation looked pretty dire. Without any love for over twenty years, it was hard to see what a beautiful piece hid under it's sun bleached facade.
After much love, it became this:
A true ugly duckling!
So if you have your own ugly duckling that you want to turn into a swan, give us a call at Grainmaster, and we'll make you're pieces soar!
WLECOME TO THE JUNGLE! Ready for a walk on the wild side? Grainmaster knows how you feel!
Today we have a quick update to show you some of our newest creations. These chairs are fit for the Kings and Queens of the jungle (no, wait, definitely for the Queens), and perfect for any Tarzan-themed room. They are destined to be the roaring centrepieces of any place they are put. You'd have to be barking mad to not love them!
They may look like monkey business, but they are perfect for any wild man or woman!
So if you feel like your house needs some rumble in the jungle, or if you want to reconnect to the wild in you, give Grainmnaster a call, and we'll give you what you need!
Last week we were fortunate enough to work on a beautiful piece of antique furniture for one of our oldest returning customers. A traditional, vintage writing desk was in need of some love, and we at Grainmaster were happy to give it!
Fortunately the piece had been kept in a good condition. But, like people, furniture ages, and what was once a beautiful outer varnish becomes a tired and musty layer of old work. Luckily for the client, however, the piece was not just savageable, but had all the makings of a true work of furniture-art, becoming a centrepiece of the room it graces.
Here is what it looked like before we gave it some love:
Here it is just after final spraying:
And finally, here it is In Situ:
A beautiful piece that will be admired for generations to come!
So come to Grainmaster, we'll sort out your disasters!
Here at Grainmaster we're so good that people are dying to have us work on their pieces!
Today we have a mish-mash of things to show you. We've been hard at work to deliver the best and the most interesting pieces to you all over the last month, and today we proudly present some of that here!
