I am a follower of a blog called Reclaimed Studio you can find it here Reclaimed Studio. This woman is based in Texas and she does some of the most amazing work I have seen on reclaiming old pieces of furniture. She truly is an inspiration to people like me who only wish they had that kind of talent. I have posted a few of her before and afters but she has many more on her blogs and lots of other topics and design inspirations. You truly should look at her blog she has many pictures to browse and its alot of fun to see all her projects.
