My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

A restoration project!!

12 years ago
At Oriental Treasures we believe that nothing is ever unattractive! We rescued this vintage Maltese side table from becoming firewood and restored it, 'upcycling' the table into a 'Moroccan' style, black and gold masterpiece :) Let us know what you think!

      @diyher: actually in this piece I used spray paint, the one which comes in cans. I wanted the really smooth finish look so I wasnt happy with the effect I was getting with a paintbrush.

      So...why can't we add the projects of everyday people to our ideabooks? Why only the "pros"? I'd love to add things like this!

      @sbrustein - minute holes were first drilled into the surface, the nail heads were then dipped in wood glue and inserted into the holes. :)

      Now that's labor intensive- but the end result is worth it!

      Really nice. I probably would have pitched it, but you've recycled it marvelously. It is a wonder what a can of black paint can accomplish.
