I prefer to use a dry air wood, to bring the best quality for any unique piece.

Very nice! Undoubtedly, coloured baths will be back eventually, although even at the height of their popularity I didn't really like them! White goes with everything.

Give it to me :D I have a business 'upcycling' furniture, I buy from auctions, charity shops, re-use centres, anywhere that sells reasonably priced items. I've also scavenged from skips, picked things out of ditches and dug through piles of woodworm infested, damp and mouldy furniture in old fashioned 'reclamation' yards. I love saving furniture, I'm the one who puts up their hand when the auctioneer says 'will anyone give me five pounds for this?' I have no pride and all donations are gratefully accepted ;)

I've got a teka table and chairs in my garden and l am not sure how to look after them. I have been reading about it and l don't know if it is better to leave them get old and silver or to sand them and give them a coat of special oil or paint. I don't dislike the idea of them getting a nice silvery colour but l am not convinced about them getting old and damaged.

An eclectic mix of old and new always helps a space.
