A lady I know was advertising some old furniture that she was trying to get rid of because she was no longer able to restore them herself. I went and had a look and at the top of the heap, I saw this commode chair sticking out. On closer inspection saw the pictures on the front and it was love at first sight.
I was cleaning out my kitchen cupboards the other day and came across this old teapot. It was purchased about 20 years ago at a car boot sale for £1 when I lived in the UK. Why I bought it I have no idea because I never drink tea. I hated the idea of throwing it away so I thought I would upcycle it into a steampunk-themed teapot.
This couch was posted on my local Buy, swap and sell site. The owner stated that it was put outside and if you wanted it you could come and pick it up. They said if it was still there the next days it was going to the dump. This was one of my early day restorations so there is no step by step instructions. But I wanted to show that just because it looks like trash it does not have to be. I could see the potential but I have not done a restoration like this so I thought it would be a good practice run for me. My intention was to try and restore it and get some practice at the same time.
