Historic Furnishings from the Bavarian National Museum in Munich

/ Matt Talley / Leave a comment

Stamps-With-Foot and I had a long weekend in Munich last month and we spent the better part of a day in the Bavarian National Museum (Bayerisches Nationalmuseum) looking at cool old stuff. Their furnishings collection is impressive, with rebuilds of entire rooms from castles, hunting lodges and ale houses from 1400-1800. My wife gave me free reign to snap pictures to my little heart’s content so what follows is a collection of chests, cabinets, beds, and other furniture from their collection. I also love wood carvings and bronze, so expect a sampling of those as well. There were a lot of images to load and I put up smallish images for the sake of speed, so if you see one that you REALLY like and want more detail, let me know and I will send you a full sized image and all of the notes that were attached to the piece.

Cafe Table Refinish/Resale

/ Matt Talley / Leave a comment

I sort of inherited/acquired a beat up wood and iron cafe table set this summer.  While working on some other projects that I took some time and refinished both the table and chairs: sanding, adding some stain, and finishing it all with three coats of sprayed outdoor spar varnish.  I dropped the set off a a local consignment shop and it sold after a couple of weeks.  I was able to make about $95 after paying for the supplies that I used and the shop’s fee.  I put the money toward a a utility bill that wasn’t ours, but that we ended up responsible for.

In my head, a nice trendy couple will have coffee and croissants every Saturday morning on the porch or patio of their starter home, sitting at that little table for years to come….
