Are you one of those people who look at antique furniture and say to your self - that's just old junk. Crap. And standing right beside you is your friend who is just about to faint over the new piece she just found.
Well sooner or later you may have to love that antique
look.
We all love our granny, grandma - whatever we call the
loving old woman who raised our parent but more importantly, the endearing person
who showers us with unconditional love. And because she constantly babies you
every now and then, should she leave you a family heirloom - no, not any
jewelries but a table. What are you going to do with it? Remember that the
table, no matter how simple it looks, did come from your sweet old grandma so
you have to accept it with a more-than grateful heart.
Okay, so it's not that bad after all, the kitchen she
left you with is antique and has outlived more than three generations before
you, maybe even more. So now you get it, the table is a treasure and there's no
rule of any kind that's stopping you to spice it up! Yes, you can re-furnish
your grandma's table and give a more modern touch and feel to it.
Antique kitchen tables can be polished with beeswax once
or twice a year. Others maintain the flawless look by putting a crystal cover
on top to minimize any scratches.
Take good care of this unique heirloom if you can - after
all, it is special to the person special to you.
Antique tables may not always be your first choice, but
they can play an important role in helping to pass down your family history. So
be happy, take especially good care of the table, and tell your children that
they too will one day be so lucky.
