This client asked if I could refinish this gorgeous wooden bench. It belonged to her late grandfather and was a precious item in her life. The problem; wasn't really her taste. She asked me for "Jenni Kayne vibes." Excited by the opportunity to emulate one of my favorite designers, I responded, "say less!"

This one was a ton of sanding. It allowed me to experiment with different hand tools, sand papers and pads, and 3 of my electric sanders. She was beyond thrilled with the turnout and it inspired me to find a bench of my own to refinish.
