When it comes to restoring furniture from the 1800’s your best option is Foxwood Restorations. Recently we restored an oak table with 5 leaves to its former glory. In addition, this particular table came to us from Ann Arbor, Michigan and the family wanted a full restore on the item. Oak is one of the most popular woods used to make furniture. This wood is very versatile and makes it useful for tables, dressers, bookshelves, and more.
The reason oak is so popular is the simple fact is the United States has a lot of it. Also, oak usually comes in two varieties, red and white. The grain in the types is similar, but white oak has longer rays. Furthermore, white oak is stronger and can achieve lighter colors than red.
For this oak table, we stripped, sanded, and restored it to look like the day it was made. In addition, we restored each individual leaf as well and made sure it all looked flawless. Our services are available to Ann Arbor, Saline, Ypsilanti, South Lyon, and all of Livingston county. Another service we provide is furniture repairs to the University of Michigan and all office furniture reupholstery. This includes chair repair services, cane, and rush seat repair.

First, we analyze the material of the furniture and the condition it is in, such as damaged, painted, burned, and etc. Then we use mineral spirits on the wood to let you know how it might look with a new stain on the piece. Next, we take the time to thoroughly clean the furniture removing old debris and dirt. In addition, on tables, we fix white rings that might have occurred over the years.
We next take the time to remove any unwanted paint or stains on the piece. Also, at this point repairs to the wood should take place as well. In addition, any cracks and dents are repaired as well. Finally, the pieces are sanded and stained and returned to their former glory. When it comes to refinishing there are many steps to follow and each piece will vary depending on damage and age.

Here at Foxwood Restoration, we would like to share a story about Sharen and her furniture from Ann Arbor. Sharon grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan and was an only child. Her mother was an accountant and also a single parent. Sharen was an only child and very close to her mother. After getting her degree in social work, Sharen moved to Saline, Michigan. Sharen’s mom Julie, continued to do accounting work out of her home office until she got dementia.
At this time, Sharon had to move her mother over to a nursing home in Ann Arbor. IN addition, to keep as much familiarity with items around her mother as possible, Sharen decided to keep and reupholster all 5 chairs of her mother’s furniture. By this time, her mother had developed incontinence. All of her furniture would have to be recovered in vinyl so it can be easily cleaned. Sharen wanted to keep the same original colors of the furniture that her mother Julie could feel some familiarity with the furniture. That is exactly what Foxwood Restorations did.
This is just one example of some of the restoring and reupholstering work we do for people in Ann Arbor. Of course, we also serve Saline, Brighton, and all the surrounding cities as well.

For instance, water rings, nicks or scratches, or faded from sunlight may develop over time. Furniture like a home has memories that many people want to pass down. The following is a story from a recent customer who wanted to restore furniture for generations to come.
Aren is a middle school teacher who grew up in Saline, MI just outside of Ypsilanti. He now works In the Milan school district as a history teacher and also coaches football. Aren’s new wife Lynn is originally from Brighton, MI. She works at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in purchasing. They got married in May of last year and bought their first house in Ypsilanti. The house is located on a beautiful corner lot just across the street from the Oakengates subdivision park.
Aren’s parents, of Saline, insisted they incorporate his grandparent’s dining room set into there new Ypsilanti home. The tabletop was so beat up that it had to be planed at a mill-works shop. What a difference that made to the maple top! Notice the rich walnut stain against the now painted blue support and chairs. Just a stunning combination and smart retro look. Aren and Lynn are now expecting their first baby in April and plan to someday pass the table set down to the 4th generation.
