<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 68204, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp; I refinished my in-laws parent&#039;s bedroom suite. It is a waterfall pattern that I thought was early 1930s turns out they bought the set in 1936. They had an estate sale and everything sold but the bedroom suite. The wife died in 1962 and the set had not been dusted but once a year. The sale was in 1999. Everyone thought it had a brown suede finish. I took the set and stripped it. It was a wonderful walnut, cherry and blond mahogany finish with striping of pear wood and ebony. I cleaned the handles and they were brass with bright red paint. The very somber set looked like a glamorous Hollywood design when I was done with the refinishing. All of a sudden six members of the family all said they would like to have it. Before it was redone no one wanted any part of it. I would have traded it for the 1922 walnut set they had originally but it was sold. They only thing I did was make it fit a queen size instead of the double which it was. That meant losing the two side panels, other wise it is just the way they had it.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
