You did such a great job. The dining room is insane. Those ceiling tiles are amazing. Everything is bea-u-ti-ful. The Tilbury Lapis fabric for the office is so great. I hope we get to see the final finished photos too! The office will go up a few notches with that fabric. (and it's already so great as it is!) Just got back from the beach, and I’m in love!

However, I found it on top of a wardrobe, on its side, in a junk shop where I am pretty sure it was placed after it received some sort of acid lacquer bath in the 70s. The wood was super banged up, the handles on the dresser were plastic, and the finish was this weird like bubbly yellow resin. I tried stripping the finish first to salvage it, but no puedo. Sads.

You did a genuinely professional job. Two quibbles: 1. At the desk, there's no room to move the chairs sideways. 2. That cabinet you painted: I can see why you thought you should go light, but the original wood was a spectacular example of marquetry (geometrical patterns composed of small pieced inlays), and it was painful to see all that fine handiwork covered up with paint. If you needed a painted piece, it would have been better to get one with poor-quality or common wood. It’s great. You did a genuinely professional job. Two quibbles:
