More about Unpainted Furniture Stores

By: Thomas Bridleman

Many people are amazed by the quality and choice available at unpainted furniture stores. Although the pieces have been produced on mass in a factory somewhere, they are relatively easy to turn into unique pieces fit for any home.

The key is to pick simple styles that you can polish or stain to bring out the woods natural beauty. One style that suits most homes is the Shaker style. This was developed in the period from 1770 to the 1800s. The Shakers were a religious sect originally from New England. They believed that furniture should be simple and useful but don’t let that mislead you. The very simplicity of these pieces adds to their beauty which is why the style is so popular today.

The Shaker sect didn’t believe in carving designs into the wood for the sake of it. The only finishing touch these pieces received was some staining to bring out the inherent elegance of the wood. The craftsmen preferred to work with locally sourced wood so used Maple, Pine or Fruitwood. When buying items from unpainted furniture stores, why not follow the lead of these craftsman and use stains to bring out the natural beauty of the bare wood furniture.

You can buy Shaker reproduction furniture in a finished state but often the pieces are made from cheap woods such as gum and whitewood. They are then stained to look like mahogany or oak. Buying bare wood furniture ensures that you know exactly what type of wood you are buying and you should be able to buy real pine or Maplewood for a lower price than the complete reproduction product would have cost.

Are you worried that you will not have the ability to apply a stain finish to these furnishings? Don’t be. With a little groundwork, a lot of patience and the right tools for the job, you will be an expert in no time. I am certain you will be thrilled at the result you will be able to achieve using items you have bought from unpainted furniture stores.
