Feeding My Furniture!

 

When is the last time you fed yours?

 

I’m not going to apologize for this very fuzzy photograph.  Want to know why??

Because this is the way the foyer has looked since I took the Christmas decorations off  a month ago!!!  Can you believe it??   I’m totally a little bit ashamed.  Hey, it could be worse…the Christmas decorations could still be up!

I passed through the foyer today more times than usual and it just hit me like a ton of bricks during one of these passes, that this was just not going to work another day! Great first impression for guests, huh?

So, I got busy. This piece of furniture is really dry, so I feed it twice a year.   I  use “The Natchez Solution”.  The all natural product polishes, protects, and preserves.  Beeswax, lemon oil, and selected mineral oil feeds the wood with no wax build up.

I first started using this in Mississippi  8 years ago when I had some natural wood furniture in my antique booth.  I started using it on my own furniture when I saw how good it was.  This is the same bottle!

 

                                                                                                                        

After blowing off the glitter (yep), I’m ready to go!

 

 

Use it sparingly with a soft cloth and leave it on for 2 hours to feed.

 

 

 

See the little lines I drew? 

The right has been fed.

The left is still hungry.

Look at the difference in the wood grain!

So for now, that’s all.  I will go and wipe off the excess in 2 hours and give it a light buffing.   It will be good to go until  July!

Tomorrow, I am going to do something new in the way of tablescaping it.  I have no idea what it’s going to be.  Maybe, I will dream up an idea tonight!!  I will be back in a day or two with the results.
