Furniture restoration may not be a new thing, but Retro Modern spins this concept in a unique way on all the pieces they work on. They take recycled, vintage furniture and give them makeovers that retain their original essence in an updated kind of way.
Based in Australia, Retro Modern deals specifically with mid-century sideboards, buffets and tables. They offer the perfect solution to keeping often stuffy heirlooms in the family a little bit longer. I especially like their attention to pops of color.
