         “We can restore the irreplaceable.”

Why Restore??? The furniture you own, just inherited, or are thinking about refinishing or repairing is an important part of history. It’s probably made of better material (real woods and wood veneers) and was crafted to be durable and serviceable for many years. If you have bought new furniture in the last 20 years you have seen this is usually not the case. Most new furniture is made from ground paper and wood pulp with an ever thinning wood veneer and construction techniques that are questionable at best. Use of plastics is at an all time high. Although newer furniture is somewhat serviceable it can be more expensive to repair than your older quality constructed pieces. Good refinishing brings back vibrant original colors and showcases the wood under modern more durable coatings that offer beauty and protection. Quality structural and cosmetic repair can economically put a piece back in service that may have been otherwise discarded. Restoring makes since environmentally too since the furniture restoration process uses less than 10% of the energy and natural resources that are required in new manufacturing. Sound interesting???

And in April (the 22nd) we celebrate Earth Day 2008! As furniture restorers and conservationists we are The Original Recyclers. Saving and conserving furniture can be traced back to even Egyptian times. Did you know that it takes at least one complete 80 year old oak tree to make just 4, yes, that's right, 4 modern oak chairs??? So let's do your part and dig out that old furniture. Maybe doing your part will even turn up a hidden family treasure!

April showers bring May flowers! Well, enough with the rain already. April is also bringing customers into our New Albany shop. Soon there will also be a widening of the Rt. 62 corridor directly in front of our shop. From what we understand you still should be able to get to our shop but you may have to follow some signs as that section of 62 will only be open to local traffic. The closure will last appoximately 30 days but we're still not sure when this will happen. Best thing to do is ALWAYS call before you come to shop.

Okay! Finally, we have made some changes to the web site. First you will notice that we do indeed have a Picture Gallery here now. Just tap on that name in the left column and you'll be taken to our gallery of some Before and After pictures. We are still working on size and quality of these pictures but those should help you visualize what we do at Furntiure Physicans. Next notice the Restoration News. Tap on that name and you will be taken to the area of specials, promotions, e-newsletter and we'll even throw in restoration and conservation tips as well. It doesn't matter if you are a new customer or you're just shopping here you should go there and see what's current and you might even save some money!
