One Bad Decision Inc

We are an experienced antique furniture dealer and a highly trained and experienced furniture restorer. We display and sell our antiques at Porta Portese an upscale gift and antique mall in Seneca, SC located on historic Ram Cat Alley ( see Delivery, Ordering, Contact Us for additional information ). We also offer antique furniture online here and with an international antique website. We have sold and shipped our antiques all over the United States as well as other parts of the world. We take great pride in our work and the antique furniture and accessories we offer for sale. Before starting Tredwood and ReCrafters, we purchased a furniture repair franchise in Raleigh, North Carolina. We started from scratch and successfully operated it for several years before selling it and moving away. We had both taken early retirement from the corporate world and wanted to do something fun. We thought furniture restoration would be enjoyable and rewarding. It was. We were professionally trained by a company with over 135 years in the industry. We repaired new furniture as well as heirloom antiques over 175 years old ; some pieces that sold for well over $20, 000 new and others that were only steps from being cast unto the junk heap. We became expert in fabricating furniture parts and color matching and made replacement parts that blended perfectly with the original color and finish of the piece. We did all the work in that repair business and we still do all the work. We are a small shop with no other employees. Our techniques and processes are the same. We offer the same, consistent quality product that we always have. We don't know any other way to do it. But way before we became professional furniture repair people, we were antique buffs. We bought and restored antique pieces for ourselves because we were young and didn't have a lot of money but most of all because we really loved the look plus each piece had a history to it that spoke to us, some real, some just imagined. Nothing has changed much, except we are a little older and have become much better restorers. Living with and using antiques is perhaps one of life's more enjoyable forms of recycling. We can imagine that antique lovers of old may have been among the first people to go ( be ) green. As restorers, we have saved a lot of furniture, a lot of antiques and more than a few trees and we feel very good about that. Our shop is an environmentally friendly one too. We use safe strippers and finishes that produce only a fraction of the air pollution of conventional solvent based finishes ( we also drive a hybrid ). So if you love antiques, don't have the time or inclination to search everywhere for the right piece and fix it up, and don't want to spend your children's inheritance ( but maybe add to it ), we may be the store for you. Or, you may own or wish to purchase a piece of wood furniture that isn't quite right. Whether it be structural integrity or cosmetic appeal, we can help make it right for you.
