Good going, but if you really want a challenge, try a kid's toy like a swing set or a toy kitchen. In my experience they're many times harder than most furniture.

My bathroom was typical early 50's plaster with pink and black ceramic tile on the floor and walls.
Stripped it down to the studs. The baseboard metal cover was replaced with angle iron and tiles. The "Psyche" print from the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair is the medicine cabinet. 2" maple windowsill and shelf. Bath towel bar is a recycled hand rail from a stairway in an old house.
These pictures were taken when it was first finished. Considerable DoDad's have been added.

Is that print of Psyche a Waterhouse work? Can't quite see it clearly enough to tell.

It's from the B. Anthony collection. I bought it by mail from an ad in Playboy magazine for around $50, as I recall. You know how we old farts have memory trouble. I don't see an artist credit.
