Happy New Year! The rug looks perfect. and thanks for the Danish oil tip too! We have a couple of teak pieces of furniture that need sprucing up which I've been afraid to do anything with in case I inexpertly wind up doing them more harm than good. Hey Anna! Happy New Year!

The rug looks amazing in the room. And I second the oil treatment that you used on the cart - it has spruced up many pieces of furniture in our home, too. Your home, as always, looks lovely.

Both give great results (mineral oil is a little easier to work with and easier to find, but I find you need to apply more coats). I'd try first with mineral oil, since you probably have it on hand already if you have wood cutting boards or salad bowls. If you like the result, you can move on to Danish oil or tung oil the next time. Just make sure that whatever you use has as few ingredients as possible (one!), and is wax-free.

Crisp pallet but still very comfortable and cozy. I love Danish oil. My grandmother told me about it many moons ago. It is amazing what a piece will look like after it has been cleaned and oiled.
