Antiquing or the art of gently aging:

As we approach the millenium, people are looking back over the past century and are learning to value things that last. This is especially true in today's "throw-away" electronic culture. A well-built piece of furniture will last several generations and it may go through many transformations during its life.

There is satisfaction in owning something that someone thought of well enough to keep in good repair while allowing it to acquire "character". After we paint and/or glaze a piece of furniture, the finish is rarely complete until the new finish is aged. This is one of things we try to teach at Dundean Studios: how to take the "newness" out of a finish, gently age it to a certain point and then stabilize it for the next generation. The generic term for this is antiquing. These techniques can be used for both furniture and architecture.

Creating tomorrow's antiques, today

is home page will provide the basic background for your business and explain the goods or services you have to offer. It will highlight the most important features of both your business and your website. Another key role of the home page is to provide your visitors with the information that they want at a glance, while offering links to the rest of your website.

It is also important for the home page to be current and up to date. One way of achieving this is to feature a different product or service image on the home page every week or month.
