When you live in a 60+year old house it probably goes without saying that there are alot of projects to be done. Here are a few pics of some what I like to call "restoration" jobs.
It started with the front door on memorial day. Peeling old bad paint, no problem right? Just strip and repaint right? Well the front of the door had 4 stubborn layers while the inside had 3. 5 applications of paint remover, a belt sander, and many months later, a beautiful front door. At least on the outside, inside still to be repainted.
Next, since I already had the remover, I decided to strip the gold spray paint off 2 great milkglass pendants. No before shot, sorry.
Finally, in my lets deep clean the kitchen, I decided to see if the cabinet handles really were supposed to be blackish. Its kind of gross what 60 years of greasy grime can do to shiny copper. 3 days of work and 20 handles later. Im still deciding on how to clean the 40 hinges.
