Seriously Kathy...I knew you would love that book! <br /><br />Seriously Kathy, this room is so lovely. I can't stop looking at these pictures, you did such a wonderful job, it looks like everything is is its rightful place! <br /><br />I am especially jealous of the ornate door hardware... mine are squares! I did a tutorial a while back on mine where I boiled the old paint off my hardware and then repainted it. <br /><br />I works for those hard to clean pieces of hardware. <br /><br />http://confessionsofanewoldhomeowner.blogspot.com/2010/01/project-control.html<br /><br />I hope you are all doing well- thinking of you and yours often- VVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820981396988839535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700566518354161220.post-7335587880737907132010-07-24T06:29:10.468-07:002010-07-24T06:29:10.468-07:00Kathy,
It looks beautiful! I know how much work ...Kathy, <br /><br />It looks beautiful! I know how much work goes into all the prep and painting on these old homes. Regarding the hardware; you can use "Goof" if it's latex paint and "Citrus Strip" (or another GENTLE noncaustic remover) on everything else. The door knobs and plates look great against the white doors. We have keys for all our doors and they all function. Did you know you can buy a master skeleton key in Home Depot? (there is only a few different cuts that were used) Before Google and the internet we actually talked to others and learned things. One room at a time and it will get done. I have a copy of Sweet Abundance on my bed stand too. <br /><br />Your Friend, <br />DeborahFairfieldHousehttp://fairfieldhousenj.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700566518354161220.post-87759923189349984842010-07-23T17:26:05.748-07:002010-07-23T17:26:05.748-07:00Kathy!
