Most of the house's original details were there, just under many layers calling out to be removed. Chemicals and elbow grease did wonders in removing 100 years of use.
First to be exposed were the oak newel posts and handrails. And, how nice they turned out!
Most of the original door hardware was able to be saved and reused. Brass cleaner did wonders to restore the knobs and plates to their original shine.
And, who would think that the original 1915 Arts and Crafts mailbox could ever look so good?!
Or that layers of old soot would uncover such nice ceramic house number?!
