I scratched my head a lot and I'm up to this stuff in my elbows every day.

We're alway...Very well written and informative. We're always educating our clients on the different types of finishes and especially what a "living finish" is exactly. My brother (FOLGER & BURT ARCHITECTURAL HARDWARE INC. wwwfolgerandburt.com) does custom finishing on some of the door and cabinet hardware that we sell and as well we have a long standing relationship with SUN VALLEY BRONZE and all their products are recycled bronze with living finishes - - which sets them apart and are so much nicer I think than lacquered ones. Anyway, very well written !

It is BEAUTIFUL... and sadly it had been painted over... but we stripped it down and WOW! Plan is to one day have a mold cast of it and add faux hardware to the doors in the addition to our home. DON'T CRINGE... we added on in a way that you would NEVER know!<BR/>Thanks for stopping by my virtual trip...
