Unfortunately, someone painted over all the hardward. Good grief! I'm going to try to strip the paint off the hardware that she's got, and I'll have to buy a few new pieces to replace missing hardware. It's beautiful though, isn't it?
She's not perfect in any sense. She's been battered around a lot and has about a bajillion layers of paint on her. Someone obviously started to strip the paint off and didn't get very far. I can relate. It is a hideous job, but in the end it's the only way to go...
Such beautiful details...
They just don't make furniture like this anymore.
I'm so anxious to begin the refinishing, but I have to wait until it gets a little warmer. Oh, and before I forget. Here is some of the best news of all. Hard to believe, but true...
As I was driving her home, I assured this little beauty that $14.99 was not a true representation of her worth! On the tag you'll notice it says "Week 12." I can't believe someone didn't snatch her up on Day 2. So happy! More to come...
