We have been in our house for 10 years and 85 days. I have disliked our door hardware for the exact same amount of time. I had looked into new hinges and knobs awhile back and man oh my did I have sticker shock. Yikes. We have 30 doors and 3 pocket doors in our house. New hardware was not happening.
So I began to think about refinishing them myself, but I didn’t really think it would have the durability doorknobs would need. And then I found Kara. She had already gone where I wanted to go and was happy with the result. That’s all I needed.
Supplies:
Boy, that seems like a lot! I didn’t have to go out and buy anything besides the paint, sandpaper, and steel wool for this project, so hopefully you will have most of this laying around your house as well. Sometimes it pays to be a packrat.
Stay tuned, next post we’ll dive into this project! Now I’m off to spray on a sealer layer…
