It's all in the details.

This door knob is from the original house when it was built in 1854. We found the door and the hardware in the cellar but it had been painted at least 5 times. After a little elbow grease and an acid bath, we were able to return the door and the hardware to this beautiful piece of work. I just love it. John insists on painting this door white, but I am trying to talk him out of it, as I love the old look of this wood..
