Ta-da! This single drawer is the first part of the main pantry to be…drum roll, please…RESTORED!

 

The finish is original: Amber shellac on pine. No stain.

Now I need to shellac the other drawer!

    The progress on the home is amazing when you think about where you started. It’s like I have heard before…….How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Savor this bite for the great job you are doing.

    Love seeing paint removed from wood! The only thing better is for stain-grade wood NEVER to get painted. Ross: making the universe better one restoration at a time. Grateful for you and Cody!

    Oooh! The Baby Steps(TM) method works! I’m going to apply it to the Thanksgiving leftovers today. Lots of stuff to pack up and freeze.

    That is going to be so gorgeous. I can feel the warmth of it from here. 🙂

    That is beautiful. Amazing what a coat of shellac will do.

    Looks great…I have always wondered what madness possessed our not-too-distant ancestors when the looked around and exclaimed “Look at all of the warm, beautiful wood in our house! Let’s paint it all white!”
