Door Plates - before and after

Today I painted 20 door knob plates for Nella's doors - they went from this

Ughhh - nasty looking things 

To this

and a close up

OMG - I so want these

Talk about Art Deco at it's finest - aren't they something else?
Now I realize there are only a select amount of people who could get excited about this -
but I am definitely one of them -
These are very costly to buy - I have seen them from 49.00 to 129.00 ( and one site listed
them at 349.99 but the handles themselves were art deco shaped as well )
THERE ARE 20 OF THEM........................even buying the cheaper ones at 49.00, the cost
would have been 1000.00 dollars -

Hmmm - maybe there is a business opportunity here, lol

I used Rustoleum Satin Nickel finish - what do you think?

Progess on Buffet / Hutch

Well the work has begun -

I started of wanting to use completely different colors - leave my comfort zone - and I have ended up using my " go to " color from ASCP - Paris Gray once again.  Creature of habit I suppose - and I really do love
the Duck Egg Blue and Provence but I cannot see them in my dining room - and it is going to stay here for
a little while - at least until it's equal comes along and I cannot see that happening for the price I paid for quite some time............

It had gold metal grids in the glass panes - but for some reason the metal grid was outside the glass doors - making cleaning them impossible...........I was going to remove the glass completely and just leave the grids,
then I pondered removing the grids completely and leaving only the glass panes but I really think they belong on it - so I painstakingly removed everything from the frames - spray painted the grids with Rustoleum
Universal Advanced Formula ( first time using this particular spray and love love love it ) in a satin nickel -
and when I reinstall everything I'll put the grid on the inside of the glass - so at least the outside can be cleaned.

Here are a few pics - but it is nowhere finished yet

satin nickel finish

original color

added a couple of details 

in progress

and that's about that for this evening - think I'll go to bed - this will be an early night for me - 1.30 in the morning, lol
