What are we going to do with ALL these shiny brass doorknobs and hinges?

Wednesday, June 12, 2013

Yep. It's a dilema. You want to update your kitchen, bathroom, living room, etc., but those really dated (and usually tarnished) shiny brass builder's grade door knobs and hinges are all over the house. You can ignore them, replace them ($, ouch), or paint them. Young House Love has a great solution for you. Paint them in an oil-rubbed bronze spray paint!

Let me know if you do this successfully and how long they last without needing repainting, as I have never done this.

"Hi, Deb-

Just wanted to say how valuable you are in the design process. When I think of how many hours I have wasted of my time running here and there- only to be unsure of my choices, I have come to realize what a value you are. Your attention to beautiful detail gives me the assurance that my project will always reflect timeless good taste the first time around. Many Thanks! "

"Debra Paessler Designs has done a wonderful job for me on many projects, some smaller and more large-scale. She has designed tile for a major bathroom renovation, transformed our back porch form plain to impressive, supervised a kitchen renovation, helped us to choose many upholstery and paint colors, and helped to frame and hang numerous pictures. She has a team of skilled and reliable people to help her work her magic. She is consistently a pleasure to work with, and I will hire her for any interior design job I need."

"This project, a complete renovation of our kitchen and den is the second one Debra has worked on with us. The first was a beautiful renovation of a bedroom, bath, and a new airy sunroom. Her first step is to ascertain what will go well with your home, your basic taste, and your budget. She is very creative, has an excellent sense of color and style and pland the project down to the last detail. She does the research necessary to present you with choices that you are comfortable with - from the small table to the cabinets and fixtures. Contractors respect her judgement and she makes certain that they turn up on time and do excellent work. In all she is very qualified in her field, takes into account the angst that the home owner feels during the renovation to their home, and is very pleasant to work with. We highly recommend her to make your home more beautiful.
