Thinking about updating your Craftsman Home?
Here are a few helpful tips...

Old wood is full of charm and character -- in most cases it just needs a little refurbishing.  We suggest refinishing your floors with no stain and a matt finish to bring out its natural charm.

Wood moldings, paneling, doors and windows can be brought back to life by rubbing the wood with steel wool and a little paint thinner. Then lightly brush on varnish with added stain to match the wood.

Claw foot tubs can be made fun by painting the outside with paint that will go on metal. Try something to match your color theme, for example a gold leaf paint looks great.

Don't toss out old stained glass. Stained glass can be replaced and repaired  by using a  rolled glass to match the original. The lead is also easily repaired.
