after spending 10 weekends in a row stripping old doors of toxic lead paint, they were finally primed, painted and hung by the crew. all we were missing was the hardware: knobs, locks, and strikeplates. since the doors were old school [and were already cut for the old-style locks], we decided to go old school on the hardware too. the original doors, had original handles, but most of it was too far gone to salvage. and there wasnt enough of it that matched.
so then came Jenny to the rescue.
through the power of Ebay and her usual persistence, we obtained 5 sets of 100yr old door hardware [and some other odds and ends that people threw into the packages too. anyone need a crystal door handle?]
the result: REALLY COOL doorknobs that give the new place some more of that old-time flava.
