I find it funny that no one has commented on this as of yet...I am an Interior Designer and I want this post printed as a hand out in my new client packet! Thank you for this post! I am the kind of designer with an art background and I can take a crappy hutch and make it fabulous but yes this costs money. It is incredibly frustrating that all the furnishings once only available to the trade are common place. It also make me crazy that most clients think 4-6 weeks is unthinkable for custom made furnishings. They want it now and perfect and inexpensive. Then they want to haggle with me on my hours after the fact.

is that vinyl siding?
I adore the wallpaper!

Anything painted before 1978 is guaranteed to have lead based paint. Always assume for the good of your health and the good of the planet that it does have lead based paint and just be responsible about it. You can check with your local solid waste removal people about how best to dispose of the paint chips. They will have a system in place.

happy restoring!
