This pair has indeed seen better days, and oh-so-much smoke (hey, it was the 50s, everybody did it.) And they've still got great "bones". So, after being completely dismantled, scrubbed, broken chunks rebuilt and dings refilled with plaster, and fully sanded, they're ready for paint... and, I'm stuck. Do we just restore them back to their very autumnal brown and gold? Or an updated neutral, like a dark waxed ivory, to highlight the texture? Something bright and fun, like orange? Or ooh, maybe something dark and moody, like charcoal or navy?

I don't know... so, we'll start with a good base of primer to seal it all up, and think on it a bit more.

Love this!

Thrift isn't the only thing getting a full makeover these days! We're just wrapping up a top-to-bottom refresh of our client's little heritage cottage, and it's been such a satisfying project - a little bit of paint and a whole lot of elbow grease can make such a difference! Not every home improvement project needs to mean tearing things out - maybe there's more opportunity than you think to bring out the beauty in what's already there.

Look for some fun posts coming next week!

Not really an post, but I thought I'd share a little lesson in cast iron today: "seasoned" does not mean "a buildup of decades' worth of crud". This kind of buildup is not "patina" - it's just going to ruin your food, and your pan. Once cast iron, vintage especially, is properly seasoned, it's essentially non-stick. Clean it properly after each use - with hot water, a light scrub pad (but no soap because it will strip the seasoning) and dry with a cotton cloth (paper can leave bits.) Then while it's still warm, give it just a light coat all over of coconut or canola oil - LIGHT being the key word, so it doesn't just get sticky, gel up and crust over time. Maintain your cast iron properly, and it will last forever. (Literally. They're practically indestructible.)

This vintage Wagner Ware skillet is now ready for another lifetime of use - swipe to see just how pretty it was under all that crust.
