Guys. Confession time: I think stripping paint off antique hardware is fun. It also comes with the added bonus of being one of the easiest ways to sponge every last bit of character out of your home - you know character, that thing that we all want our old homes and apartments to have? Forget fancy moldings and un-painted wood work. There's lots of it hiding in all those badly painted and chipped READ MORE Guys. Confession time: I think stripping paint off antique hardware is fun.

Remember back when I was debating moving the bed a few weeks ago? I'm sure you guys are just on the edge of your seat waiting to see what we decided to do.

I dunno about you, but when I put together spaces in my home, everything is extremely thought out.
