I quite like the look of the stripped back plus painted front too, but I’m a sucker for distressed paintwork. I love the beaded edge on this… a very good find!

Definitely an improvement – well done! And I admire you taking such effort over a small detail like that – it makes such a difference and I’m so glad you cared enough!

This project gives me hope! I’m mid-way through my own paint-stripping project, and to be frank, right now, it looks like a small mammal exploded inside a vintage medicine cabinet. Guh.

I like the idea of having a metal utensil holder like this on the kitchen wall. You could use magnets to post a recipe card to it while you’re cooking.

It’s lovely! I’ll have to be on the look out for ugly painted tin to strip! Thanks!

When i say polish- i mean, just using metal polish (available at any hardware store or grocery) with a rag as per the directions.

It’s a must to seal metal with an oil based poly when it’s going to be exposed to water or humidity. Otherwise, it’s up to you!

You can use the directions for all types of metal!
