Just curious how many of you, especially when it comes to doors and drawers, let the knicks and scratches show under the new coats shellac, or if you just can't stand it and feel the need to replace all the birch?
Myself, I prefer to let the scars show. I feel, the trailer has a history and she earned those wounds. I'm lucky that all the drawers are there and are in good shape so I understand I everyone is not in the same position as me.
I also respect that some will step into my trailer and whisper things on their way out, but there's so much I'm having to rebuild already, it just feels wrong to scrap everything if I don't have to just for "beauty's sake". Besides beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? lol
One of my most beloved pieces of furniture in my house is an early 1800's primitive flour bin from Pennsylvania. To refinish it would devalue it! It's beautiful as it is! Cuts, scraps, bruises, etc.
(I think I'm just venting a bit because hubby ain't too crazy about it right now but he never sees the big picture. When it's done, you think it was all him! LMAO)
