Installing Restored Brass Door Hardware and Faux Finishing the Mantelpiece Video

Bob and Ryley install the restored door hardware. Greg Rochlin (project architect) had the lacquer coated brass hardware intricately removed and numbered to insure its proper placement in the finished house. Rochlin polished the hardware with jewelers rouge to return it to its polished brass original finish. Ryley stresses the importance of organizing the pieces as they are removed and demonstrates their installation process. With the lacquer removed the knobs will need to be polished a couple times a year. Bob introduces a piece of furniture he has had in his home for a number of years. This period piece features Flame Mahogany veneers and Tiger Maple. This piece is the inspiration for the faux finished mantle in the den. Kim Sweet, the project artist, uses layer upon layer of colors and finishes to recreate the antique wood finish.
