This beauty below I scored concluding calendar week as well as for a decent toll because she had a lot of scratches on her, including the deep i of the front end in that place along alongside another materials that has at in i trial been fixed yesteryear yours genuinely ;-)


With this beauty that was made inwards the beautiful North Carolina ;-) came what I idea were brass hardware. But in that place is a divergence betwixt genuine brass as well as brass plated hardware. 
TIP: 
To exam if the hardware is brass or not, you tin forcefulness out but conduct maintain a magnet as well as consider if it volition selection upwardly the hardware. If it does NOT selection it up, it is existent brass. If it does, it's precisely brass plated.


In my case, my hardware was brass plated. For brass or brass plated hardware, in that place is a few method for renewing as well as cleaning the brass.

1/2 loving cup of tabular array salt to 1/2 loving cup of lemon juice... or any desired mix you have. Mix these 2 inwards the bowl together until you brand kind of a "paste." Dip hardware inwards for exclusively a few minutes as well as role a brillo pad to build clean all the excess grime off. In my case, I wanted to produce the opposite. I wanted to conduct maintain off SOME parts of the grime but non all to plough over it a genuinely AGED look.


Notice how you tin forcefulness out consider where to a greater extent than or less grime has been left as well as to a greater extent than or less has been wiped to exhibit the shiny brass coming through. It looks similar it has been through decades of wearable as well as tear which I love.



Now, recollect the before... 


And precisely breathe similar I did later I finished her...

But I mean value I bespeak to a greater extent than or less pretty greenery for the bottom similar these topiaries I stole from the living room.... or peradventure to a greater extent than or less vintage books or former lanterns! We shall consider what I find!

Let me know what you mean value of my method of aging my hardware. If you loved this post as well as wishing to "pin it" to your Pinterest board, you tin forcefulness out produce as well as then below. I would totally appreciate it if you did.
