Feeling a sense of accomplishment. At work (midcentury modern and machine age vintage furniture place) today, I finished a project I have been working on in spare moments at the shop. An industrial stainless steel pie safe from an institutional kitchen (formerly wall-mounted in its previous life) we got a few weeks ago is now given a new lease on life. I cleaned it up, removed all the dried paint splatters from aeons ago that were all over it, cleaned off decades of filth, removed a non-functioning and toxic light fixture from the interior, mounted and wired a new light fixture inside and put it up on vintage hairpin legs to make this medical/industrial BEAUTY of a console for some lucky bastard who comes in the store. I hope I get to deliver this, because I want to see the kind of home this goes in.
