Retro 1950s Kitchen

A customer had some old cabinets from the 1950s that were originally white. He was installing a retro 1950s kitchen, and came to us for help. We repainted the cabinets a soft yellow color, and polished them up till they glistened! Click on each image to enlarge.

Returning Uncle Billy’s Antique Bike to Him

At the end of May, we blogged about our secret antique bike restoration project for my Uncle Billy. Back when he was 11 years old, Uncle Billy bought a 1971 Columbia with money he had made from blueberry picking up in Maine.

He paid me to refurbish it, painting it a bright blue with his logo and company name. It came out great! There's a good chance you'll see him cruising around town in it! Before During During After
