A good example of woodwork rehabilitation is an older home we did quite a bit of work in. It was in the pupil ghetto area that a guy owned and paid off early. He rented the upstairs out and lived in the downstairs. He had the money to do quite a bit of home improvement.

His house was one of these older homes and he had indubitably nice woodwork. Nice solid doors, tall baseboards and wide trim. It needed to be restored though. It was all old, dark, stained woodwork and would have looked indubitably good with a nice enamel terminate in a "coffee with cream" type of color.
