DIY Refurbish Vintage Electric Clothes Iron Mar 2014

This antique piece should be from the 1930s or 1940s which is also family owned. Tried to give the piece a refreshing look but certain area of the steel parts are quite badly corroded. Decided to polish only those areas which are still correctable.

DIY Refurbish Vintage Cabinet Mar 2014

This antique piece has been sitting in an isolated corner of our home for many, many years. Not sure what to name this antique piece - too small to be called a cupboard..... Anyone can help to identify? This piece must be from my grandparents era.
So, I decided to give it a new lease of life and make it a showpiece in our home.....
