| This is a double post since some of you here know my old house and have also followed the remodels I've done to the bathroom, kitchen, and the moulding in the dining room. I finally managed to take the old King of Prussia marble mantel shelf from my den to my local marble and granite yard to be repolished and to have an ogee edge put on. It was in terrible shape: scratches, very dull, worn finish, and a few chips on the straight edge. Now, it looks like new, and the marble place was so excited to get to work with this marble--it's a classic, but rare local stone used in a lot of 18th and early 19th century homes, and it's worth keeping. There's nothing like it (except maybe a very dark bardiglio). Enjoy.

And here is is now (I know some of you may not think it's that different, but it feels like glass now):
