I thought I would post a few pictures of my first restoration. I think it turned out pretty well thanks to all the help I received on the Phorum. For the cabinet restoration I went with Dark walnut on the outside and medium on the face. I think that was the way they originally looked, but I wasn't sure. Either way, I liked the look in the end.

I also wanted to get some advice on the escutcheon. I think this one is made out of brass, at least it looks like brass under the paint. You can see that there is some missing in the picture. I wondered what you guys did with them. Are they normally shined up, or did they originally have some sort of paint on them? I may just leave this one as is.
