Great entries! They all look great, and like a lot of work. Very creative webspinner, with the flamingo "nite light".

We had fun doing it, and learned a lot as we went.

Sounds fun!
Here's a few pictures from our shell-on (except for that 5 minutes when it wasn't) restoration.
front gaucho from two slightly different angles:
kitchen:
Surprisingly, these two pictures don't look that different. I can assure you they ARE: latex paint scraped, new Zolatone applied, cabinets refinished... and the list goes on.
