You aren't altering a piece of American history. I have a dilemma in my shop this week because I have a Civil War era solid cherry drop leaf table with the top covered with cigarette burns and black rings. I know it won't sell with its time worn surface. But, I can't get myself to sand it. I think your pie safe will be darling painted. I think I'd distress the tin a bit....that's my two cents from a new reader who came over when I read about your keeping it real saga.

But we're tough old birds, aren't we? I like it better painted. And hey, it belongs to you. You can do anything you want with it. I'm glad some of us are taking steps to "keeping it real" on the reality scale.

But after seeing the lighter look, I like it. Less primitive looking. I do most of my posts in real time. Sometimes I think I might be too real. I will look at a pic and see a stray shoe or tea towel. I just figure you all know that we actually live in our house! Ha!
