Refreshing panelling
January 19, 2005
The house that we are buying has original mahogany in the LR, utility room, and kitchen. Is there any way to even out the coloring, or should I just shop for some picture frames to match the darkened patches from the previous owner's display? :) I confess that I like the warm gold tones of the faded panels more than the darker wood.

some light sanding with a sheet finishing sander and 120 grain paper usually does wonder. It is important not to overdo it. After the sanding the paneling will appear dull. Waxing takes care of that.
