Unfortunately I don’t have any before pictures because stripping them was so messy I did not have my phone near me. We bought a 1905 four square last year with lots of dark trim/doors throughout. The upstairs doors had been painted, and I know there is debate about stain grade versus paint grade doors, but when I stripped the doors they were all originally stained/shellaced for the bottom layer. It was been a long process and lots of YouTube videos and dental tools to get them back to their original color and restore the hardware! So happy with the results!
