*It involves technology (both what's being restored and the restoration techniques), so will put the thread here.
I saw this company featured on The Food Network earlier this week (the "Al Roker on the Road" show, to be exact).

The show featured a refigerator with a V-shaped handle on its front which, when pushed down to the right would open the door to the right, and vice versa. Also, old refrigerators with "Lazy Susan" (swiveling) shelves. Free-standing stoves/ranges with huge drawers for storing bread, utensils, etc. -- and tasseled handles.
The work is fantastic. Retro blues, yellows, original creams and whites, classic red. Some of these antiques sell for as high as $30,000.
Enjoy browsing the site.

Will forward this to a fellow student, who just finished his studies (he's in the metal-business of restoration, I'm in the visual media dept., but whe sat on the same train for years)
We both are of the opinion that, although our studies are called Master in Art Restoration, a lot of machines etc. can be 'art' too. He had/I have endured a lot of flak for taking that standpoint, but I think history will prove us right, eventually (talk about being arrogant, heh...) Sounds like an interesting businessmodel.
