Watch as we bring this old cast iron utility sink back to life! What started as a rust-covered relic from a forgotten corner of the workshop has been transformed into a stunning, fully refinished centerpiece. We stripped years of grime, repaired the enamel, and gave the base a bold, fresh coat of deep green. The results speak for themselves. This kind of restoration is what we live for — saving old pieces with good bones and giving them a new life with modern durability. Whether you’re rehabbing a vintage kitchen or just love old house magic, this is one transformation you don’t want to miss. 🔧 Steps shown in the video: • Full degrease & rust removal • Surface prep & sanding • Enamel refinishing and curing • Custom base repaint in heritage green • Final polish & ready for install Follow for more restorations like this — Old House Adam style. #SinkRestoration #OldHouseRevival #BeforeAndAfter #VintageVibes #CastIronSink #RestorationProject #OldHouseLove
This home was days away from demolition… now it has four one-of-a-kind kitchens that turned it into a showstopper. Each one reflects a different era and vibe — which is your favorite? 1. Sunny Yellow Charm – Warm, welcoming, and full of vintage personality. 2. Retro Blue 50s – Pops of nostalgia with bold color and chrome flair. 3. Burgundy 1920s Revival – Rich, moody tones and timeless details. 4. Checkered Neutral Classic – Understated elegance with a playful twist. Comment your favorite below — we’re still torn between the burgundy and the checkered!

“How I buy historic homes off the city’s demolition list and turn them into gems: 1. Find the Demo List – Call your local code enforcement or planning department. 2. Do a Walkthrough – Get permission to tour the property and assess condition. 3. Make Your Pitch – Offer to save the home and present your renovation plan. 4. Negotiate Terms – Many cities will sell for $1 or forgive liens if you restore it. 5. Pull Permits & Get to Work – You usually have a deadline to finish. These houses are at risk — but with a vision and a plan, you can save history and build equity at the same time. @benkoman
I just picked up another old house to bring back to life. The other side is much worse and we have tons of structural issues. Let me know if you want more info on how I get financing and structure these deals. I’m very learned a lot the past 5 years and would love to share if that’s something people want
