The beginning of the project required a complete overhaul of the electrical system and main WC, as well as building a kitchen into an empty room that was left to us with only an asbestos tile floor and oversized bird cage.  The house was built in 1905 and sits on a quiet city street one block long. She is quite tall, our girl, and begged us to stay and give her care when we first entered her large, wooden double front doors. To my delight many of the original features of the house were still intact; the brass door hardware with oval knobs, the hinged transom windows over each of the bedroom doors, the six window seats, most of the hardwood floors, and the cast iron heating grates and acorn-style hooks lining all of the closets. The main WC also still held a perfect vintage cast iron clawfoot tub and [sink](https://www.instagram.com/p/BCHqgjHKQdO/?taken-by=lyricbird3), both of which I refused to replace, and worked to restore back to their early grandeur.    ![Schoolhouse Electric Mid Century Knob, Card File Pull, and various others ](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/hs-fs/hubfs/schoolhouse2.jpg?width=1111&name=schoolhouse2.jpg "Schoolhouse Electric Mid Century Knob, Card File Pull, and various others ") I have been in design heaven searching for the perfect finds to complement our old beauty of a house, and one resource that never disappoints is [Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co](http://www.apple.com). We chose their solid brass hardware to adorn our custom built kitchen cabinets and restored butler’s pantry, and almost two years into our labor of love they remain some of my most admired pieces in the house. A designer favorite, I had to wait for their arrival for a few additional weeks, but once received and while holding the beautiful and shiny, weighty nuggets in my hands, I knew that they were, without a doubt, the perfect jewelry for our home.  Schoolhouse Electric’s hardware is handcrafted in the USA, with our particular pieces made of solid brass. We chose the [Card File Pull](https://www.schoolhouse.com/collections/drawer-pulls/products/card-file-pull-natural-brass) for our drawers, and the [Mid Century Knob](https://www.schoolhouse.com/collections/cabinet-knobs/products/mid-century-knob-natural-brass) for our doors.  Lotuff’s creative director, Lindy, has also discovered Schoolhouse Electric while in the midst of her present house renovation, and chose the [Berlin Door Set with Cylinder Knob](https://www.schoolhouse.com/collections/small-backplate-door-sets-modern/products/berlin-door-set-with-cylinder-knob-satin-brass) for her interior doors. Although Lindy and I are big fans of the brass, the pieces are available in other finishes as well. Schoolhouse Electric’s hardware is a collection of modern yet classic beauties that will complement any interior space. ### Subscribe to Our Blog ### Leave a Comment ### Posts by Topic - [12 Days of Gifting (12)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/12-days-of-gifting) - [A Lotuff Life (3)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/a-lotuff-life) - [Gift Guides (2)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/gift-guides) - [Gifts with Personality (7)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/gifts-with-personality) - [Making the Best (116)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/making-the-best) - [Meet the Team (13)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/meet-the-team) - [The Essentials (112)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/the-essentials) - [The Weekender (145)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/the-weekender) - [Travel Guide (76)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/travel-guide) ### Popular Posts ### Blog Archive - [May 2017 (20)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/05) - [October 2016 (18)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/10) - [March 2017 (18)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/03) - [August 2018 (18)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/08) - [August 2016 (17)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/08) - [April 2018 (17)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/04) - [May 2018 (17)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/05) - [October 2018 (17)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/10) - [September 2016 (16)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/09) - [November 2016 (16)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/11) - [April 2017 (16)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/04) - [June 2017 (16)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/06) - [March 2018 (16)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/03) - [July 2018 (16)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/07) - [February 2018 (15)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/02) - [July 2017 (14)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/07) - [June 2018 (14)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/06) - [September 2018 (14)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/09) - [March 2019 (14)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/03) - [November 2017 (13)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/11) - [November 2018 (13)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/11) - [December 2019 (13)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/12) - [February 2017 (12)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/02) - [August 2017 (12)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/08) - [January 2018 (12)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/01) - [September 2017 (11)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/09) - [October 2017 (11)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/10) - [April 2019 (10)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/04) - [June 2016 (9)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/06) - [December 2017 (9)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/12) - [December 2016 (8)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/12) - [January 2017 (8)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2017/01) - [August 2019 (8)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/08) - [December 2018 (7)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2018/12) - [May 2019 (7)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/05) - [July 2019 (6)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/07) - [September 2019 (6)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/09) - [June 2019 (5)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/06) - [October 2019 (5)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/10) - [November 2019 (5)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/11) - [January 2019 (4)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/01) - [February 2019 (4)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2019/02) - [September 2015 (3)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2015/09) - [July 2016 (3)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/07) - [May 2016 (2)](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/archive/2016/05) [Contact](https://lotuffleather.com/pages/contact) [About](https://lotuffleather.com/pages/our-story) [Stockists](https://lotuffleather.com/pages/stockists) [Terms & Conditions](https://lotuffleather.com/pages/terms-and-conditions) [Customer Service](https://lotuffleather.com/pages/customer-service) [Sitemap](https://lotuffleather.com/pages/sitemap) ![](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/hubfs/Lotuff%20Logo/logo.svg "logo.svg") [EMAIL US](mailto:info@lotuffleather.com) [  Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/lotuffleather/) [[fa icon="twitter"] Twitter ](https://twitter.com/LotuffLeather) [[fa icon="facebook"] Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/LotuffLeather) [[fa icon="pinterest"] Pinterest ](https://www.pinterest.com/lotuffleather/) 1 Sims Ave, Providence, RI [info@lotuffleather.com](mailto:info@lotuffleather.com) [888 763 2247](tel:18887632247) © 2026 Lotuff Leather.
