I hear ya Wendy but the operative word here is "old". My house was rental property for years before I bought it. The woodwork was never taken care of and they would just slap some more shellac on it. There were huge drips of shallac, tons of alligatoring and the window sills had deep gouges and black stains where they had plants on it. It would have been a major-major project to refinish them all. I'm just thankful that my doors could stay the two tone finish. I love those.
Besides, I love how the white updates my house and makes it look fresh.
