Slow progress on the kitchen cabinet refinishing
I’d like to write a post that says I’ve made some unbelievable progress on the last section of kitchen cabinets that we’ve been working on. We started this project early this year, in late January if I remember correctly. It’s eventually going to be a full cabinet refinishing tutorial with pictures, products, etc. At this point I’m gathering up and editing the pictures we’ve taken and I’m writing my notes for the tutorial. There will be formulas for a great home made antique glaze, the products we used for preparing, cleaning, and finishing the cabinets, and even our fun experiment with stripping off six layers of paint on our test door (that was fun.)
Another thing that I thought would be helpful to share some of the sources for our new hardware, paint, and other supplies. Then there will be more parts to the story when I add indirect lighting above the cabinets and finish off the decorative iron accent piece above the sink that spans two sections of upper cabinets. We’re pretty much changing everything except the appliances and the countertops in this kitchen remodel. We already swapped out the old, leaky faucet. The new one is more stylish and has a nice sprayer attachment. There was a little trouble installing it, but I’ll cover that in another post in more detail.
Well, if you’re doing a kitchen remodel, or cabinet refinishing project, good luck! I know it’s a lot of hard work…but we’re about 75% done on the cabinets ourselves, and it makes such a huge difference that it’s definitely worth the effort. Cheers!
