I am done with the cabinets!
It took FOREVER to finish sanding and staining and sealing the cabinet doors. I had to work on them three or four at a time with a week or two in between because Jan and Feb have been SO busy for me! This post has taken two or three attempts to finally publish!
I wish the counter tops and floors were done for the full effect, but whatcha gonna do with limited funds and time!?!
I think everything came out really well, however, the sections below the stove did not come out as evenly as I would have hoped. I think my drawers were made from a different kind of wood as my cabinet doors, and on top of that I think they were all made from fake woods while the base cabinets were actually real. This made for some funny differences in textures and "character" lines. I'm thinking in another year or two I will probably end up doing a antique white paint job over the whole lot. For now, though, I will enjoy my hard work!
I had to do four or five layers of polyurethane on top of the finish to get the finish the way I wanted.
Hope ya like them!
