That’s right. It’s Saturday night and I’m just finished with another of the home improvement projects. This one really is a nice one, though. I started with two shelves and a library table. Together they looked like this:
So earlier I had bought some unfinished oak faced cabinets at Menards and I’ve been applying urethane and sanding between coats. Also, I’ve painted the exposed parts of the bottoms blue (left over from the house trim) and I’ve also had to buy some oak 1×4 lumber and rip it into two “halves” so that I get the proper spacing. I have 15 1/4 ” deep and 57 1/2 ” long to fill with cabinets. The countertop I ordered through my sister-in-law (thanks, Sue!) as she works at a place that manufactures kitchen and custom countertops. I also had to buy a little bit of oak veneer plywood to cover the open face of the lower cabinet. Here’s the result:
I like the way it turned out, and more importantly, so does KC. I’ve still got some trim to run and I’ll probably end up repainting the wall to cover up where the old phone plug was. Also, I’ve got to put on the door handles. But I’m done with the hardest part. Whaddya think?
