MYSTERY REDO cabinet
I lost my comments box on 2 posts earlier this week due to a new feature added by blogger.
I`ve been running around doing some fixes and now they are back.
Truth is I am very sad I missed out on all those comments so I have re posted
both write ups: the pink chandelier and our snow pictures so ppl can comment in the future.
Now for todays mystery ...
This is a redo of a redo, maybe those of you who have been here before
can guess which one it is before we get to the end?
She did not sell in her first disguise but she has done her fair share
of being used for different displays.
Everyone who met her always touched her and commented on her beauty.
She use to have a silky smooth bright finish but now
Ive added an aged feel to her dress.
Shes the same girl on the inside just with a new do!
Any guesses yet?
I created new curves and new shapes with some picture molding and
some creative placement of two broken chair arms.
I cut out the front panels and removed the glass doors.
New paint color and finish, creative hardware mixing and matching
with appliques, shes a made over woman.
Its my original sleeping beauty makeover that can be seen here.
I even tried to find the space to keep her, like I magically found a new room or something.
Perfect for a nursery or girls room.
Heaven forbid some of you ladies would love it in your own boudoir.

BITS AND PIECES nightstand cabinet details
I get a large amount of comments suggesting
I must have the vision of each project in my head before I start.
This is NOT the case.
When I am in the mits of a building project there is a lot of sitting around and staring.
That doesnt sound quite right does it?
I sit back and look at what I have chosen to work with that day.
I look at each line, surface, and element on its own.
I suppose it is really shapes I see it my head.
How I want the shapes to be and figure out what I might have to create that look.
I started this project knowing I wanted the open space in the nightstands to have doors.
So off I go searching with a tape measure looking for something that might work.
What I found was the sliding panels that use to be part of this bookshelf,
but I used them sideways from their original install.
Yes ... thats the same shelf I showed you yesterday.
Told you then it was a long story.
Now that I had fun and interesting doors I had to trim
the boring flat drawer faces to have more character.
I have used this same trim on several different projects.
You can see another set of drawers I used it on here
and my bucket of it here.
With the original decoration on the door it only made sense
to mimic the look on the drawer face with the same shape, so I added the oval pull.
Im off to paint another bathroom vanity today so when I can find a bit more
time I will talk about more elements of the process and this cabinet.
Id love it if you would all stop into the Customers page
and take a peek at the newest photo and comment regarding their new vanity.

Kitchen cabinet project Grand Rapids Ohio
Here are some pics of a kitchen installation that has been keeping me busy for the last week. The owners had some water damage, and ended up getting a new floor and new cabinets. I was hired for the installation of the cabinets (uppers, lowers, end panels, toe kick, and hardware). I must say that I like working with higher end cabinets than the cheapy ones - it makes a big difference in the installation process. You get what you pay for!
Now is the time for the granite countertop guys to do their thing...
