My dining room furniture is Harden and I use their furniture cream on my cherry kitchen cabinets. It cleans and polishes and I only need to do it twice a year. My cabinet maker thinks it's the same as Guardsman's products.

Very true, kfhl - many air fresheners work by using nasal anesthetics to keep you from smelling whatever you're trying to cover up. Now that I have very few things that are chemically scented in the house, walking past the aisle of air fresheners actually burns my nose. We use natural beeswax candles if we want to use one - but that's usually saved for power outages. As far as the free and clear products are concerned...you can't be certain that it is safe for allergy sufferers. My husband is actually allergic to many components of commercially produced free/clear products - including a chemical that is frequently added to such products to 'remove' the other strong smells in the product to create a 'fragrance free' item - in lieu of adding a 'fragrance'.

Hi Victoria! Our neighbor is in the biz, so he ordered our doors from his source - which escapes me at the moment. But I would not hesitate to order from Barker or Scheers as I've read good things about both companies on this forum. We went with the traditional Shaker style - which is also the least expensive! Ours are paint grade Maple with MDF panels. We purchased This Tool Force Spray Gun from Amazon. I did a lot of research and I liked this one best. I could not believe how inexpensive it is! It comes with 2 nozzles which I think is important, as we will probably need the larger size for our paint. We choose Cabinet Coat paint which is now owned by Benjamin Moore. The guy at the paint store recommended this because it will give the strong, smooth finish that I want and will not yellow like BM's Advance which is also a very good paint. If you Google it, you will only find positive reviews on Cabinet Coat. I know there will be a learning curve with the sprayer, but I'm confident we can handle it. I did purchase ”Spray Finishing Made Simple” and found the DVD that came with it invaluable. So, we have everything now - the doors & drawers, the spray gun, and the paint picked out. We will be doing Cabinet Coat tinted to White Dove. We just need to choose the primer and pick the day to start. This was suppose to be my job because DH doesn't like to paint, but I work full time and he is recently retired, as well as very skilled, so it may just become his job. Either way, it should happen soon and I will definitely post our results. Victoria, I have to say again - after seeing the Bath Cabinet your DH did, I'm sure he would be able to do all of this with minimal trouble. I've not yet shown my DH what our next Bath Cabinet is going to look like - but I have it bookmarked. ;-) Jeri

Oh that would be fun. I made a tutorial for bread making and posted the "still" pics on my photobucket. It was step by step. I'll definitely have to look into this. Thank you c
