painting over honey oak cabinets-Michael are you out there??
Comments (4)I had gotten permission from Michael some time ago to put his instructions up on SearchWarp. Due to organization and formatting issues, I moved it to Squidoo. Had to change the layout a bit to better accommodate Squidoo's format, but it's the same info. Here is a link that might be useful: Michael's Cabinet How-To...See Morenew floor under fridge?
Comments (8)oruboris--the fridge cannot be lowered anymore--it's as low as it can go already :) We do have overlay doors, and were thinking we might have to modify it somehow, no matter what we do, but I'm not sure that we will be able to get all that much more from it... buehl--yes, we will remove the old floor, but it is very thin. As much as I'd like to do the floor up to the fridge, that would make moving the fridge out impossible! Lately, I have been leaning toward cork flooring, in alternating shades of brown, in a checkerboard pattern, but my husband thinks that is not a good "neutral" floor for prospective buyers. Any thoughts? Here is a link that might be useful: country living cork checkerboard floor...See MorePainting honey oak cabinets??????
Comments (30)I'm going to bug you again about your other corner cab. I don't see much in that cabinet. It looks like decorative dishes. You could run shelves in place of that cabinet too. Now your window is wide open and your main prep area between sink and stove no longer has that hulking box overhead. You could stop there, but I'd change the cabinets on that wall. You could add 12-15" matching cabinets on the sides of the MW hood. I did a price check at Barker Cabinets. A 12"w x 30"h Shaker cabinet in paint grade alder with MDF center panel is $132. End panels, which you'll need two of, are $60. The two door hood cabinet is $217. They do have the contemporary hood cabinet that flips up, but they don't have the hinges that hold it open, but that style would be cool for your kitchen. Or you could get oak cabs to match the lowers and gel stain them. You might get by with just one new 12" upper cabinet and new doors to match the other uppers in that case. You would have to pay shipping from Oregon, so you may find a closer place like Scherr's or Conestoga Cabinets. All make high quality cabinets and doors. Or try a local cabinet maker. IMO it's a small investment for a big impact....See MorePainting honey oak cabinets-labeling?
