Some people swear by pressing them into the grout if they come off while grouting. You could do that, and then if they come out of the grout glue them in to the hole that was made for them. If gluing them on before grouting I like E-6000, It holds well. You can mask with tape to keep grout out of that area. Oh, and my personal experience, some metalic beads dont react well with grout at all, it oxidizes them, so it could do that to foil backed beads. you might seal the back with nail polish or something, or let the grout set up, press the beads in to make a hole, remove and go back later and glue it in after the grout sets. Tons of options, LOL. arent you glad you asked?

kachme7, we have sat down at length with the Sherwin Williams color fan deck and have determined that a very close match to Conestoga's Crystal White is Sherwin Williams SW7002 (Downy White). Ben Moore or other suppliers may have some close matches too, but we have not sat down with their color palette yet. Downy White SW7002 seemed to be almost spot on in most lighting we looked at. Now, it bears mentioning that these are what we (cabinetjoint.com, not Conestoga) determined were close matches. Conestoga will not guarantee their material matches Downy White in any way. I would think it would be very dangerous to put Conestoga finished product on cabinet boxes done with SW's finish as the chemistry (and therefore the aging process) will be very different and you may end up with very different looks after a few months/years as Latex/oil based paints from Sherwin Williams will age and mellow in very different ways than Conestoga's Catalyzed Conversion Varnish. I would suggest perhaps refacing the boxes with Conestoga finished veneers or refacing molding OR buy all your product unfinished and then finish it all yourself to ensure a good match among all the components. Also remember that Conestoga is laying their coatings down with a sprayer whereas you may be considering brush applied materials to use on your boxes? Brush applied finishes will change the sheen and texture vs spray applied and therefore the color can be thrown off, so putting Conestoga finished doors on your home-finished boxes may result in a very different look, even if the colors of the materials are almost spot on. Just some things to be mindful of! Let me know if we can help in any way.

If you don't have glass shelves you'll need lights under each self. Otherwise the top shelf will be lit and will block any light getting to the rest of the cabinet. My glass cabinets came with wooden shelves and we special ordered glass ones from a local glass shop, which were delivered a few weeks later. The lighting looked pretty bad until we got the glass shelves in.

I would collect handmade art pottery (or Native American pots, which I actually do collect) and display a single piece on each shelf. Make sure that whatever you display there is sizable enough to create an impact, otherwise it can just look cluttered.
