Scherr's Cabinets...what species wood?
Comments (7)First, ask Scherrs about the up charge unless you have a real need for pain. The cost of the wood goes DOWN and the cost of finishing goes up so the add-on price may not be as much as you'd think. Personally, I would tend to leave the cabinets plain cream, pale green or even black without glaze. Maybe gray or red if you've got real guts and want to bring home 87 variants until you find the right one. Again, just personal opinion but I'm just not liking the concept of stark white with the floor that shows as the toe kick in one of your photos. It's easy to become trapped when thinking about what looks good for each thing individually and end up with them competing for attention - detracting from the finished look. I would be tempted towards a glaze too on painted cabinets in the abstract, but feel that in your kitchen, it would compete with the floor....See MoreHelp identifying type of wood
Comments (21)If you are going to strip and stain you can get stains that have a color other than shades of brown. There is also greys, reds, blues. They are transparent also so the grain shows. If you are concerned about the stain being evenly absorbed there are also wood conditioners that can be used to help that, it's used a lot on pines or other wood that may take stains unevenly. Look to see if you behave a wood workers store that carry those products and have knowledgeable people. I remember your posts about you being concerned about the purpleish color tiles. Did you decide to "love them"?...See MoreWhat species wood for a pergola mimics this shade?
Comments (4)It could be pine or possibly cedar. I'm not sure. Exotic hardwoods like ipe and cumaru are used all the time for pergolas. In fact, I'd say without reservation that they are the best woods for such projects. Here's an ipe pergola: And one in cumaru:...See MoreWhat kind of wood is this and what's the best way to clean it?
Comments (8)Oak floor.....and the statement about vinegar "wearing away the finish" depends on the finish. shellac probably will...solvent based poly won't be harmed by a weak vinegar solution and it will remove some dirt. I have lived with wood floors all my life. Varnish and paste wax when I was a kid, Had Bruce prefinished floors in the first house which had to be paste waxed every 6 months....and one drop of water left too long left a black mark....then on to oak with a shellac finish which wore easily....and finally to oil based poly. best yet! Oh and i am talking about a long time frame, I am 84....See MoreRelated Professionals
