Comments (9)I've used various brands and my favorite is Elmer's Wood Putty in the tub. Stuff is very durable. Our cabs are 30+ years old and before I painted I had to fill in a spot on where the oak laminate had worn off from years of water running down the counter at the sink. It was in a spot that came to a point. I built it up with the putty, even shaping the corner/point with it. Leveled as best I could, then sanded flush when dry. You can't even tell that the 'corner' in the wood design is actually putty. Painted it 3 yrs ago, wiping, etc. has not compromised it at all. It's good stuff!...See MoreDoes anyone know what this type cabinet door might be called?
Comments (10)My plans are a little up in the air, but we had to start because of a mold issue. I'm 100% sure I want to move the refrigerator and freezer to that wall, and will move the unit with the deep drawers to the other side. Most of the cabinets were built for the house mid 1980's and we had a couple of things added mid 1990's, but no doors made. We haven't been able to find anyone to make those doors. Dh & I have discussed pulling out the pantry at the far end and building one that goes to the ceiling. The way it is now, the pantry is about 5' tall and the cabinet above it set back about 10 inches. Just enough that I can't reach the doors or get anything out without a step ladder. We can reuse the lower doors but need to have upper doors built. I also want to add a spice pullout on that wall with the base cabinets, and I'm not sure whether to try to get a raised panel that small or just go with the same thing as the drawer fronts. That would be much easier, but I'm not sure how it would look. I'm going to either sand or strip the cabinets and stain darker. The finish is beginning to peel on doors with a lot of use. I'd really like to make it look a little more country, but I'm not sure those doors will go with that look. Here's a link to my photobucket album with the few pictures I have so far. Kitchen Remodel Samantha, I just did a search on Mediterranean kitchens and found a really great inspiration picture. It looks like Mediterranean and Tuscan are very similar. Christine, I'm kind of anal about symmetry also, but it's not the alternating panels that bother me about this, but that some of them are larger than others. It wouldn't be as noticeable if they were single panels. live wire oak, the countertop is the hardest part for me. I keep going back and forth on what I like and what is practical. That will be last and hopefully by then I can make a decision....See MoreDoes anyone know what wood color stain this is?
Comments (3)Are you asking about the tops of the bar stools in that post? If you look at the third photo, which shows one top pretty clearly, you can see at the top, it is pretty dark, and then gets much lighter as you get closer to the near edge of the top - so it is not just one color. If you are asking for a stain to match that wood because there is a small scratch, your best bet is to buy a wood colored marker - markers - the link is to a set , here is another set with a slightly different colors https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rejuvenate-Wood-Furniture-and-Floor-Repair-Markers-RJ6WM/202676224 While it won't be an exact match, a marker that is slightly lighter usually does a good job hiding the scratch. If you are trying to stain bare wood ( either raw, or originally finished but stripped and sanded ) the type of wood you have will play a role - a stain applied to maple will look different than that same stain applied to pine, cherry or walnut. In that case, if there is a Woodcraft store near you, they usually have an extensive set of dyes and stains, you could take you phone and open up the facebook page in the store and let them help you out....See Moreswidz
