What do the insides of your cabinets look like?
Comments (16)Thanks everyone for the advice. I didn't mean to suggest that he did not sand the insides at all, because you can tell it has been sanded. It just isn't sealed with anything. It appears to be just sanded plywood. I agree with the person who stated that the HD or Lowes cabinets seem better than what I am dealing with. I have thought the same thing I went there today and he said in all the cabinets he has ever done through the years, he has only been asked to finish the insides of one set. He said we could stain it if WE wanted to but most people don't bother :/ I knew I moved to the sticks, BUT good greif :/ He is in the process of changing a few things on the cabinets as we speak. He will be removing the stiles on the top and bottom of the cabinet you all saw. That will make them a little more functional anyway. He is changing a few drawers, not all. I think he is trying to make me happier, anyway. As to why he did them the way he did in the first place, I guess I will never know. I guess I will look into some of your suggestions for the inside. I am just so tired of dealing with the man at this point. Thanks guys!...See MoreWhat do your stained or natural wood cabinets look like?
Comments (38)I just saw this. I have to tell you, stained cabinets never spoke to me. I'd come across a painted kitchen and "ooOOOoooooo," I'd softly quiver. ("quiver?" OMG. I said "quiver.") Anyway, that was until the day I stripped some vintage, beaded inset cabinets down to bare oak. Holy moly were they pretty. I antiqued them with a gray stain, then 2 different tones of brown to reach an incredible finish. Then, I stripped some of those horrible dark red/black cherry cabinets, again, down to bare wood. So absolutely beautiful. I've actually done the same finish now on 4 antique doors, too. LOVE IT. Now I have such a mix of wood in my kitchen it probably looks stupid, but I call it "eclectic." (No, it's not nice just because I did it. It's just that I can't decide now what to do!) But I don't want to repaint them. My point in all this? I love the pictures this question is provided. Thanks for asking. Also, don't be shy about Citristripping the finish off your cabs and restaining. It's a PIA, but incredibly do-able in place with Citristrip. Messy, but no longer flesh-eating. Just a thought....See MoreBaking sheets.....your preferred brand?
Comments (23)No, they are very pared down and simple --- restaurant type I believe. Oh btw do not get a full sheet. I have a pretty large oven on my french range and so I thought it would be ok, but they are like industrial size. The half sheet is good, and the qtr sheets I use all the time. I just had a lot of sorry looking baking sheets and wanted all new. Happy with these basic kitchen workhorses....See MoreShow me your glass cabinets...what do they look like when in use
Comments (25)We decided to put some glass-fronted cabinets in the kitchen, but not right near the stove. Normally I keep a lot of utilitarian things near the stove and my prettier things, such as handmade pottery dishes and pretty glassware, are on another wall / hutch-style area. The things in the glass-fronted cabinets are still utilitarian because we use them almost everyday, but they are pretty, so I like putting them in a glass cab. Since a stove area is already a busy work zone, my personal opinion, for me, is that I would not like my glass-front cabs to be there. It's already a busy work zone, and adding glass cabs would make it more busy visually. As far as lighting. I wanted lighting in the glass cabinets, but if you have solid shelves with an LED light shining down form the top, the light is blocked by the uppermost shelf and doesn't illuminate all the way down. If you have glass shelves, you see the greenish edge of the glass (and I personally don't care for that). So what we came up with was to create a wooden "frame" in the dimensions of a regular shelf and then the glass company supplied the glass inserts for that. So when I am looking at the glass-fronted cabinet I am not looking at a raw/green/glass edge (I am looking at a wooden edge), and the light goes all the way down. Also, the glass fronts have no dividers, so I can adjust the shelves however I want and don't have to worry about lining up the shelves with any dividers....See Moreannie1992
