IMG_2669This weekend Pat finished her project or glazing the cabinets, and she did a great job.  Stand up and take a bow.

Saturday we (Pat)  finished the glaze while I did some communications work and tidied up some previous projects.  I also reinstalled all of the hinges on the doors and the drawer pulls and knows on the cabinet doors.

Sunday after coffee and breakfast we began the process of reinstalling the doors, starting with the 3 doors where I installed glass, then on to the other 12 doors and 15 drawer fronts, by lunch we were done.

IMG_0246Next was to install the wine rack fabricated in Richmond, which need a bit of modification because I failed to measure the cabinet and wall distance from top to bottom, it actually ran out about ¼-inch but that was an easy fix here at the Cottage.

Several cabinet doors with there glaze completed.

We also came up with the idea of paining the cheap gold looking kitchen hardware in a pewter finish — we will see how it survives, this was a $6 expense vs about $60 for new hardware.
