Kitchen coming together!

450 views

I have been working on my kitchen cabinetry and must say I am extremely pleased with how they have turned out. Apart from the sink, I have made it all. The wood used for the bench top is basswood - the same as the rest of the cabinet. I stained it using a mix of Mod Podge and various chalk pastels. When doing this technique, I use a craft knife to scrape the chalk pastels, essentially ending up with a small pile of various coloured dust. I then mix it with Mod Podge. Once mixed I brush on to the item I'm staining. I then use a paper towel to remove it. Once dry I varnish - I do this several times, sanding in between. I still have to hinge the cupboards which I'll do today then this will be complete. I won't glue the part of the bench that will go in the bay area until I have the bay walls up. I have another bench to make for the other side of the kitchen, which will house the aga. I'll make a start on that today.

I think I have answered my own question in the comment I left in the Kitchen complete post. I see you have a window in that end wall. I missed this entry somehow along the way. Your cabinets are wonderful. That is a TON of work. Hope your friends and family appreciate how complicated it is to accomplish that and how lovely that job has come out.

Thank you Selkie!  It's forced me to buy a few more tools from my favourite tool shop - Micro-Mark!  Trying to get these things square is extremely difficult!  So much better working with the bass wood rather than the balsa!
