Kitchen coming together!
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.
