Project Information

This has been the most challenging kitchen job I've done so far. A fairly large kitchen, three vanities, book shelves around the fire place, an island, and washroom cabinets. I loved it.
We learned very quickly that it is easier to spray stain than it is to wipe it on. Duh
Anyway, we have a bunch of cabinets with drawers inside them. That was fun.
It was the installation of this kitchen that seemed to take the longest.
As far as what I bid on this job, it was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too low.

Beeeyooootiful.. Sorry about the low bid… but now you have a great photo of a challenging custom kitchen to add to your portfolio so next time you won't have to be the low bidder. :)

You keep making cabinets like that, you're going to get a reputation! A VERY GOOD reputation.

I used the Grizzly H7667 Professional LVLP Spray Gun 1.5mm

It's a cheaper gun, but for some reason just works better than a lot of others I've used in the past.
