my kitchen

A beautiful looking kitchen. I’m just starting on mine for our home In Delaware. I haven’t started posting any of the blogs yet on construction.

A very nice job. I notice you said ex-wife. Are you still part owner of this creation.

I am full owner. She couldn’t afford to have the mortgage, so I took it on. She figured it would be best if I forclosed rather then her. LOL. She just took everything else. Literally. But, it is a good thing that I had been making pieces throughout our marriage. Pretty much refurnished it when she left. hehe. I had to buy some beds, employee gave me a couch, and a customer gave me a $7,000 dining room set. (completely equiped with 6 chairs, table with leaves, China cabinet, and buffet. Very nice freeby indeed) We did their entire house. Their project is absolutely beautiful and I would love to share pics. However, they didn’t let us take them because it was clustered and they wanted to get professional pictures. I have yet to see any.
Thanks for the comment and I can’t wait to see your finished kitchen.

Awesome kitchen. It looks well laid out and functional, as well as beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful, as usual!

This is a beautiful kitchen. As usual you did a wonderful job on the details- the crown, overall design and valence.

Thanks for sharing. This is a job that speaks volumes about your level of craftsmanship.

Great job!

Thanks for the post

Your kitchen is great. I like the wide crown you used. It really helps the look. And your wife did good on the valance. It helps set off the whole kitchen.

That’s a really nice looking kitchen. I am about to get started on mine and I was planning on using alder with a stain that’s pretty close to what you used. You’re saying in your comments you don’t use the varathane stain anymore, any particular reason? What would you recommend instead ? Thanks.

The varathane product is fine so long as you use varathane finishes for compatablility purposes. I make my own stains now and use Target shellac and waterborne lacquer for finish. Thanks for the comments.

Excellent work! I like the warmth of the room, and the details of raised panels and crown molding. Thanks for posting.
