There are twelve doors in this three bedroom ranch…twelve doors to be sanded, painted…dried and painted two more times for a rich white color. This process took days. We are forever grateful for my dad having three choices of electric sanders to make the task way easier than the cabinet doors, which I sanded byContinue reading “The Doors…The Trim”

This room was used as a bedroom, but has pocket doors connecting it to the kitchen and hallway as a dining room or office.

We even decided to ditch the mini blinds and top trim. Cabinet doors, drawers and hardware were the first to be taken out before we startedContinue reading “Kitchen Renovation”
