Lynda's Home Redemption

While I am waiting for the temperature to rise a bit so that I can sand in the garage without freezing, I have been looking through inspiration pics and finally found the look I am going to go for with my kitchen cabinets.

Why am I creating all this work for myself? My pictured kitchen cabinets are BORING! I also have pictured the moulds I am going to use, although I might shop online for a better center mould.

Also looking forward to trying the trick I learned with a shop vac and sander! Praying for a rise in the temps!

It's been a while! I've missed being creative, so I've decided to start posting on here again from time to time. As of right now, I'm not refinishing any furniture besides my own, but maybe that will change.

I've got a bunch of home projects coming up, so I'll share them on this page. Follow along for ideas, tips, and tricks! My next project is painting my kitchen cabinets followed by making a herringbone backsplash using a 3D stencil, Saltwash, chalk paint, and Wise Owl's One Hour Enamel.

Possible future projects include a second pallet wall (first one that we worked on before Christmas pictured below), turning our old dining table into a farmhouse-style table, turning a buffet into 2 end tables, painting a piano and adding transfers, making wall paneling look like white washed barnwood, beautifying drop ceiling panels, making appliques to add to cabinets and furniture, and more!

My 18-year-old son, Eli, is a trooper helping me out today since my husband can't.

Added some new items to my collection!

I need help making a decision! I will be a vendor at the Greater Pittsburgh Arts & Crafts Holiday Spectacular this weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). I only have room for 1 large piece. Which of these 2 should I take? Please comment below!

I must say that this is one of my favorite makeovers I've done in the past 6 years.

Hopefully someone at Autumn Glory today loves it as much as I do! 🙂

Working on some larger projects for the Autumn Glory Festival at Deep Creek next weekend.

So far, this is just partial progress as I've only gotten the primer applied, but I am so excited about how Wise Owl's water-based glaze turned out on this. Gorgeous with no vomit-inducing chemical smells!
