Usually, I post about my creations and ideas.
For a change, I think I'll brag on Adam's creativity.
Here is a little glimpse of our awesome refinished floors that Adam did all by himself!

Through the Looking Glass
This window may not seem like much.
It may look worn out and fragile.
For me, this window is a significant part of my childhood.
This window was in my Great-Grandmother Wood's house.
My cousin grew up in this house and I spent many, many days looking through this window as a child.
To make it usable, I added hooks to the bottom.
It will now have a special place in our new home.
Are you surprised?
These cabinets were for lack of a better word, pitiful when we started.
The previous homeowner had attempted to glaze them, but as perfectionists, Adam and I started over.
Or should I say, I started over.
1. I sanded them using a hand sander.
2. I repainted them a cream color. (Can't remember the exact name of the paint color.)
3. I glazed the creases with a Mocha glaze from Sherwin-Williams.
4. After letting the glaze sit for a few days, I painted 2 coats of polyurethane. (Depending on how often you cook, you should paint more coats.)
We also added new hardware.
We're very happy with the finished product!
