While finishing up the installation of the sunflower stained glass mural I also finished up a project that involved turning a 25 year old bed back frame cabinet thingy into something more useful and updated. The main problem with that the old cabinet is was made of oak. Unprotected oak in a humid environment equals mildew. No thank you. I applied several coats of gloss urethane, but the mildew would form on the urethane. I also didn't like the dated look of the cabinet. So... rather than tossing the cabinet out the door I decided to convert it into something more useful, add updated hardware, and protect the whole thing with mildew resistant paint that matches the rest of our home.
The first thing was to cut the cabinets in half. Next was to add a new top and trim.
All inner and outer surfaces were painted. New hardware was installed.
Up next is the finished installation of the stained glass along with a huge surprise. Please stay tuned...
