It's Good! Can You See It? It's Good!

Stripped...then the first coats of poly over the new finish

Loving the darker finish.

Two more coats to go!

Before

Before

It's getting there!

Waiting on the granite installation,

then the oven,

the sink, and

the backsplash.

So.  While remodeling our kitchen,

we've removed a small pantry

to help streamline our kitchen

making it more linear.

I've considered salvaging the door to the pantry

to use for wall art

hmmm....??

I've been researching and digging,

Houzz,

Pinterest,

magazines...

contemplating

weighing options

and I'm thinking about doing a wet-distress
painted finish over this oak door

give it some age and character

switch out the brass hardware for wrought iron

a bold hint of age.
Character.

So I may have to tackle this in steps.

I'd even thought about maybe a little crackling

on parts of the finish.

And while browsing,

I found this video.

Within the first 20 seconds or so, I'm laughing out loud.
(Just watching her mouth!)

Oh, how I needed this laugh.

I'm tired of camping in a tiny room.

Washing dishes in the garage.

This dust...the mess...I'm so over it!

But it's winding down.
And a new kitchen is on the horizon!

It's GOOD!

(But I'm not going with turquoise.  Or red.  Nah-uh!)
