A 4 day cabinet staining job turned into a two week stripping and re-staining process. Thanks to the artistic talent and painstaking work of Shawn, from Apex painting company, our cabinets are now very close to how we had originally envisioned them to be. As I wrote last week, the first attempt at staining was unsuccessful. The stain was left on the cabinets too long and they ended up looking painted, with no visible grain. Although pretty, it was not what we wanted. Thanks to the understanding of the owner of the company, who also agreed that the cabinets needed to be redone, we now have properly stained cabinets.
I am very much looking forward to filling, and then emptying this gorgeous wine cabinet!

It is so nice to have all the paper and plastic off the walls. With the removal of the paper and plastic, the smell dissipated almost immediately. Our home away from home, AKA the pop-up trailer, will be taken away this weekend. Thanks again to Kim Hays for providing us with a smell free escape!
The rest of the remodel should move rather quickly from this point forward. We're looking forward to the granite and floor installation this coming week.
Happy weekend everyone!
