This
week we are finally finishing up the kitchen cabinets. I know this
has been a long project and thank you to those that have hung in
through it all. I am really happy with how it is turning out and I am
also very glad to call it done.
So
this week we started by putting a coat of Matte Mod Podge onto the
faux wood of our cabinets. I only put on one coat at the beginning.
Next
I marked for the cabinet pulls and attached them. I was planning to
use some jewelery head pins but I didn't have enough of any one size
to do the complete kitchen. I think the pins are just as nice, just
slightly smaller. You could use so many things for these. Pins, head
pins, beads, and I am sure some of you will have some more
suggestions too.
I
was really excited to share my newest “glue trick” with you all
this week. I came across this one a while back watching a model
railroad scenery building tutorial on YouTube. As soon as I saw it I
knew I had to do some experimenting so I could share it her. It is
amazing how well something as simple as a dusting of baking soda
makes the super glue set up immediately and I am fairly certain the
bond is stronger too. I will probably do a full video on the
technique in the future after I do some more experimenting. I think
this will be very useful for dollhouse crafting.
The
shelf in the corner was planned from the beginning although I almost
decided to leave it out. I am so glad I did add it. I love how it
looks in that little corner area. I can't wait to make/find something
to put there.
