This china cabinet was found along side of the road on our way to church. Steven cut it down to lower it. I stained the surface to darken it. We decided to build it in half way.
China Cabinet between Dining Room and Living Room
Dining Room
Dining room table refurbish
Steven got a dining room table with claw feet at Goodwill for a dollar. I scraped off paint and rubbed it down with steel wool and denatured alcohol. I was amazed at the results! I will put a coat of shellack on it to further smooth out the finish. We have needlepoint chairs purchased at the ReStore.
Dining Room closets sheet rocked and painted.
The two dining room closets have been sheet rocked and painted.
More Trim
Staining old door jams and door stops. The jambs are wider than needed so we will need to rip them down and then restain.
Sanding and staining door trim
We are reusing the original trim, much of which had been painted. I had earlier scraped off much of the paint and now I am sanding and staining.
Mudding the closets
Steven finished mudding the closets. Now to let them dry for sanding.
Dining Room Closets
The dining room closets (coat and pantry) are drywalled and ready for mudding.
New pantry framing
Steven framed the pantry closet.
Dining Room Table
When we organized and cleared the north porch, Steven brought in the parts for the dining room table. It is lying on a piece of foam to prevent scratching. I is ready to be put back together. Notice the wonderful carving and claw feet.
Tung oil celebration
Steven was excited to start the tung oil application. We were able to applied one coat before Steven started to hurt. . I poured the tung oil and Steven spread it.
