This past week/weekend

We've decided to try making new cabinet faces for our existing vanities, since 1) nobody wanted to buy them from us, and 2) it'll be a LOT less expensive that way. So, last week, Jessica worked on a 'mock up' of a drawer front to see if it was possible. We were excited about the way it turned out and decided to go with it. This weekend consisted of David figuring out how to bore holes into cabinet doors in order for the hinges to fit correctly (not an easy task!) and Jessica worked on putting together more fronts. Without further ado....the photos:

Hmmmm....these cabinets need doors and drawer faces! How will we accomplish this?

David's bored holes and markings for more. We made jokes all weekend about how he needs to be more interesting and stop with the boring.

Here is the wood, all cut and ready to be fixed up! You can see the original drawer faces in this pic, also. The plain white with little finger holds are not appealing!

Ready to be glued and painted!

Jessica's finished mock up - it's painted white, but you can't really tell in this pic.
