Dawn,

I say that’s a great tip for your friend if she’s not into a two toned look. I agree with having items behind glass!

It’s less dusting of me, so I’m loving the door. What do you thinks of maybe a dry brush over the door with the matching paint of the cabinet. Just a touch to help it blend. (Asking for a friend they want to try it but she’s afraid she’ll ruin the project.

Ohhh Renee! Get out that Kreg jig! It’s not difficult if you pay attention and put the pocket holes in the right place. I have messed up more than a few times, that’s why I always mark mine now. 🙂

good luck!

I’m happy you got your window cabinets made by someone else that you can enjoy. Hoping you will attempt it for yourself when youre ready.

With your instructions, I may actually attempt one myself. Thanks !!
Yes – I like it much better with the window door.

I do like the color you chose for the stain and sanding off the shine was brilliant….pun intended. I just might have to break down and try my Kreg Jig that’s been sitting in the box since I bought it 5 years ago…..
Thanks for the great information!

I LOVE the window door but I’m not real set on the two different finishes?
Thank you for the great tutorial!! I can’t wait to build one!
