A cabinet is born

All that's left is the trim and door.  I can only imagine what this would have looked like if we allowed the stairway carpenter to have at it!!  I decided to use the same iron H hinges that I have on the other cupboards instead of the costly rat tails.  Rather than prime and apply two coats of paint on the interior, staining and waxing was much quicker and will be easier to care for.  For projects that have cut edges of drywall, I always wrap those crumbling edges with masking tape to prevent further dust.   Mark did not agree with the height of the top shelf but I am glad to have the tall space for cleaning supplies.  The narrow shelf for nail polish and smaller items will have a basket to hold them all.
 
The air conditioner has not been on for quite a while and it was so chilly, we had to close the windows.  Damn.  Not happy!!
 
Hope your weekend goes well!!

FANTASTIC JOB you two! Love it!
It has cooled down here too. In the 70's during the day and 50's at night. I have the windows open at night though. Being above the bakery, it gets hot!

Great cabinet! Just curious about the stain and waxing? No polyurethane? What do you use to wax it with? I have a lot of window sills to strip and re-do. Love this idea! Thanks!
