A little teaser for the book shelve project flanking both sides of the fireplace. We have chosen Sherwin Williams Shade Grown Green and are using a rich black and gold floral motif backdrop. We have beautiful brushed brass hardware for the cabinetry. Stay tuned for the final before and afters! Check out my helpful hints below.
Helpful Hints:
Cabinets take time! You cannot rush them! Follow directions well. Clean, sand if needed and wipe down, then use a bonding primer(not all purpose primer)…I like Sherwin Williams HGTV Interior Bonding Primer. It self levels well. When rolling cabinetry choose cabinet rollers (foam like) I have a new fav (I’ll list later). Then use a cabinet paint. We like Valspar water based but with an Oil Enriched Enamel In a Satin Finish. Always seal with at least one coat of Poly. We used a fast drying water based MinWax poly acrylic in a satin finish. Watch for those drips and brush on the poly! You’ll have horrible bubbles from rolling. You must work very quickly with the poly.
