We are finally done re-finishing the built-in cabinets in our living room. It really was not a big project, but with a baby and work commitments, it seemed to take weeks. The original cabinets (shown below) were in good shape, but the back walls of the cabinets needed a refresh, we wanted to get rid of the orange tone of the stain, and we wanted to get rid of the wooden shelves.
We already told you how we re-stained the cabinets and the doors. We also removed the old wallpaper and painted the back walls of the cabinets. We then ordered glass shelves and installed them to replace the old wooden shelves. We then re-installed the re-finished doors.
I think the finished product looks great, and some day we will fill those shelves with nice things (I don't know if we have any? haha). We still need to install baseboards, re-paint the room, and re-face the brick fireplace, and then we can take a true "after photo" of the living room.
