Guest Bathroom is Newly A-Door-able

Hello Friends, remember when I did a reveal of our upstairs guest bathroom?
It wasn't quite finished.  My husband painted the existing cabinets, until we could replace them with new doors and drawer fronts.
Well to my surprise, I was contacted by Cabinet Now inquiring if I needed any new cabinet doors for a project in our home.  Immediately, I said YES!
Here's a little peek.


Below are the before photos.
Adding new cabinet doors and drawer fronts is cost efficient and looks fantastic. Keeping your cabinet bases makes sense, if they have good bones.  Our kitchen and dining room have alder cabinets with a rich brown stain, so we were excited to think we could do kind of a similar look in our guest bathroom.  Below is a photo of our dining room alder cabinets.

They took care to wrap them in cardboard and plastic wrap.
These are the new cabinet doors and drawer fronts from CabinetsNow.  They are beautiful.   My husband decided he would rather bore out for the hinges and then they are ready for stain. These are the Monterey Style cabinets.
This is the tool my husband used to bore out the holes for the hidden hinges.
He loves any reason to buy a new tool....ha ha.
Keep in mind Cabinet Now will pre-bore out your cabinet doors.
Apply a wood conditioner, helping absorb pigments more thoroughly. 
  • Stir the wood conditioner thoroughly.
  • Use a clean rag to apply a thin, even layer of conditioner on the wood.
  • Let the conditioner soak in and dry for 15 minutes.
  • Remove any excess conditioner with a clean rag.
Conditioner should be applied, dried, and wipe clear within two hours of staining.
Now, that the pre-stain has been applied and dried, it's time for stain.
My husband let the stain dry overnight.


 After staining the cabinet doors, he applied two coats of polyurethane. We decided we wanted a glaze added to give the cabinets doors more depth.  We chose a black highlight stain.


Ta da!  Cabinets are all finished and hung!

  8. Very nice bathroom remodel, Linda! I don't know where I was that I missed the reveal, but just now took the time to see it all. I love that living edge of the glass doors on the shower! THe cabinets look great. Paul must've been excited for that company contacting you - leaves more money to spend elsewhere, right?! Great look, and very cohesive with you overall house decor.
