A sigh of relief and accomplishment. I have got my father and mother's old kitchen cupboard about as new (back to original) as I can do it within reason. Much heavy green and brown paint was removed from the exterior. The interior had been painted red and was too difficult to strip in the corners and tight places, so I just painted over it with white. I think it was some version of egg shell white originally.
I guess it will now be "more for show than go" since kitchen appliances and hardware are now at a much advanced stage. Clarine has already stored some sewing materials and cloth in the lower half. I think I will next start on an old, old rocking chair that Jack Coburn bestowed upon me after Lenora died.

Dad, it looks great. I am really impressed. I guess I'll get to see it in person next week.
What determination you have! I would be completely daunted by taking on a project of such magnitude!
It should give you a real sense of satisfaction to have tackled such a time-consuming project and have it all come together so well.
Nice job! I've always loved that cupboard.
