The Dinette Table

Putting the metal band back on after the new laminate is installed.

This is the same laminate that was used to make the upper cabinet slider doors.

Close up, and truest representation of the color (on my monitor anyway).

Box Specs.

More box specs...

Being installed. 

Another view - you can see the rich walnut color best here.

My camera flash was weak on the others, making the floor look darker.

The foam backing also works as construction floor protector.

More photos to come when the trim is done...

Close up of the original Formica on the kitchen counter.

It is not perfect, but it is too cool to scrap, so it will be staying.

Another view, after shellac at ceiling and end cap by range.

Close up of the kitchen drawers

The Furnace

Furnace cover - Before

It fired right up, and really put out some heat. Too bad it was an 80 degree day!

The Overhead Cabinet - Refinished, New Sliding Doors

The overhead cabinet above the front window was removed to install the new wood at the side walls

Before sanding and new shellac

Getting ready to apply the laminate to the wood for the slider doors

Reinstalled, with new shellac and sliding doors installed.

The center stile is where the gas light will go.

Hard to capture the laminate in pictures, it is a neutral, yet has a textured design.

Here is an extreme close up of the laminate.

Wood removed at ceiling where vent had leaked.

Another view - from the front looking to the rear.

Vent reinstalled, new wood with finish applied, original light centered between cabinets.
