Hey Signy and Brenda! I'm just saying hi. I've been out of town a lot lately, so I haven't had much time to read and post. I hope to be back in the future.

Used up the last of my wood putty today. I can't believe I finally figured out how to make that stuff last. I opened that up a year ago and it was still good.
I decided to give that old curio cabinet a proper restore that's up to my new standards. I did a fairly good job back in my drinking days with it, but nowhere near the level of the kitchen cabinets.
I was going to put new hinges on it, but I couldn't find anything in oil rubbed bronze that would work at the store and the prices were gross anyways. I'm not spending $30 on 4 hinges and 2 door latches.
I'll just give them the spraypaint treatment that I gave the interior kitchen hardware after scrubbing them clean.
It really is a nice old cabinet. I got it from a guy back when I worked at KMart. He had it out in his garage for decades, and it was in terrible shape when I first got it.
I'm going to move it out in the living room. I've got the perfect spot for it. That will free up the entire floor in the kitchen, so all I'll have there is the 2-seater table. Now that the garbage/recycle bins are under the countertop where the dishwasher used to be and the cabinet isn't there anymore, there will be plenty of room for the table and it will really open up the path between the kitchen and living room.
Once that's done, I can load it back up and get everything out of the pantry so I can start working on that.
I'm not sure if I'm just going to pull off the bad contact paper off of the shelves in there and paint them, or if I want to build it out with a better layout and some drawers or not.

Well... There seems to be one flaw in the preservation of the wood putty...
It hasn't been an issue until now, but since I was at the end of the product over the year+ of preserving it, there apparently was too much water in it. My experience with wood putty to this point was that it never suffered from the shrinkage that you'd get with caulk or joint compound (drywall patch).
But there was some shrinkage last night. Too much, acutally. Even when I sand it down on the sides of the deeper ruts, it will still be slightly pitted.
I did find another small wood putty container while moving all my stuff around, but that must have been bought many, many years ago. I'll have to open it and see if it's still any good. It should be enough to finish the job if it is.
