We are making some great progress on our kitchen remodeling project. My husband has made three of the five pieces of cabinetry for our kitchen island that will surround our stove in the middle of the kitchen (two sets of drawers and three bookcases), and I am tasked with sanding, priming, and painting them. There are a few blemishes on the plywood, so I went to Building Center to get wood putty to fill in the gaps. My husband notoriously hates wood putty (not sure why), but I decided the blemishes were noticeable enough that they needed a fix. Back at home, I gave the wood putty a try, and it was amazing. Super easy to use, dried quickly, and after sanding and painting, you can barely tell any of the blemishes were ever there. I really enjoy this project that we are working on together, and even though it is is taking a lot of time and effort (it took my husband 20 hours to make just one of the sets of drawers, and it has taken me at least 15 hours to get the primer and first coat on the three completed pieces), I am confident it is going to be worth it. It is so satisfying to create things and to make our home the way we want it to be. I delight in the materials I am using, the primer, the cabinet paint, the sandpaper, the brushes, the wood putty, and the wood putty knife. And I very much delight in my husbands amazing carpentry skills! I can't wait to get it all set up and put our kitchen back in order!
With delight,
