~PART 6: Bathroom Remodel~
Fairly quick refinish of this cool retro medicine cabinet. Cleaned it up with some Bar Keepers Friend and hit it with one coat of primer and two coats of glossy white spray paint. Happy I was able to preserve the razor blade disposal label 😁

~PART 4: Bathroom Remodel~
Want a really cheap way to get a basically brand new countertop? Krylon Spray Paint Appliance Epoxy to the rescue. Really easy to use, came out just as I imagined, nice glossy look and the epoxy finish feels super durable. Onward to painting the base of the vanity.

~PART 1: Bathroom Remodel~
Holy metallic wallpaper Batman! This bathroom has not seen an update in at least 30 years. There's a fair amount of work ahead of me but to keep the budget low I'll be refinishing most everything rather than replacing. Next stop wallpaper removal 🙃

Another project I did for my wife at was devising a way to dry fresh herbs for her various ferments. What you see here is lime basil.

~Checkout Counter & Divider~
My wife owns and operates which creates fermented foods and beverages using traditional, old world methods. I've done a number of projects for her kitchen but this is probably the most notable.

Originally, the dividing wall was placed parallel to the checkout counter creating a small seating area in the front part of the kitchen, but as the business grew we moved it to be perpendicular and create more space for more fermentation tanks.

Once again, I used Polycrylic to finish the tops and faux waterfall edges. I left everything else raw wood and just sanded it to a smooth finish.

Very simple construction and joinery but they get the job done and warm up the space which is essentially a concrete box.
