Today I FINALLY got the polyurethane on the laundry room cabinets. I used Minwax water based wipe on poly...and let me tell you...I was not impressed. Usually water based poly is crystal clear (which is what I wanted since I painted the cabinets super white) and low and behold...now the cabinets have a yellow hue. UGH! SOOOO frustrating!! Had I known that was going to happen I would have just used the regular wipe on poly which I love! I swear...we are not meant to have a nice looking laundry (clutter) room!! Kade still hasn't gotten the crown moulding up on the top of the cabinets, so I just poly'd up to my top piece of trim, and will paint & poly the crown and the "add on" as soon as they are up. I've gotta just keep moving forward and try to get SOMETHING done!
Here's a good shot of what I left unfinished.
You can see the yellowish hue in this pic. I think I may have to put something in the back of the cabinet with open shelves so it's not quite so yellow looking. Hmm...something else to think about :)
I can't wait to see how it all looks with the crown. I think that's really going to pull it all together!
Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to spray the cabinet doors again with my new Harbor Fright HVLP sprayer. I'm seriously thinking no matter how they turn out this time, it's just how they're going to have to be. I've wasted entirely too much time on these doors!
