Little steps, specific goals. I'm going to try to stop thinking of it as 'finish the kitchen' and start thinking 'tomorrow, I will add molding to the doors.' Which is actually what I did today. And then I STOPPED. Tomorrow, I will make doors and drawers for the bottom cabinets. I want to paint them a cream color, but I can't seem to find the right color. so possibly the day after, I will mix and play with paint until I get it right. The doors in the photos are still not attached to the base, because I have to paint. Hopefully I can get them straighter. Eventually I need to decide on handles. My townhouse kitchen cabinets didn't have any, so not having them is an option.
I'm rather pleased with how the molding turned out. I cut out 3/16" and 1/8" strips of poster board (the cheap kind with both sides paper, no shiny side) and glued them together, narrower strip centered on the wider (more or less.) I had to fight to make them even and my 45 degree angles are pretty bad, even with the mitre chopper I was using, but paint should hide the worst of it.
