Sandy's Little House

[gja1000]

No I didn't paint the paneling thinly, but the pattern of the grain showed through the paint, not the actual brown grain. Sorry for the confusion. I think your idea of glazing some of the panels is a great idea.

We constructed a bar (only about 4 foot long) that was a slice out of a cedar tree (actually two slices glued together - and you couldn't see the seam) - it was about 2 feet wide. We left the edge a little rough, but we had it all heavily lacquered (we had it professionally cut and finished) so that it looked very rustic, and the edge looked rough, yet was completely safe to eat or work on. Gary got two Y-branches off cedar trees, striped the bark off and I varnished them and then he used them as supports under the bar. They looked really cool.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of have glass doors on the kitchen cabinets. I think that is very cool.
