Home Remodeling Projects are like Dominos

Once you start one, they all start tumbling.  My last post was 2 months ago.  I had finished the bathroom except the door trim leading to the bedroom.  Finishing the door and door trim meant moving forward on some of the remodeling plans for the bedroom.  I know this blog is really about furniture but thought I'd share because the bedroom remodel included some interesting wood finishing details.  I've been kinda obsessed by some of the new flooring finishes that utilize a fumed process to turn the wood a gray then oiled to highlight the grain.  I've been looking for a furniture piece I could try this out on.  However, in meantime I was able to test it out on some white oak wood flooring that I used to "panel" the walls.  It came out pretty cool!  The color is a nice calming mix of grays and browns and the grain is subtly enhanced with a white tinted oil.   I also had to build and hang the barn style door for the bathroom.  As part of the remodel I also installed some wardrobe cabinets to increase our storage space and so we could move out some furniture to make the room less cluttered.  I did the same finish on the wardrobe doors.  Since these are veneers the effect is slightly different but still cool.  This is more how it would look on a furniture piece.  I still need to build a trim panel for the side and above the wardrobes to make them look built in.  Just in case you thought I've been sitting around doing nothing for 2 months....
