When can I come see this in person.

spspirate · Apr 23, 2014

I went with a Classic Key Lime color.......Not because I love going to Kermit's Key West Key Lime Pie and scarfing up delicious key lime pie but because I can't simply come up with any other color.....LOL I must have spent an hour looking at colors and kept coming back to this one........so I went with it. Looks tasty!

One coat of tinted primer on. Im liking it

Coat of primer dried and a nice smooth coat of Key Lime on. Pics are a little dark because of the low light I had in the work shop.

Doors will take a couple weeks. Looking forward to finishing it up and adding the knobs.

Looking good, Andy!

Are you making doors or are you ordering them from somewhere?? It's one of the last things I have to do as well!

Thanks Christian! The cabinet doors will be made by the same guy who remodeled our kitchen.

That's along the lines of what my wife said.. If you want to upgrade it, now is the time!
