Question
I am renting a house and the inside of the cabinets are terrible and I need to some help how to spruce them up inside. It's so bad I refuse to put my dishes in.  Can you give me some ideas how I can make this better.  Thanks for your help.

Answer
Hi Brown
Nice to hear from you.
The first thing that came to mind when I read your letter was painting the cabinet interiors.
Then I sat here and thought for a few more minutes.
What about covering them in vinyl wallpaper. If you go to the bins where they sell the mixed rolls you can pick up some really good wallpaper for next to nothing.
In Canada (where I am), we have a product called "Mac Tac".
Its peel and stick vinyl thats sold by the yard. I actually have it in my drawer bottoms (LOL, you know the drawers I mean).
I hope I have given you some ideas.
Good Luck and great question
Regards
Eileen

Hi..I can answer most questions about the repairing,stripping and refinishing of all your old furniture and wood items(the things we call antiques)I can give advice about what to buy/avoid at auctions/flea markets. I do not give appraisals on antiques.

Experience

I have been refinishing antiques for the past 30yrs. While I have taken several courses over the years,I have found that "hands on" learning is the best teacher. Perhaps I can help you avoid some of the mistakes I made while learning.
