Hi! I'm am in the process of refinishing Birch veneered kitchen cabinets. They were installed, brand new around 1972. The cabinets were shellacked over the existing hardware and have been ...»
a nightmare to clean and sand. I tried using Tung Oil to finish them, because my husband and I love the grain of the wood. But, it made them a not so pleasing, gold color (which was the color they were when I started) . Has anyone stained these types of cabinet doors with a darker stain, without them looking yellowy/gold? Thanks for any help!

Remodeling: What to do with load-bearing posts

I'm rehabbing this home and want to remove the posts between the DR and LR; problem is, these support the upstairs wall and the roof is supported on it, so it will be $2200 to get rid of the two posts to the right and leaving the one to the left, moving it over to the right about a foot. I can save $1000 by just having two posts- I would remove the middle and move the two end ones closer together. Any thoughts on type of decorative (remember has to be load bearing) posts, or taking a 6x6 and decorating it to function well? Thanks ahead-

    They actually used the existing posts, added different lengths of posts that were the same diameter, and made a contemporary open wood box floating shelving unit. It completely hid the fact that they were support posts, and acted more as a room divider. If you can set your DVR, or catch the episode, it may be worth a watch, and be a cheaper alternative, especially if you're rehabbing this home as an investment.
