Pen Tray Liners -- Need Wider Spaces

[inkstainedruth]

Ruth, that dentists cabinet is wonderful. If you're looking to put small glass knobs on the drawers, there's a company called D. Lawless Hardware (dlawlesshardware.com) and they do a line of reproduction depression glass knobs that would look so right on your cabinet. Not a customer, I just love looking at their stuff!

Thanks for the link. Some of those do look really nice, if pricy.... Unfortunately, the smallest they seem to have of the glass ones are 1" -- which would be fine for the drawers but too large for the hutch doors. So I'm sticking to the wood ones, which I can stain or paint; the ones I got at Woodcraft Supply are the small ones, and they have larger ones in the same style (it's just that I'd have to order them to have enough, since the local store only had three 2-packs of the larger ones in sock.

Sorry -- dreaded double post. Trying to type while my husband is talking to a friend on the phone about tech stuff....

Hi, Ruth. Whenever I have seen dental cabinets for sale I have been tempted to buy, but have always stopped short, mostly due to the size (and yours is bigger than most I have seen). I love the design, and it does not look like it will take much to make it spectacular. Great find!

Thanks. I'm really hopeful that I haven't bitten off more than I can chew. I actually have seen ones that are possibly taller than mine, but not as wide (it's hard to tell sometimes from a small photo on eBay). The metal one I saw was definitely smaller -- and quite a bit cheaper -- but it was such an awful color.

Hi Ruth

 

Is there an update on your project. Would love to know how it finally turned out.

[inkstainedruth]

Sadly, it has not progressed. Over the summer it was too hot and humid to want to work outside painting the replacement drawer knobs, and possibly repainting the metal sections of the drawers. Now, for the last few days, it's been too wet, and it's supposed to get cold this weekend (some of the weather people on TV on local newscasts have said the "s-" word over the last couple of days...).

Also, I'm really bad about getting motivated to do stuff. I've spent most of the past several months binge reading Agatha Christie mysteries instead....

Google 1" acoustic wedge foam panels. I also bought some dish drainer rinnig for cheap at Ikea.
