Using the laser level, tape measure, straightedge, and pencil, you will mark the protruding points on the floors, walls, and ceiling. Use a sharp bit, high speed and medium pressure to avoid splintering the wood on the back of the hole.
Don’t trust your organization skills to keep up with clear glass? Choose frosted glass instead, or pick one or two cabinets as accents only. For uneven surfaces and grooves that the sander cannot reach, use a foam sanding pad. Begin with low-numbered sandpaper grits and work up to higher numbers. Sandpaper at the #220 is usually the highest you will go.
Connecting the Base Cabinets
DO tackle crevices and cabinet hardware with an old toothbrush. Which is why we use furniture-grade solid wood and veneers in all of our standard stained wood doors. The ones in the back get cut off, screwed through, and covered by the counter top. Those underneath should be cut off at the edge of the cabinet so they don’t interfere with adjacent cabinets. Find your wall studs with a stud finder or by knocking to locate solid spots where studs are located. Use your pencil, marker, or chalk to mark all of the wall studs located in your layout lines.

Instead, follow our instructions on how to clean quartz countertops the right way. If you’re working with an architect or a designer on a full kitchen remodel, they can help guide you through the shopping process. But if you’re managing the project on your own, you’ll need to do your own research. Keep in mind that the lead time on countertop deliveries can be several months, especially amid ongoing supply chain challenges. Before getting started, you will need to patch test the cabinets with your cleaning solution. It’s much easier to move and position your cabinets without the drawers and doors attached, so wait until you’ve installed the cabinets to attach them. Unscrew and carefully remove the cleats from your wall since your cabinets are now attached to the studs.

“There’s nothing like a wood countertop to warm up a cooking space, especially if you’re partial to a rustic design scheme,” says Valeris. Invented in Italy in 1977, quartz has emerged as a top countertop choice only in the last decade or so. “We’ve had it installed in the Good Housekeeping Institute Labs for 15 years now,” says Laurie Jennings, general manager at the Institute, who opted for quartz on her recent kitchen remodel. “It feels timeless and modern and this pattern is good at camouflaging imperfections. It’s also easy to clean and seems to stand up to most cleaners.” When cleaning wood cabinets, it’s essential to be diligent when drying them. Bright white, natural wood grain or even a combination can give your cabinet interiors character and beauty.
