How to remove glass shelves from medicine cabinet?

December 7th, 2011
Jen Marshall asked:


I’ve got a wooden medicine cabinet that I’m stripping and refinishing. It’s got 3 glass shelves inside that are chipped so they’ll need to be replaced but i can’t figure out how best to remove them.
They seem to be glued in. They look to have been slid into place via notches cut in the sides of the cabinet (does this even make sense to anyone?)…
I can’t figure out how to get the shelves out without wrecking the wooden interior. Is there a way to dissolve the glue??
Any help would be appreciated!

How to cure strong varnish smell on cabinet?

November 18th, 2011
Epanema asked:


We recently bought a buffet cabinet to store china from walmart, and the cabinet is very pretty, but it is very smelly, it is emitting a strong paint/varnish smell. We placed the cabinet outside to air out and hope that helps, as it would be a shame to return it. Does anyone know what else we can do besides airing it outside?

Is it okay to install a tall pantry cabinet right next to the stove?

November 16th, 2011
CP asked:


We are remodeling our kitchen, and wanted to put a tall pantry cabinet right next to the stove instead of the small base cabinet that is usually there. Will the heat from the stove cause it to warp or catch on fire, since it is so close to the burner flame? Also can put the backsplash on the cabinet to make it blend with the rest of the kitchen? Thanks for the help!!

What color should I paint my kitchen cabinet doors?

November 15th, 2011
Christina asked:


I’m laying a light tan / beige floor in my kitchen and the walls and cabinets are white. What color should I paint the cabinet doors? White doors will get too dirty, so I’d rather not paint them white.

The previous owner painted the kitchen cabinet doors blue, and I don’t like the look - it’s a small kitchen and the doors are too dark. Lighter colors would help the kitchen look bigger.

How to you add legs to a cabinet that doesnt have legs?

October 26th, 2011
gurlie_tech asked:


I have a DVD cabinet that is made to sit directly on the floor. This design doesnt sit well with me because the floor in my apartment is a bit uneven so its pretty obvious when this cabinet sits flush on the floor it teeters over a bit. I would like to add 4 legs to this cabinet but do not know how to “mount” it to the actual cabinet. What do I need? I tried to find a mounting plate of some sort and came up empty. Also a search for “table legs” also comes up with nothing. I would like the legs to be 6 or less inches tall. Not TOO tall just tall eenough so you cant see this cabinet rocking on my uneven floor! Any suggestions?

How can I organize old bills without a filing cabinet?

October 21st, 2011
tiredbutwiredlove asked:


I’d like to come up with some other way to organize and store my old bills other than a filing cabinet. I hate how they always seem to get jumbled in those stupid hanging folders and everything is so crammed. It’s hard to actually find things when I do need to see them. Any ideas?
