We are in the middle of refinishing our kitchen cabinets. They are cherry builder grade cabinets from 20+ years ago.

We’ve stripped all of the finish off and now the wife is ready for the next step.

We will be painting one half of the kitchen and staining the other half. She wants to cover the existing veneer on the ends of the box’s with 1/4 wood because she doesn’t know how well paint will take to the veneer on the one half and obviously stain won’t take on the other half.

Is 1/4 cherry plywood the best option? If not, please advise 🙏. Thank you!

We got our Coton puppy a Cavapoo!

Phoebe (Coton) is 20 weeks old. We got her about 4 weeks ago at 16 weeks old. We also bought Willa (Cavapoo) about the same time, but we could not take her home until she was 10 weeks. We finally got to bring her to her forever home last week to meet her big sissy!

We lost 2 senior dogs (litter mates) in the past 12 months at 14 years old. I’d been telling my wife for weeks that I’d do anything to argue over whose turn it is to walk the dogs again. She started looking at puppies out of curiosity one night a few weeks ago and told me if we ever get another she would like a Coton. I personally was leaning towards a Cavapoo. Not a big deal because we both agree that two female puppies were a must if/when we were ready. Since her interest was peaked I spent my lunch break the following day calling breeders. The Coton de Tulear breeder had one female left that wasn’t spoken for as did the Cavapoo breeder. Called the wife and her response was “could we go now?!?”. About 2 hours later we were bringing our Phoebe home and had left a deposit for our Willa.

She told me a third puppy is absolutely out of the question! We’ll see how firm she holds!! Either way, my heart is once again full!!
