Hi, I’ve been looking for the old glass cabinets that were used in a butler pantry years ago and that go up to the ceiling. I’ve searched locally at antique shows, ebay, etc. and am still searching. Does anyone know where I can order something vintage like that online? I’m even open to just finding the cabinet doors as well. Thanks.

Help!! We are trying to get our house ready to put on the market. We have been in the process of painting our cabinets antique white and applying a “clear” coat of poly. We sanded them, cleaned them, painted them and polyed, but some look yellower and some whiter. It looks terrible. We have been doing this in stages so some have been done sooner than the others. We are trying to figure out if all of them will gradually turn the same. Maybe the poly is “curing” and turning them a more yellow tone? I don’t know if we have bad poly, if it even turns bad, or if we did something wrong. Can anyone advise?
I forgot to mention that we also primed with KILZ.

I recently discovered a beautiful piece of furniture, described as a physicians cabinet. Even without knowing much info, I had to have it. Now I’m intrigued about the piece, and am looking for more info. Does anyone know of a website that gives a history of this type of furniture, or possible manufacturers?
