Helping Dan & Meg
Dan and Meg bought their first home realizing it was a fixer-upper. They redid the
floors, the basement, built a garage, installed new appliances and counter-top with
the thought in mind of how it needed to look when it was complete. They knew they
had quite a bit of work in front of them to have the dream house they always wanted
at a price they could afford. Next was the kitchen.

Meg & Dan decided to paint the existing cabinetry but several of the doors had to
be remade to the correct width and size and routed to match the existing cabinetry.
That’s where Sugar Creek Woodworking came into the picture.

Remaking Cabinet Doors
While the doors were being remade, Dan and Meg filled holes left by discarded hardware,
primed and painted the drawers and face fronts and Daisy patiently waited for the
disruptive activity in her house to be complete.

A “refreshed” kitchen mostly done by Dan and Meg with a little help from Sugar Creek
Woodworking. Beautiful!
The Story of Mary & Earl
Earl & Mary had four old chairs that came from Star Union Brewery Company in Peru,
IL where Mary’s grandfather had worked. The chairs were heavily painted and three
of them needed major repairs to the seats.
When Mary & Earl started to strip one of the chairs they were not getting as clean
of a stripping job as they desired. Mary & Earl brought the chairs to us to strip
and make repairs. Then they took them back to sand and finish.
Mary & Earl then applied the final finish using a natural colored stain and two
coats of high gloss poly.
