a recap: i wanted to display our dishes on the built-ins in the kitchen. so i found self-adhesive vinyl foam weatherstripping at ace hardware and went to town. and the cabinets have looked beautiful since sept! then when wade and i returned home after the holidays - we found that the adhesive didn't keep in the cold - and we had 2 broken dishes (thankfully - just 2). "weatherstripping" apparently doesn't mean "weatherproof".
to be honest, i was disappointed and a bit defeated. we have such limited cabinet space. the dishes sat stacked on our washer/dryer all week while we considered our options. a little proof of our lack of space:
{our ghetto dishwasher ...}
{... has been re-purposed as a storage cabinet}
our mission this past weekend - to find a fix & still use the built-ins.
the culprit - this NOT weather-proof foam:
the solution - little square dowel rods, three nails each dowel and a can of paint:
and now my babies are safe again!
thanks to my live-in handyman!
