Ask Sandra 1 – your questions answered
I had a lot of fun putting this together. I even have a couple instructional videos filmed too (one in response to a certain MDF and rough edges question). The editing process kills me but I’ll get ’em out!
For the time being — here’s the first official “Ask Sandra” video.
If you have a question you’d like me to answer this week, you can ask it here on this pos. If you have a picture you’d like me to look at (so you can ask me a question), upload it on twitter or instagram: tag me @SawdustGirl and use #AskSandra so we can find you.

Hi Sandra! I love your blog and have learned so much already. I have a question in regards to painting my living room. It desperately needs a new color, but here’s the problem: the ceiling is vaulted and at the high end it goes up 30 feet! How in the heck do I get up that high? Do I need scaffolding (and how difficult is that?)? I really don’t want to hire painters.
I love you blog, you are doing amazing work on your house. I am a trained furniture designer and builder but it is only a hobby for me now so I love reading blogs where people like you are doing creative work. I am curious why you never use a biscuit joiner in cabinet building. I find it easier, strong and completely hidden compared to using pocket holes and screws or some of the other options.
Step 27. Haha You are so cute! I love your video’s.
Great video! I look forward to each of these.
My question: How did you make your beaded face frames for your kitchen cabinets? Any tips or tricks?
Thanks for answering my question, Sandra. Sometimes it takes extra eyes to open up the opportunities in a project!
