I’m wondering about the hardware. I don’t see the hinges; are they under the fabric, or are they the kind that don’t show on the outside? Even so, wrapping fabric around the door, especially a heavier type like oilcloth, puts a lot of material into a space that’s meant to be clear for the hinges to function — or wasn’t this a problem? Or what did you do about it?

You all seem to have had the same thought I did, “How do you clean those?”

I wonder how it would work if you used oil cloth? That you could wipe down!

Ugh, all I can think is about the greasy dust that would settle on them. Our beautiful new glass vent hood is easy to clean, but needs it almost daily. Judging from the amount of grease that settles on it I can’t imagine what would collect on that (gorgeous!) fabric.

I love this project – you could definitely spruce up a kitchen pretty easily with this.

I’m right there with you… We have so much fatty stains in the kitchen that a simple spray sealer wouldn’t do – VARNISH wouldn’t do.
I think I could do this is living room or bedroom, perhaps even in the… er… what’s the part of the house called where you enter the home, hallway?

If you wanted to use a fabric that cleans up easy, oilcloth might work well for this project.
