My kitchen makeover



This is really exciting for me! I paint walls, etc. all the time, but I took on something bigger this time. I decided to paint the kitchen cabinets. I knew it would be a major pain, which it was, but I couldn't get the idea out of my head. Our kitchen isn't real big and the dark cabinets made it dreary. I also decided that if the cabinets were off white, that I'd have more options for wall colors. I always have a motive...

This took five days, which I guess isn't too bad. (I had lots of help from my mom as well.) The process consisted of removing the doors, sanding, priming, painting, and varnishing. Not to mention all the time spent waiting for drying of all the different coats. Oh, and the mess! I moved the dining room table out of the way so I had a place to work on the cabinet doors. I will say that it is pretty convenient to work in a kitchen with no doors to open and close.

Thanks again to my mom for all her help and to Nat for the advice she gave me!!!
