I have been in desperate need for some color in my house.
I have a problem with always going with blacks and browns.
I know boring!
So lately I have been trying to branch out a bit and add some color to my house.
I have made some progress but was still feeling the itch to do something different and BOLD...you know break the mold a little.
So while I was in Utah I begged Paul to start a project I have been wanting to tackle for years now
Our Kitchen Cabinets
He has been dragging his feet, because lets be honest this is not a small project. I promised him if he would just put the beadboard in the center of the cabinets I would do the rest. So him and his brother hopped right on the project (they ROCK, I know!!)
So when I got home I had some work ahead of me.
After a week of my entire house being in project mode, lots of sanding, what seemed like a gazilion coats of primer, paint and sealer and some antiquing to top it off, we threw on the new hardware and
wallah....
My new kitchen cabinets!
These are the cabinets under the kitchen sink.
The pictures dont really do it justice...the camera didnt capture the color exact and you cant see the antiquing to well...but you get the idea!
The picture above is probably the closest to what it really looks like
Before:
I love before and after pictures
but
Since the project was started while I was out of town there was no before picture taken. Dang it!
I searched through my old pics and found this pic from a couple years back of my friend Mary with the cabinets in the background.
(Thanks Mary for modeling my old cabinets)ahhh...it feels good to check another project off the good 'ol To Do List.
Next on the agenda to paint the shelf in our kitchen black.
But for now Goal Accomplished...
a little more color
...and for some reason I am craving cake now :)
