Kitchen Cabinets - Before & After

Before shot - dark, dark cabinets. Of course, as you'll see in the after shots, the clutter never changes. :)

After shot: white cabinets and the art gallery that is our fridge.

After shot - white cabinets (again, please disregard the cluttered countertop and dishes in the sink - such is life at our house!)

The "new" old farmhouse table and chairs I purchased Friday (and the lovely green linoleum floor - blech!)

I must close with this print that hangs in my kitchen and I know that many of you have as well. Always a good message to keep in mind.

I’ve had a couple of readers ask how the painting of our kitchen cabinets turned out, so thought I would post some before and after pics. But, I must warn you that this is very much a work in progress. We’re still trying to decide on which pulls to purchase (we’re testing a couple different versions, hence the lone pull you may see in the photos). We still need to fix the backsplash, redo the countertops and the floor. Ah, the floor. You’ve read about this in past postings. And now you finally get to see the lovely green linoleum, or as I call it, the Green Monster. But, as I’m sure you can relate, other unexpected projects come along and interrupt your plans. (Like a giant tree that falls during a storm and has to be cut up and hauled away for a nice sum of cash. I'm just sayin'.)

Also, I found a great deal on a table and chairs at a funky consignment shop in town, Eyedia. I had been searching for a farmhouse table, something antique looking and came across it Friday during lunch. Of course, it needs some TLC (Hubby just had to shake his head at my impulse buy, in the end, though, he liked it). But, for right now, Lemon Pledge seems to do the trick.

Have a great day, everyone!
