...a spiffier kitchen...hopefully...


...this was our kitchen the day we moved in...kinda still stuck in the 60s...but it's nice and big and bright...you can see the lovely insides of the cabinets here...

...it just needs a little TLC...

...so I removed all of the cabinet doors and drawers...

...not without labeling them first...

...and set about scrubbing everything really well...

...the plan is to just refinish them with a new coat of poly...the Man wants to keep the wood tone...I sort of voted for just painting them (how about a nice French Country Antique Blue)...but we'll see how this turns out...

...my arms are sore...

~Have a lovely day!

    I'm with you, paint those babies! It will really bring a nice cheery atmosphere to the room.

  3. I think the blue would be lovely. I love that you noted them all, I would end up puzzling about where they came from!

  5. Come do mine next? ;) We've been "moved-in" for three years now and the kitchen is the one room we haven't tackled yet. Someday!

  6. That kitchen is beautiful! I love how big it is...mine is like an alley way. I vote for painting the cabinets...and putting in some sort of island. I like the blue paint idea.

  7. I'm painting my kitchen blue, but just the walls. My first home had peach cabinets, which I quickly sanded and painted white. What a CHORE. I was sore for a month when I finished, but it was worth every single coat. New hardware, new paint, and that kitchen was AWESOME. Good luck!
