as you all know our home is ancient. we love the house, just not the maintenance. yet that comes with homeownership no matter how new your building is.
i decided last week to take on painting our kitchen cabinets. our kitchen is dark and depressing. there is only one window to let in light and an awning above it outside. our light fixtures are antique and barely brighten the room. in order for us to alter the kitchen, within our means, painting the cabinets seemed the most logical.
i began last wed. and by sat. finished the top cabinets. yesterday i completed one section of the bottom. only one more section to go which i hope to finish sunday.
has been an exhausting process, but we are truly pleased with the results.
besides painting cabinets we've had a good week. hoed the garden yesterday, planted more flowers and got in to clean out the kids' swimming pool. ryan began mowing and finished yard work this morning. mom and dad drove up to see barry's new house today and will be coming over to our place sat. to babysit so ryan and i can go see nick swardson in st. louis. he one of ryan's favorite comedians and i bought him tickets for our anniversary present. i intended for him to take a friend... but instead he has settled on taking me. i don't know who will have the worst time. ha!
sorry not much to share - just wanted to show the fruits of my labor...
kitchen cabinets... before
kitchen cabinets... after
nick swardson... may have seen him on 'reno 911', 'the benchwarmers','grandma's boy', 'blades of glory' and more
