kitchen cabinets stage one......done

the last two days i have been working very hard to get my kitchen redo into gear.

yesterday, the place was a mess....

it kinda sorta looked like this

one half started cabinet paint job....

the whole house was a mess because i worked all day on this project and then austen had baseball in the evening at a baseball field 45 minutes away.

the garage was paint central

don had started painting the cabinet doors with a brush...icky brush strokes

my new love is a foam roller..

painting was a breeze and it went way faster than painting with a brush.

this morning,  the kitchen looked like this.......

ugh....don't judge me!!!  this is why i don't have glass doors on any of my cabinets....lol

this afternoon, stage one is done

i still have to put up the moulding because we added wood between the cabinet top and the crown moulding to give the builders grade cabinets a little height and elegance....

you can see the gap here a little better....

the trim is in the garage drying right now....

spray painted with dark gray and will be dry brushed with the same paint as the cabinets.

nice and bright!!!

and i am loving the change in the space.
i am sure that you noticed that i have 3 different colors of appliances.

someday, i will find my killer craigslist deal on a new stainless steel set of appliances that actually match...but for now, they are all working and in good condition so i can live with the variety.

let's call it "eclectic" shall we? 

this is what it looked like two days ago....

and what it looked like one month ago

quite a change, i think......

i still need to paint the bottom cabinets, but i can live with this until i get the energy to finish.  

right now, i need to clean my house....
