A complete kitchen revamp.
I have pulled off all the cupboard doors, washed them with TSP. Sanded them down to prepare them for spraying.
This is one room in the house that has remained pretty much untouched since we moved here, yes the floor is redone and the walls have been painted but.... Tired of the oak cupboards that were here but still ok with the layout and functionality of the kitchen I wanted an updated look but still in keeping with original doors that we had!
This is the kitchen as it was.....
This is what I am hoping it will look like!!!
The sunflower border is coming off, a fresh coat of paint going on. Also done with the golden wheat colour that was on the walls, this time around I am opting for a sage to olive green to tone things down a bit.
We are shopping this weekend for a backsplash. I am looking for the smaller mirrored squares and eventually we will replace the counter top. I would LOVE marble or granite but we will see how the budget goes for that one! I am hoping that the new freshly painted doors will add the look I am seeking!
I am also changing windows treatments as well....perhaps some roman shades???
Lots of things to do! It is getting there! The doors are at my wonderful B-I-L's furniture factory waiting to be lacquered. All we need to do is remove the pantry for spraying as soon as I can get it up there! Been a little busy with puppies!!! :)
I will keep you updated on my progress! It is certainly gratifying to do this very cost effectively!!! With what we saved recycling the cupboard doors, may go into an upgrade counter top OR an island!!! The measurement have been taken so when we do decide to go ahead with the counter top, will get an island made too! I cannot wait!
It should all come together...at least I hope it will!
