anticipation....

Do you remember a few weeks ago i painted my kitchen my newest fav color... pale Swedish grey?

Do you also remember the post in which i said how i detest my kitchen cabinets?

It's been a big debate whether to paint the beautiful cherry cabinets or to keep them. The nice couple that owned the home before us, did an amazing job with this 100 year old home.......except in the kitchen. They updated it tooooo much. A farmhouse in which they painted all the molding white, every door in the home white, the trim, the walls, it screamed......cottage farmhouse. UNTIL you got into the kitchen.

Cherry cabinets, black quartz counters and black appliances.

not at all farmhouse cottage, but urban with a bit of contemporary.

yuck.

Then i took over....

I've had to wait almost 2 years to be able to do what i wanted in this kitchen.........

I got 3 estimates to have the cabs painted. 2 were out of my range, and the last guy came in and saved my day.....

the kitchen is tiny, but it has a ton of cabs.......all i could see is cherry........

part of the reduced "price" was myself taking off all the doors and hardware.....

what a task i tell ya.....

I know what you're thinking..................spaghettio's, kraft mac n cheese, cake mix in a BOX......... you know i can see you enlarging the images just to see what's in the cabinets!!!

I know this is the part where you are going to kill me.

my doors are not up yet, but i just had to show you the process.

don't hate me...........

I will post the "finale" on Wednesday or Thursday..............

it'll be good ....

i promise.....and i might even show you where i hide the cheeto's!
