So the kitchen begins

We have finally taken some steps to freshen up the kitchen. First up, the cabinets. See, I LOVE wood, really do, though oak is a tough wood to have in a kitchen. On top of that, a kitchen that is narrow, as seen below.

And without going and replacing all of the cabinets, I figured a fresh look would do our kitchen wonders. We have stainless steel appliances so white has been my new favorite kitchen scheme. I hired a carpenter friend of mine to do the work, as simple painting does not work when doing cabinets. I wanted to make sure they would last the wear and tear. He was able to use epoxy to refinish them, making them feel brand spanking new.

So what do you think?

Pretty nice huh? Well, that is just first step. Next was to remove the wall paper border.

Anyone interested in heading to Italy? Wallpaper, I hate. I hate the look, and I hate the long, drawn out process of removing it. Now that the said above wall paper is removed, it is time to paint. I am feeling blue may be a nice fresh color.

This week will be filled with projects, including the never ending living room molding. Have a great week!
