Kitchen Project

Holy cow.... this past year has been a whirlwind! However, when summer comes around things tend to slow down and Andrew and I are able to revisit projects in the house. This time around we -more like me- have decided to take on painting all our cabinets.

When we first moved in we decided to start with a bathroom vanity to test the color, process, etc. before taking on such a large project. After completing the bathroom I decided I wanted to move forward with the kitchen but knew it would be a bigger time commitment so like anything else- I procrastinated... until today. 

I had slowly started to do our master bathroom and finally told Andrew I needed to finish it up so we can finally put everything back together. Especially since come August there will be essentially no time to do ANYTHING. 

Our plans for today initially included a bike ride, trip to the pool, and making ribs. But with the rain the first two were out of the picture and we suddenly had a day with nothing planned. Now for Andrew, this is his kind of day. Sit in front of the TV. Watch ESPN. A couple movies. He would be in his glory. For me, that would drive me up a wall. So I decided there is no better time than the present and the kitchen painting began. 

Now, I am nowhere near finished but actually remembered to take some before photos to share. My hope {fingers crossed} is to finish up priming this week/weekend and move on to painting next week/weekend. 



I've told Andrew after the cabinets are done we can work on doing some of the other projects (i.e. backsplash, counter tops, updating ALL appliances to stainless steel, WOOD FLOORING) but I know those are a little down the road. For those who have seen photos of our kitchen before you'll notice one of the appliances is not what it used to be... we FINALLY got a new dishwasher! 

I think I finish ever blog post saying I hope to continue but as things get crazier it's usually the first to go. I love that people follow enough to ask for a post... wink wink STEPHANIE!... so I'm hopeful I carve out time to keep up on sharing happenings in our life. Even if it is just what we had for dinner! 

Until next time! :)
