DEMO

 We have lived in this house for four years. 

There are things I didn’t like about the kitchen. Things I detested. 

The cabinets. 

They were oak then they ended up getting painted a yucky color and distressed. 

Ugh. 

And then they painted the trim black. The the window trim and door frames brown. 

Double ugh. 

So we are in the process of changing things up.  

This was the current color and cupboard handles.

Cupboard doors off.



Cabinet doors washed and sanded.

Taping and sanding.



First coat of primer.
After washing, sanding and washing again.

The island finally not black!

First coat of primer.


After the island was painted, I decided I didn't want white.
I went with a sage gray color. 





Starting to come together!

Another thing I didn't like about the kitchen was the brown trim around the doors and windows.
So that was next.
And while we are at it.....

Let's cover things back up and paint the ceiling.
It was looking dirty.

So we did

One thing has lead to another to another to another.

And while we are at it.....
Let's do new light fixtures and floors.

Oh mercy!

So the tile will come up.

No more brown trim!


And let's get rid of the ugly backsplash since we are in the middle of all of it!
The backsplash seemed to be put there as an afterthought.
Didn't match anything.


Tomorrow we hope to start painting the walls.

And to think that it was just going to be cabinets!

Wow! So much work but lucky you to have such a hand-dandy man around the house. It will be so worth it. Don't forget to show us the before and after when it's done. It looks so much better already.
Happy Easter
Hugs, Julia
