There should be a support group for people who DIY home renovations.
Specifically for those who have ever refinished their kitchen cabinets. Furthermore, this group of people should receive a medal. Those of you who have done this know exactly what I'm talking about. If I never paint another cabinet for the rest of my life I will die a happy woman.
I've never explained to you that I have 45 cabinets in my kitchen. Yes, you read that right 45! Go in your kitchen and count, I'm sure I have more. Add in all of the drawers and that makes 54. Do you see now why I need a support group? Plus we are doing a few extra things to some of the cabinets like adding glass to 7 of them. I'm also spray painting the hinges and buying new hardware.

Oh yeah, and we have a 2 year old and a 6 month old.
Good times.....good times....
We will forever remember,"..that time we painted the cabinets...good lord, I hope we never have to do that again."
However I wanted to give you a sneak peek at how it's coming along.
Still have a bit more to do, hopefully I can reveal it sometime this year....
Happy Monday!

i had to count. i have 29. and i'm very thankful since the cabinets are so ugly. :o) can't wait to see what you've done to your kitchen. i need inspiration for my own kitchen cabinets...our current cabinets aren't exactly paint friendly. :o(
ReplyDeletephew, i counted and i am not even close to 45. ;) i can't wait for the big reveal!
ReplyDeleteand i have only ever been to the atlanta airport.
You do have a lot of cabinets! It's looking beautiful Kathleen! That is a huge project but once you're done you will feel such a feeling of accomplishment! I can't wait to see it all finished.
ReplyDeleteThat's a boatload of cabinets. We're planning on painting our delightful honey oak kitchen cabinets this spring. You should totally start a support group-- I'm sure I'll need it.
ReplyDeleteI see that you're going to Haven. So am I!
I can't wait to see the finished product. We painted our cabinets white about 7 years ago and whenever I suggest to my husband that we do some touch-up, I'm met with pained sobs and moaning. Haha! Total pain BUT totally worth it!
ReplyDeleteI'm your newest follower!

You're totally right. We should start a cabinet refinishers support group right away. :) We were fortunate to not have any where near as many as you do though, and it was still a thorn in my side. Crazy as it is I am actually considering doing them over again. I love how they turned out, and they completely updated our kitchen, but now I wish the difference in our wall and base cabinets was more significant, rather than just a few shades. We'll see what happens with that though. So, when's the first meeting?
