Our kitchen

BEFORE



AFTER




Whew! Has it been so long since I posted an entry! Things have been a little busy. Here is a little preview of our house here in Michigan.

No other rooms are ready for an "unveiling". This is probably the room that I'm most excited about - simply because of the difference in the look from when we moved in last week. I can't take much credit other than picking out the colors and painting the island. My wonderful in-laws helped us move in and between the two of them - they got this project completed!

I don't know if the previous owners were planning on doing anything or not - he's been a painter - and did a great job of painting everything else. I'm just going to assume that they hadn't gotten to the cabinets yet.

The kitchen is probably from the 60's or 70's by looking at the cabinets and stove. The dishwasher, fridge and floor have obviously been replaced. We've already put in a lot of $$ to repair the garage roof(that cracked and caved in when the roofers were taking off the shingles), ordered a sectional and bought a new mattress set so we can put a bed in the guest room(hint, hint). Getting new cabinets and counters and stove are not an option for several years. At least I can live with it now.

More pictures will be coming in the future - I promise!

It's amazing what a little paint can do to dated cabinets. Love it! I'm quite partial to all blues. Enjoy decorating the other rooms!
