This week while Curtis was out of town I took on a huge project of giving my oak kitchen cabinets a makeover. It was A LOT of work!Lucky for me I had lots of help. Thank you to all my girl friends who are better with a drill than I!
Here they are before the big overhaul.
This is all I can remember form this week, rolling and painting for hours on end. The rest is a blur.
My little brother who is still in post missionary service mode helped me for hours and hours. I enjoyed spending time with him and chatting and reintroducing him to cafe
rio and
Costco hot dogs on our lunch breaks.
Curt's dad John took three of my cupboard doors and gave them new glass fronts, I think they turned out so beautiful! He is so handy and I glad to have his handiwork around my house.
My boring sort of out of place bread box got a touch of blue with a chalkboard front, now I love it. Who could not be happy with a blue bread box around?
Some of the other glass fronts John put in. I love being able to see my blue dishes and my prized tea pot.
I left the very top cabinets exposed so I could have some of my serving bowls and platters out to see. Overall it was a long hard project but I am so glad to have done it. One of the best things about buying
Curt's grandparents house is knowing how happy it would make them that we love their house and that we try to make happy memories in it.
