Kitchen Reveal (almost)

Remember when I said "more to come" on the kitchen cabinet re-do?
Well, here we go...

Nothing like a
new coat of white paint, right?

I have several photos to share, so hang in there.
I really wanted to have the whole kitchen ready for reveal,
however, am not quite there yet.


So this is just one wall of cabinets.
I decided NOT to put the doors back on the top cabinets.
I've always adored the open ones.
And I must admit, I do like it better.


I made this sign out of an old fence board.
Never used the stencils before, and it's an easy project.



I also repainted some old sap buckets, which were red and green.
Then added some special numbers in metallic brown.



I had a hard time deciding whether to put something in the buckets,
or leave empty... I'm sure it will change several times over the next few days :)










It's getting there.
Much better than this:

And best of all, a very inexpensive re-do.
Just one gallon of paint (so far).


Hope this finds you happily getting projects done!

  2. It looks so fresh and new.
    I love the look of the cabinets, it really opens up things. I would have to keep organized for sure to do that. But it sure looks pretty
