So I lied my painting days started WAY back when.... I've been reminiscing..... so I thought i would share my first cabinet make over! Back in 2007! I wish i had a before picture of my old Kitchen, dated cabinets, no knobs, pink counter tops, no back splash... Let me just fill you in on a little secret I sprayed my cabinets with Spray paint (Which now i can't believe i didn't pass out from the paint fumes because i had NO window in my kitchen or bathroom)...
You're probably thinking spray paint??? I actually learned the idea from a guy that paints in my mom's old ward, which had a new home and he had done this to his NEW cabinets and they looked amazing! Oh but what a mess it was, the dust from the spray paint filled the rest of my place with an inch of dust! The clean up was not fun! (I ended up using a darker stain on the edges and cracks and added the knobs as the finishing touch).. As for the counter tops: I then met my amazing and talented husband who worked his magic on getting rid of the pink & he added bead board to the right side of the cabinets to dress them up a bit! AMEN to the happy day of NO pink counter tops! He did a great job! As for the bathroom luckily the counter tops were white, so i just stained the edge to match the cabinets. Sometimes you just have to work with what ya got!!!
