Kitchen Cabinets

We moved into this house in May.  Since the day I stepped inside, I wanted new kitchen cabinets, on top of several other hundred things.  Do you know how expensive new kitchen cabinets are?  You probably do, I didn't.  After learning how expensive the whole moving process is, we knew very quickly that our check-list of things would all have to be put on hold - new carpet for the downstairs, fireplace make-over, painting (which we did do), bathroom vanity, deck washed/stained, furniture, etc. etc. etc...

After deciding to tackle the kitchen cabinets ourselves, we are quite pleased.  And proud!

Before...

In process...

Sand, prime, sand, prime, sand, paint, paint, paint!

The make-shift stand to spray the nails.   Do not knock this over!

All painted, black.

Spray-painted the hinges also, we couldn't find any new ones that would line up with the existing holes...
so why re-drill?  By the way, this spray handle costs about $3 (or less), and is worth every penny.  

Ta da...

The funny part of this story is that it took us over a month to do the upper cabinets.  We worked on them after the kids were in bed, but often took several days off in between.  Then...once they were up, we pulled off a Christmas miracle and completed the bottom set in 5 days...before we had a houseful of guests for the Holidays.

Next up...maybe a backsplash?   Countertops?  I know...never content.
