Whistle while you work...

Let's see... I have been nonstop busy trying to finish the kitchen. My wonderful husband helped me and we finished today. I'm SOOO excited with the outcome. Here's the before-

****WARNING-- DISASTER AREA AHEAD ****



Of course, I didn't remember to take a before picture until after we started dismembering the kitchen. I just started taking stuff off the walls and putting it on the counter while my husband so graciously started taping. So, I apologize for the craziness.

Can you see the hideous gold handles shining at you?? I know, the glare is unbearable!!


Here is a sneak peek of the after (not decorated yet!!)


You can take your sunglasses off, the glare is GONE forever!!!



I LOVE LOVE LOVE these new handles. Actually, they aren't "new", but the hideous gold ones I mentioned above. I just took some Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray paint and painted the entire handle...wood and all! Much cheaper than new handles-- new ones were going to be around $70!! So instead, I spend $3 on a can of spray paint and another $3 on spray primer. The result-- LOVE !!

I promise to post more pictures as I complete the kitchen accessories. Wait until you see the treasure my Sis-in-law bought me from Goodwill. SOOOO excited to show you this week...
