Painting Projects





I recently decided to undertake a huge project that I thought would take a day or two but ended up taking 5 days to complete. I painted and glazed my kitchen cabinets. In doing so I learned a lot, most importantly, that I will never do it again. It was a pain in the behind to say the least!!! After the glazing was finished I decided my kitchen had too many light hues of brown so I chose to paint it the dark green that you see. I was very happy with it and loved how it turned out. It made the cabinets stand out way more than before and gave the kitchen the contrast that it needed. I also decided to add some texture to the kitchen and bathroom walls and painted and hung the paneling and moulding. After doing that project, I was surprisingly still in a painting mood so I decided to take down the long curtains I had in my living room and paint it the light yellow to make it a little brighter and lighter in there. I was pleased but very glad to be done. I definetly got my craving to paint out and will not be painting again for a very long time!!!!!!

You are always painting...you did a great job. I wish I was as adventurous as you are with color. I love the new colors. That is too bad about the trampoline. At least you got good use of it while you had it.

Hey there - I hope you don't mind me sneaking a peek at your blog. I love your kitchen!! How much do you charge? HA! I have some bedroom furniture that I DESPERATELY need redone. I'd like it white-washed. Have any tips? Just buy new?? Anyway. So good to keep up with The Littles!
