What a sweet guy to do all that work for you!! I like the backsplash and counters better with the white and I'm sure it is much brighter in the room now. This is what I need!

I only said how gorgeous they are, so I am back to add praise where praise is due! You have done so much to your home that makes it so special! What a joy it must be for Cindy to have someone like you who cares as much as she does. That isn't always the case..as you probably know. You are both very fortunate people to have one another. <br />MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-46394690269210583962013-09-24T07:34:42.845-05:002013-09-24T07:34:42.845-05:00Looks really good.

My cabinets are very dark oak and just beautiful but the kitchen has NO windows..just a counter that faces windows across the family room...so white cabinets would be so nice..but..PH does not see it my way..and since I like both looks, I will leave them as is. What a beautiful face lift. I did, however, find my dream kitchen in a magazine lately. I will have to post it and I am anxious to see what you think! :)<br />big hugs,<br />MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-67102494554389751652013-09-19T18:20:21.289-05:002013-09-19T18:20:21.289-05:00Amazing difference.

You sure don't want to have to paint again any time soon. My builders grade cabinets (oak) need a makeover. This is the best idea I have seen yet. (at least in my price range.

What should I clean them with to remove all the old kitchen grime that you can't get with everyday cleaning? Also where online did you get the hardware? You can pm me if you wish, I live alone and on ss so I really need to save where I can. I promise I won't skimp on the paint though. :) <br />I think you should also do the pom pom curtains in your eating nook too. The checkereds look too dark now.

I'm curious about how the cabinet boxes were preped for the paint. Were they completely sanded then primed? Would you share your source for the handles?I love them and they would blend right in at our cabin in the mountains. It has ugly old knotty pine cabinets that are worn and dated. That green on your walls reminds me of Fiestaware medium green or sage green which is what I'm thinking of putting on those cabinets at some point.
