I'm very happy with the way the color progression around the room worked out - subtle, yet exciting.
I still need to finish the "garage" half of the room. Dreaming of clean (and hidden!) storage systems....

A Long Time Coming
I've officially reached the halfway point in the kitchen repainting project. If I'd known what a huge job it was going to be, I might not have started in the first place. Now, the "work" half of the room is done and looking so fine! Talk about "sow's ear to silk purse"... some spackle, a LOT of sanding, and several coats of paint transformed our 45-year-old craptastic cabinets into something fresh and appealing. The final touch was to exchange the dated, cheap knobs for some sleek retro pulls.

Your kitchen is looking so cheery...I can just picture you whistling and skipping while you cook.
Congratulations Kate!

Perhaps it seems like this will never end, but it will one day, and YOU will have done it with your own creativity and your own two hands!!
Bravo~ KEEP up the fabulous work!

Hi Kate!
I've missed you---you're really crankin on that jewelry.
This kitched looks GOOOOOD!
I'm amazed at what you did with the old cabinets. Man---it's daunting to see a wall full of ugly sometimes, isn't it? Actually, YOURS isn't ugly, MINE is. I just I can do half this much with a makeover.
My favorite part is the color gradations on the cabinets. What a great idea!
