Projects like baby Jack’s nursery!.
Our kitchen has honestly always been pretty enjoyable to be in.The only problem really was that the style was out of date.
The cabinets were great quality custom cabinets, but they were golden oak, which instantly made the kitchen look old.That extra gingerbread trim around the windows really gave it a “straight out of 1992” flare that just wasn’t doing it for us.Still, it was a big kitchen and it functioned well, so we made it work.. It’s really only taken a few pretty minor and inexpensive changes to make it feel like a brand new room and this little cabinet project has definitely played a big part.
We started out by painting all the cabinets a light grey color and that really made a huge difference.The room really brightened right up but we could tell as soon as we finished painting that removing all that extra trim would really make the whole room feel so much more open.
It was one of those jobs that really extended how long this whole project took by a lot, but in the end it was worth it..
So down came all that trim!.“How to Love Your Ugly Kitchen”.
, in which I poked fun at the fact that my kitchen has these bright orange wood cabinets that are.not my thing.. A lot of readers asked me why I didn’t just go ahead and paint my cabinets.
Well, now I am just about ready to get to the project and I CAN’T WAIT!.at the time we had some more pressing projects that needed to be finished first..
