My Castle in the Kingdom of God

Our kitchen project today

I am so excited that I had to upload and share the pictures with you all of our kitchen remodeling project today.

Here is what the cabinets used to look like white with green ivy at the top.

My wonderful DH is sanding off all of the old yucky paint and the horrid ivy

I thought I would give it a try but I only got one done because it made my hands feel all fuzzy and numb.

Now I have masked the cabinet door and am painting the recessed area the cinnamon toast color.  I really like it at this stage even though it isn't completely finished.

While I was masking and painting the upper cabinets my DH was painting the second coat of the door trims.

Several hours later we started puting the drawers and door back on. Here is my DH working on the lower doors under the sink.

And here are the finished upper cabinets.  The lower cabinets do not have the recess and are just the lighter color as are all the drawers.  I will be adding door pulls and new drawer pulls in another few days.

Thanks for allowing us to share our new kitchen with you all.  We had fun taking the pictures and painting all day.
