Kitchen Makeover

Projects, projects, projects! I feel like that has been the motto for our family this year. It's good, though. We knew when we bought our house that there were going to be lots of little projects. Anyway, this past week has been a "kitchen" week. Ty had Veteran's Day off and decided the night before that it would be a good day to start refinishing our kitchen cabinets! I took these "before" pictures awhile ago, but you'll get the jist of it:


And the "after" pictures:



The pictures are a little dark (we finished at 9:45 last night), but I'm sure you can tell it's a huge difference. We used a gel stain that was very forgiving and easy to work with and added beautiful new hardware. We're so happy with it. The kitchen was a disaster for a week, but it was so worth it!

You've inspired me that maybe we could do a little change of our own in our kitchen. I love the dark cabinets. They are beautiful!
