When we bought our house in 2009 we did a complete kitchen renovation…and needless to say, we had little to no idea what a functional kitchen entailed. After living in our house for almost 5 years, there are things we would have done differently, but I am completely in love with our home.
I’m sure that Mark and I are no different than any other couple, or person, in that we have plenty of home projects that could keep us busy for months if we ever started them. Well, a few days ago I got a bug and finally updated our cosmetic cabinets. My Dad, the handiest & most resourceful person I know, transformed the cabinet fronts into working doors and I added the decorative elements.
This project is not finished, (are they ever?) but it is must better from where we started. Inspiration came from various places but mainly from; here, here & here. I can’t be the only one who is doing a house project during this storm…share yours with me!
Roughly what I started with. Tons of holes to patch, sand & paint.
Initially I wanted to add the same color as the adjacent dining room, but the leftover paint had dried. So, being the impatient person I am, I used my next favorite color I had on hand.
Still need a 2nd coat of paint underneath, but I’ve declared this project 75% complete.
Very much a work in progress, but it works!
In an effort to find a permanent home for items, this is a start.
Cherished Instagram prints. At .25 cents a piece, one of my favorite things.
Where Mark & I, (and the kids) and dear friends spend most of our time when we don’t get 13″ of snow, (and when it is above 30 degrees).
A sweet cottage day in Grayling.
Loon Lake, one of our favorite places on Earth.
I do not follow this religiously, but it helps to have an idea of what to feed the fam.
