Kitchen Cabinets

Our kitchen cabinets have been in need of a facelift for quite sometime. We went the budget friendly route of sanding and painting the fake wood cupboards a nice glossy black with the hopes that they would look fresh, clean, and a bit more modern. I AM NOT a crafter/do-it-yourself/project kind of girl...but after a few days of work, with Kaleb leading the way, we were happy with the results.

Here are the before shots...(I didn't think to grab the camera until we had started sanding. The first two are after a bit of sanding...but the third is just with the knobs removed.)

Close up of before and after of one cupboard...the before was really before sanding too!

After shots...


For a tiny little kitchen there were 20 cupboard faces and three drawers! Lots of storage...but what a ton of work!

The process took a lot longer than we had anticipated, however it turned out much better than we had expected.

We are now well into week 27 and almost done with the 2nd trimester.
I really do feel better than my face looks in this picture!
