This past weekend we got back to work on our kitchen...yeah! Hubby took off the cabinet doors off of all the upper cabinets and started sanding them. I then applied the primer. We will now have to do about 3 coats of the cream paint and then I will apply the glaze. We will finish them with a polyurethane sealer in satin. Alot of work, but I'm happy to see that orangy oak color go away!
What do you store in the cabinet above your refrigerator? I stored medicines above mine (cough syrups, cold medicine, aspirin, etc...) and boy was it a mess up there. I figured it would be better and easier to put all the medicines in a basket. So off to wal-mart I went to buy baskets. Now instead of having to get a chair to stand on to find what we are looking for in that cabinet, all we have to do is pull the basket down and pull out whatever we need. Much easier & organized! I think I like the look of the baskets up there so think I will forgo putting the cabinet doors back up. Of course, we will have to paint the inside of the cabinet and plug the holes where the door hinges were, but I think it will add some interest to the wall of cabinets. What do you think??
(excuse the blue painter tape)
Another area that I'm thinking of adding baskets instead of doors is above the microwave. I think it would balance it out by having baskets there as well. What do you think?
(don't look at the mess)
We did get the pantry door finished and installed.
Here is the color of the paint on the walls. It is Sherwin Williams Clary Sage. I think it looks better in person.
Well I better go get to painting those cabinet doors!
Have a great day!
