New Kitchen!

BEFORE


AFTER

We moved into our house about a year ago. We love our neighborhood and everything, but our house was definitely a step down from where we moved from. We built our first house and we really didn't realize how nice it was to be able to choose your own things and have everything new. When we bought this house... to put it nicely, it was trashed. I don't know what the people who lived here before we thinking, but we seriously had our work cut out for us. We loved the floor plan and did get a really good deal to be able to repaint the ENTIRE house (the walls were DARK brown, pea green and purple) and recarpet and tile the entire house before we moved in. Otherwise, we would not have bought it.

So, it has been a work in progress. After we moved in, we were so sick of painting and everything that we really haven't done anything on the house in about year. (Besides work on the yard... That's a whole other story). But, lately we have really been bugged by a few things in our house. Mainly our kitchen. Our house was built with the cheapest things possible and the cabinets in our kitchen were no exception. They were white-washed oak and had stains and just were really gross. We finally decided to bite the bullet and just restain them. I don't think we really understood what we were getting into... It took us about a week and I don't think I showered the whole time. I think they really look good though!! One thing down... about 50 more to go and the house will really be ours!
