I have a real DIY before and after today. Make no mistake....it was not me but a home I decorated about 7 years ago.
I am going to get right to it since I have a lot of explaining to do:)
Let's start with the beginning.
Dark cherry cabinets. Which are fine except there comes a time when you just want a change right?
It all started with this area...
Where the chalk board is.
First thing to do is rip down the board and batten.
Add some electrical. Also notice the fridge as it was not counter-depth and made it tight between the island. That got addressed.
Hanging the ship lap.
This is the set up for the drying of the ship lap which was all painted before installation.
Moving to the main part of the kitchen....
Before....
During...uppers painted with new hood and microwave relocated.
After...bottoms painted!
Before....
The wine cabinet got moved....
Good coffee bar!
So I think you know what I am going to say right....stay tuned for Friday because I will finish up with the best part and all of the details!
Hope you all had a great holiday weekend. We are in Florida doing some cleaning. About as fun as a sharp stick in the eye right?
On the way down Saturday I mentioned to my husband that he might want to keep it close to the speed limit being a holiday weekend and all....
I don't know what it is when men get behind the wheel. I feel like it's a video game and NO car can be in front of us. Cause it's a race right?
Ha.....as the cop was pulling us over I wanted to shout "I told you so" at the top of my lungs....and even say to the nice policeman "I told him to slow down".....but I just chewed my tongue up cause I knew that would make the trip even longer right?
He did not get a ticket....or a warning. That man is lucky because I would have not let that go.....
Last nights desert....
Fried oreo's. Are you kidding me right now?
