Kitchen Transformation

Kitchen Makeover!! 

One of the reasons I wanted to start a blog was because I've done a ton to my townhouse that I bought last year and wanted to be able to document the changes. I bought a wonderful 1400 sq ft townhouse end unit that is about 10 years old and pretty much no updates besides some flooring. Challenge accepted. Now because I didn't know I was going to start a blog I didn't document my process very well and wish I could give huge shout outs to the blogs that helped me along the way. All I have now are these wonderful pictures!!

Here is the before picture of the kitchen, oak cabinets, no hardware, no style. I save you the pain of having to see the fluorescent light that was there as well. 

First thing first, priming. Sanding and priming. This process was miserable and tough to do considering my house doesn't have a garage. The problem with painting and priming outside is the wind blows all kinds of crap onto the cabinets while they are drying. Not ideal but I made the best of it. 

This was definitely a process, as you can note the bottle of wine on the island. I basically did the cabinets in two phases, upper and lower. Here you can also see the wall color we picked... chalkboard paint! 

And here we see the addition of hardware, man I am so happy to not have my hands all over the cabinets anymore! And next we have... 

The final project!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! So happy to finally have this project complete after a grueling three weeks and countless cuss words. So proud to have done this makeover all by myself and it come out so wonderfully! 

All in all this project only cost me one gallon of paint, one gallon of primer, blue painters tape and hardware. Easily done under $100. Go me!
