It's taken three months, and I don't even know how many hours of painting, but THEY'RE DONE. I'm very pleased with the end result.
The goal was to lighten things up in my otherwise dark kitchen, and I'm happy because I think the white paint job really accomplished that. The only way to really tell the difference (for those of you not actually present in the house) is to see the before and afters, so without further ado...
Remember this bland scene?
I can't get over what a fantastic change that is. I mean, the green walls made a huge difference in terms of adding some personality, but even if you look at how it was with the green walls and the natural-wood cabinets, it still was pretty dark.
I still haven't made a final decision on leaving the two open cabinets on or off. I like the idea aesthetically, and functionally it's been great too, to have such easy access to all the stuff in those cabinets. Just not 100% sure yet, so I'll probably sit with it for a few more days and try it out the other way too before making a decision. I mean, hey, it's waited this long, it can probably stand a few more days of indecision.
So there you have it. Probably the last big renovation I'll do to the kitchen until I have enough money to tear everything out and start over. Except for the overhead light. And the dishwasher. Okay, maybe spoke too soon. Sigh...
