I couldn't take it any more. I looked at my Brady Bunch kitchen and I just snapped!
Andy and I have started to look into a kitchen re-do. But... it's more money than we thought so for now we have to live with Carol Brady---sort of. After I realized I couldn't have the kitchen of my dreams yet, I decided to have the "it's ok for now" kitchen.
I went in to see if that icky striped wallpaper would be hard to peel off. I pulled a little corner and it came off easily. I wondered if that was a fluke or not since every other time I've had to peel wallpaper it was a nightmare, so I peeled a little more. Before I knew it, all the wallpaper was in a pile at my feet. Woo Hoo! No more icky stripes. Then it hit me. More yellow was underneath. Ugh.
So... I decided I would paint. I painted the walls a nice, neutral khaki color. Oh. Nice clean walls made my old brown cabinets look really awful. So.... Out came the white paint. Fresh paint made our handles look disgusting. So... Back to Home Depot for new handles. Ok. So my little moment of wondering "what if" has turned into a full out project. I'm midway along. I think it's really shaping up. What do you think?
I haven't been able to decide if I'm working on photos between coats of paint or painting between photo jobs. ; ) I'm not gonna lie. I need encouragement. I'm running out of steam. It's a lot bigger project than I expected but I'm trying to power through it in the next few days. Wish me luck! Here's a little before and "almost" after action for you.
