Kitchen Cabinet Fun

One morning I woke up and decided that we should paint our kitchen cabinets all the same color.  We've been talking about it for awhile, but I haven't really wanted to have white cabinets because they show dirt.  I changed my mind.  This after we'd been discussing how we need to finish our ceiling project.  We did the living room and kitchen last year about this time and we need to do the bedrooms.  But in my mind, in that moment, I decided that we should do the kitchen cabinets first.  One reason being I thought it would be a quick project.  Little did I know that it would require 4 coats of primer and 2 coats of the actual paint!

The fun begins...I've been priming for a day and it's still not over.  There is lots of dry time between coats that I didn't think of when I thought that this project would just take a day or two!

Finally, the project comes to an end 5 days later!  Not the greatest photo, but it shows the end product.  I am excited to have knobs on the doors and drawers.  Hopefully, that will help so we won't have lots of dirt/grease smudges where we open the doors and drawers.  We are still recuperating from the project, but soon we will begin our ceiling project.
