Hooray for Paint

The kids were gone for the last week of July, staying with my parents in Michigan. And while they spent there time going on adventures with Grandma and Grandpa, I was doing a little home maintenance. 

Remember my kitchen?

Well, I was tired of it being all white...so I decided to paint it. Here it is after the first coat.

And here's the finished product.

I only painted the doors, to make it easier to paint back over later. We changed the hardware from yucky white plastic to a nice smooth brushed silver. And just to be clear, I did buy 6 drawer pulls, but somewhere between the orange box and home I misplaced one. It was really annoying...I'm still looking for it. 

I'm really happy with how it turned out. It breaths a little life into our tiny galley kitchen and I've been enjoying it even with the missing drawer pull. (I have yet to get back out to the big orange box)
