The past few weeks have been somewhat crazy. We’ve been working tirelessly on the cabinets. Or, at least when we have time to!
The last I left you, Andy was installing the lights in our kitchen. Here is the finished product!
Seven halogen can lights line the lower part of the ceiling, and in the middle is this awesome light fixture. If it looks familiar, it’s because you may have seen it somewhere else in the house. There were two of these giants hanging above the sinks in the master bathroom. Now there is only one. It still hangs a bit too low for the kitchen, but we’re going to try to pull it up higher.
Then it was on to sanding and painting the cabinets. For the inside’s Andy mixed a white paint with Kilz, in order to prevent mildew and make the surface easier to clean.
For the outside we picked the neatest shade of green. I know green is not the typical color of your kitchen cabinets, but I absolutely LOVE them!
Andy also distressed them by sanding and another process that he wants to keep secret. :)
We’ve been working on them outside in the sweltering heat. The cabinet above was thanks to sweat dripping all over me last Saturday. It was worth the effort though!
Yesterday Andy worked on putting a few of the upper cabinets in.
Can you believe it’s the same kitchen?
We hit a little snag halfway through when we realized that the cabinets did not match up right. Turns out the walls are not exactly level. I know, crazy huh? So, Andy’s going to fix that later…no pictures yet.
I told Andy that the weird angles were making me feel like I was in Grandfather’s Mansion at Silver Dollar City.
He said that we bought Grandfather’s Mansion.
Maybe we did. But I like it!
