One Project Down…

Having this blog is great for keeping me motivated to finish projects that I’ve told everyone about. I finished the kitchen cupboards today, a few days before I truly expected to.

Here’s what they looked like before:

It’s not as if the cupboards were ugly or bad, but they take up that whole wall. I wanted to make more of a display feature out of this set.

Here’s what they looked like when I took the doors off:

My husband wasn’t impressed. I told him that this wasn’t the end product but he couldn’t see my vision. Even he is fairly impressed with how they came out in the end.

I love being able to see all my pretty glassware at a glance. And I love how the colors of the goblets really pop with the light colored paint framing them.

All in all I’m really happy with how this project came out. I had planned to put glass doors on these cabinets but I’m not in a big hurry for them now.

While I was waiting for paint to dry in the cabinets, I also got the drywall in the bathroom repaired.

Now that all of the walls are prepped, I’ll be working on painting the bathroom this week. I hope I don’t run into any unexpected surprised (a nice name for a setback!)

    I love your goblets! What a difference with the bright backdrop! If I had glassware like that, I would take my cupboard doors off, too.

    LOL – I totally agree :)
