Our Kitchen

I have been hard at work repainting our kitchen this week. As always, I forgot to get good before pictures, but I did include a couple of the kids in the kitchen just to give an idea of the before....I love the result, but it was a lot of work!

I had to take all of the doors off the cabinets and sand the finish off. Then I primed and then painted them. I had some issues with finding the right place to paint the cabinet doors - a tough job in a small house, and I ended up having to re-do it because it just didn't look good with drips and dog fur. We borrowed Jason's Dad's sander, and that made the job a lot easier, but it couldn't be used everywhere, so I had to do a lot by hand.

These are the best "before" pictures I could gather. I really need to work on taking those before pictures BEFORE I start. :)

Anyway, this was my last "me-time" project before school starts again (tomorrow). I suspect I'll have little free time after reading through the syllabuses (syllabi??) for Sociology and World Literature, which I am taking as online classes (no actual class time!). I will go to "Environmental Biology" and "Foundations in Education" tomorrow, and we'll see what those classes will be like. It's 14 hours total, so it will definitely keep me busy.
