Refinishing the kitchen cabinets

On our initial visit to look at our future home, I began to see this house through the eyes of Chip and Joanna Gaines. Mentally, I wrote down the things I would like to do to make this house our home. The first thing was to repaint the kitchen cabinets. I thought my husband can do this because he has done this before to one of our other homes. What I didn't take into consideration was he hates to paint and that he works 70 hours at week. However, he did agree.

My knight in shining armor took on this task before we moved in with high hopes he could finish the project in just a matter of a couple of weeks. Then came a back injury that halted pretty much everything.  He is healing slowly but surely and the refinishing will begin again soon:)

The oak cabinets before the repainting began.  You may say, I like cabinets.  What's wrong with them?  Nothing unless you want to update your kitchen and make it look larger.  An alley kitchen can only look so large so repainting the cabinets is one way to visibly make the area seem larger and I love the looks of white cabinets.

The cabinets are coming along just great.  A sincere "thank you" to my dear husband who has done a marvelous job and updating our cabinets and has put in A LOT of hard work and hours.  Just a couple more doors and this side of the kitchen will be done.

Counter tops and a back splash are next on the list for this handy kitchen.  So excited to be in this house.
