It has always been a dream of mine to paint our golden oak cabinets. I thought Joe would NEVER let me do this. He surprised me with a birthday gift of "you can get quotes." Weeellllll.... quotes were a "tad" higher than we anticipated but he still let me do it (happy b-day, happy anniversary, merry christmas and maybe happy b-day again!). We also painted the living room and touched up a lot of the existing white trim. It was looking pretty beat up in the high traffic areas.... like the whole kitchen.
On to the pictures! They were all taken with my phone with not great lighting but, you get the idea.

The fantastic Glennon over at Momastery posted THIS while all the painting was being done. If you have a minute, read it. Pretty much goes against exactly what I did but, I included Kam in the "improved" shot for that reason :)

A progress shot... it was a BIG project. Took 2 weeks! I timed it while my parents were traveling and needed me to stay at the farm with their old "farm dog" (aka an indoor dog that spends some time outside). He barks at EVERYTHING he hears when in the city so it doesn't work to bring him to our house.
