Kitchen Makeover Before & After Photos
After much time, I've decided to give in and post on my kitchen makeover progress. I successfully painted the kitchen cabinetry, Tim installed the flooring, we painted the walls, and purchased bead-board. We have yet to complete the bead-board and trim installation, but our progress is satisfying and enjoyable to see. So, please enjoy!
The details of my kitchen makeover materials can be found by following my Kitchen Makeover Link
Before & After:
Waiting for the makeover:
Cleaning and Prepping:
Original flooring, and my broken oven (it's still waiting for retirement).
Ready to be primed:
A few coats of Primer:
A few coats of Butter Yellow Inside:
Future work includes replacing these panels with white Bead-Board
I lightly spray painted the hardware 'antique white' to allude a distressed look:
Original hardware, with a new look.
I hadn't noticed before the makeover, but the handles are Fleur de Lis.
Butter Yellow walls
Cabinet makeover Complete!
Since the painting of the cabinetry, the flooring has been layed, and the existing trim painted white. We will be mounting base board as soon as the weather permits our working outside with the saw's.
The countertops will be replaced completely. I like butcher block, Tim prefers stone. Once again, to be continued...
Come home soon!

Hands to Work, Hearts to God
A Shabby Little Pumpkin Patch
These are the cutest idea I've come across all season! I found the free pattern at Schlosser Design and could hardly wait to pick out some Shabby Sweet fabric.
I chose some adorable pink polka dot fabric that was on sale at Jo-Anne's.
Just to prove how easy this is:
I don't sew.
I don't know how to sew.
I sewed these.
They turned out cute.
Point stated.
I was so inspired by the sense of accomplishment I gained from these cute little punkins that I tried my hand at the ruffled pillow you see in the background (also polka dotted).
I just love these and can hardly wait to get to work on expanding my very own
Shabby Little Pumpkin Patch.
and as always,
I recommend giving some away!
Come Home Soon,
