    After coming back from a week vacation my wife decided she had finally had enough of our 80's tastic brown plastic Kitchen. So I spent my July 4th weekend priming and then painting the cabinets & doors and painting the walls near the cabinets.

    Looks much better and should allow for a respite before a total redo in a few years.

    The best thing about Facebook is that I'm not on it.

    Hopefully this works. The first pic was from the day we bought the house. The drapery looking thing above the sink was removed a split second after we walked in after signing the papers. But the rest was still there.

    Mmmm... Country Style.

    Huge improvement and nice work!

    When we moved in, I left all the horrible drapes to help motivate me. Unfortunately, that had the opposite effect and over time I grew accustomed to them. Oops.

    We left ours too... However we painted before we even moved in. It was easier without a bunch of stuff in the way.
