Here is what I have been working on for a few months now. Just a little preview of what I have been slaving over since July or August of last year.
I have been slowly stripping all the cabinets of three layers of paint. Brown, white and hot pink paint to be exact, Yes the former owner actually had their cabinets painted hot pink at one point..... I don't really know what to say about that... It has been a tedious task but it seems to be paying off. We plan on staining them a dark red-brown to match the color of our dining table.
We also decided on a new plan to put up floating selves and a range hood. So we took the microwave down with all the cabinets on that wall.
The cabinets look great and I can hardly wait to start staining them, but I think I might get them all stripped and sanded before staining any of them. We will see though I'm already getting anxious to see how they look. These two cabinets might get stained sooner than later so I can get them re-hung. I also think I am going to paint the interior of the cabinets. These two specific cabinets will have glass fronts for our "bar area". I am also thinking of putting a mirror in the back of each one with glass shelves. I think that the mirror would really help brighten the kitchen by reflecting the light from the window.
