Old Is New Again

Hal and I, for some crazy reason decided to refinish our kitchen cabinets. Okay, I convinced Hal to do it for me, for a Christmas present. I mean lets get real, Hal only took on the task because he really and truly loves me!

I wasn't super fond of the orange-oaky color that came with the house. It looks so cheap and out-dated.







So after much pleading and convincing. Hal set out to do the deed. And then I got to endure a grumpy hubby, a MESSY -mostly unusable- kitchen and the super task of trying to keep 2 toddlers out of the way. After about a month, I have to say that I am in love with my "new" kitchen! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! It has been worth every penny (only about $75-$100) and the huge annoyance of being in a "mess" for a month!!!

Someday, if I feel super ambitious, I will post a tutorial of how we *Hal* did it.
