Kitchen progress painted cabinets

Apologies for not checking in all week, but our kitchen remodel is kicking my butt {literally}!

I don't know if it's normal to be sore from head to toe from painting kitchen cabinets, but yep I am! It took me two long days of priming and painting, but our kitchen cabinets are now painted and look AMAZING! 

There are a million and one tutorials out there for painting cabinets so I'm not going to bore you with the details. I'm not going to lie to you either, painting cabinets SUCK! On the flip side it is so worth all the work because it makes such a HUGE difference.

Our kitchen was a crazy mess for most of this week. Since it's cold outside all the painting had to be done indoors. Our kitchen had doors and drawers all over the place.

I used Zinsser Bulls Eye primer because it sticks to just about anything.

For paint I used Behr silky white in a semi gloss finish.

Here's a little peek at how the cabinets turned out. Still have to wait a couple weeks for our new counter tops to arrive so you'll have to wait just a bit longer to see the whole kitchen.

Feeling relieved that all the major things are done. 

Construction and mess...check.

Paining cabinets...check.

New appliances...check.

New pantry...check.

Lot's of little details to complete still, but so HAPPY!

Have a great weekend!

Kitchen remodel progress

We are officially one week into our kitchen remodel and things are moving along quickly. Monday I shared the pantry side of our kitchen and today I am going to show you the other side of the room.

This is what our kitchen looked like last Thursday. Clean, simple and BORING!

We were thrilled to remove the old white appliances and install new one's last Friday!

We removed the small upper cabinet above the microwave and replaced it with a much larger one.

My husband added crown molding to the cabinets and built a cornice box for above the window.

My plan for today is to do touch up paint on the kitchen walls and this evening we are ordering our new counter tops.

Hopefully this weekend my husband can finish the inside of our new pantry. Right now our dining room is doing double duty as a pantry and there are boxes and canned goods everywhere!

Enjoy your weekend!
