Kitchen redo

This is what my kitchen use to look like!

This was suppose to be our 5 year house,

9 years later we are still here.

So I decided to take the plunge and redo my kitchen to match 
the rest of my house.

I had some one come out and give me an estimate

to paint the cabinets and it was going to be over 3500. 00!

So I decided to do it myself.

I used Anne Sloan chalk paint in 

Old White.

I put on 2 coats of paint,

distressed them around the edges

and added clear wax.

I then had a professional remove the panels of 3 of my doors.

And add glass.

It took me a day and a half to finish,

and only

3 quarts of paint!

I love chalk paint

I use it all the time. 

But I really love the look of it on my cabinets!

I wish I would have done this a long time ago.

I finally feel like my kitchen goes with the rest of my house.

Here is a peak at my cake plate collection.

It coast me under 400.00 to do this.

I still need to get hardware, but I saved us 

3000.00 to do this myself,

So I might splurge a little bit on the hardware.
