Wah-Lah!*

And the secret project is revealed!


Here is the before picture:

Note the water/sun damage on the door. All of the doors looked like this and the kitchen just never felt clean because of it. The cabinets were basically the same color as the floor so it just always felt dark and dirty to me.










And here are the After photos:

The main color is called Khaki Beige - it is the same greenish/beige that is seen throughout the rest of my house - the family room, my bedroom, the medium color in my stripes.

The light color is two shades lighter than Khaki Beige, called Shady White. This is the same color as the ceiling in my bedroom and family room and the lightest color in my stripes.

I am mostly pleased with the results - it has brightened up the kitchen tremendously. I love it! And I got all new knobs and hinges - so no more dark, dirty bronze knobs and hinges, now we have brushed nickle. HOWEVER, if you look closely you'll notice that there are some doors that are not entirely closed - this is not because I'm lazy and don't close the doors - its because they WON'T close! The new hinges don't exactly fit the doors, so now the doors overlap each other by about 1/8" and for the cupboards that don't have 2 doors... they don't close either because the hinges are too loose... I am unhappy with this result, but not sure how to fix it. Eventually I'll call our favorite handymand and have him come out to fix them all.

So isn't it as amazing and fabulous as I told you it was?!!
