Makeover - Part 1

So it all started a week before Christmas. Yes, I decided it was time to finally paint the kitchen. I know, you're thinking - "is she crazy, this close to Christmas?" Well, apparently I am. However, my sweet husband hired a couple guys to come do it for me - as his Christmas gift to me -what a great Christmas gift. These guys showed up three days before Christmas and had the kitchen and my master bathroom done in one day. Now here it is almost a month later and I'm still trying to get everything put back above the cabinets, but I thought I'd post some pictures before I forget again.


I forgot to take pictures before the guys got started so the "before" pictures are from right before we moved in. Things really didn't change much between then and now - except maybe for a few things on the walls and curtains on the windows. The kitchen has been plain old white and the bathroom was a real light green which I hated from day one but didn't dare change until now.
**Notice the white wall between the upper cabinets and the countertops and also under the stove vent. That will soon change - that just may be makeover part 2.

We like it. Can't wait to see phase 2. The red turned out better than I imagined.
