Diving in

Ready?

I’m painting my kitchen cabinets white.  I know my new years resolution was to obtain a new kitchen floor— so I’m a little off track—but I’ve debated it for almost a year and I’m doing it.  Maybe I was really waiting on the floor so I could paint the cabinets. 

This morning was start day—and I woke up with the biggest knot in my stomach.  At 5:00am no less (when I shoved Stuart into his nest on the floor—compromise).  I feel like I’m getting married again or having my first baby.  Excited but scared to death.  It really could turn out like this: Aaaahhhhhnnnnoooo (about half way down are the before photos)

So I turned to the internets because my confidence was waning and I found two new posts just today on painting cabinets with oils from Centsational Girl—the one I mentioned when I came out about my internet addiction (and  by the way I can still stop at anytime). 

Confidence was restored—I’m off to the paint store. 

The month of March is going to be dedicated to projects, that have been cooking in my brain for a while.  Wish me luck.  A good ‘ol before picture for you.

I was thinking about you today and sending good project vibes! Can't wait to see it! I am so proud of you for being brave and taking the plunge!

Can't wait to see step by step photos!!!! I have this debate on a weekly basis. Whoever thought this light, nondiscript stain on cabinets was a good idea had no creativity!!

I'm pretty certain you will love it! And if not, I will! Then you can paint the walls a fun color and you will motivated to do something crazy like lay your own new tile floor!

Seriously, can't wait.

I'm addicted to the internet too. But I could stop at anytime as well. :)
