Have been busy giving our kitchen a facelift. I would have loved some new cupboards but am happy with new work tops, new hob and stove and prep bowl. Our original wooden cupboards had yellowed with age so I have painted them. My DH was very apprehensive about the whole thing and when I suggested two different colours he was not happy. I have done all the painting myself (DH a very messy painter) and I am thrilled with the result. I am being taken out to supper tonight :))

You have done an excellent job, it has probally lightened your room up, although the photo is kind of dark. I know you wanted a change, but I really like the natural wood tones in the 1st photo too-Toogie

Thank you Toogie. I had originally 'washed' the natural wood with white paint. It had yellowed so much over the years that something had to be done. I am really enjoying my 'new' kitchen.

Nice Job! Looks so fresh and clean! Suzanne

Thank you Suzanne. I have cleaned every cupboard out and thrown away a heap of stuff. DH cannot find anything at the moment. LOL.

Sarah, you did a great job. Well done. I was not so brave, had mine redone as well. Hugs Yvonne

Thank you Maria.

Well Sarah, I have to say that you have done an excellent job. I do like those pastel colours also. Oh, just one thing..............is that a paint run just to the left of the new oven? No, sorry, it's just the shadow from the oven handle...............lol

Pay for my flight and I am there. LOL.

Next time I need some help with renovation I will call you and ask you to come Sarah :o)
You did a great job and isn't it satifying when you have done it and it looks so good? And you have done it all on your own? You can give yourself a pat on your back (also for being brave and take two colors even your hubby was not convinced with your colors).
Greetings, Bettina
PS: I have a mix of blue-green fronts with stainless stelle and birch ;-)

All my own work and YES I have given myself a pat on the back. Now you can see why my sewing has taken a back seat.
