So, while my computer has been in the shop, yet again...we've been hard at work on the kitchen. In fact we are for real, almost done!

Before: Old school scroll work with mis-sized baskets (we have added primer though).

During: Removed scroll work painted cabinets "Whitewashed Oak" and we have added wood accent pieces to the plain fronts of the "fake" drawers under the sink.


After: We got a new semi-flushmount pendant light to go over the sink instead of the ugly fluorescent one that was there. Also, I found these darker baskets, that actually fit in the space at Wal-Mart in Charleston (Goose Creek) when we went down for Kristi's baby shower at the beginning of May. We added simple 2 in fascia board for the trim. I am also going to replace the blind with some sort of shade or curtain, I just haven't quite found what I am looking for yet.


Next: We filled the holes the old hardware made on the drawers, painted them and added these new oil rubbed bronze pulls (the color looks a little darker than the actual cabinets, b/c the drawers are sealed and the cabinets are not yet).

Then: We painted all 34 cabinet doors and added colonial molding to all of them to give them some definition and a custom look. Well worth all the work and effort, as you can see!
