OH! By the way!

So when we first moved in here, my dearest darling Jami helped me paint my kitchen cupboards (since she paints her's once every few months she's the expert!) and quite a few of you wanted me to post pictures when we finished. I never did. Did what you ask? Finish? Or post the pictures? Um, both. I put a top coat over it, but used a roller instead of a brush so it didn't look so hot. I asked Scott to slap another coat of paint over it (since this was when I was Madame Barfsalot) but he never got around to it. Well, I decided to do it while he was out of town (Instead of being bitter that he never did it. I'm telling you, #7 friends!) so I put a couple coats of black over it and put the hardware back on (we're such dorks--it's been 5 months and we just now have hardware on our cabinets!) and this is the (almost) finished product. (I say "Almost" because I need probably 2 more coats of red on that wall--it looks splotchy still--and I need to scrape the black paint off the glass!) Anyhoo--here you go. I quite like the black:
And that, Danielle, is what I was doing with my cabinets. ;o)

4 smart remarks:

Love it! I have always wanted black cabinets, next house I suppose. Don't you love waiting around for something to get done?

I can't remember when I painted my cabinets. Seriously, it's been at least 10 years. I still do not have all the hardware purchased and it was cheap. (I wonder if Lowes still carries it) Probably because I had aver 70 knobs to purchase. Anyway, little people, just like big people have trouble getting them open. that is not all that bad at times.
Congratulations!
