Oh my, I wonder what kind of creepos I am gonna get with that title?!!!

I was going to come up with another title, but I couldn’t find another one that quite captured what I was feeling than the one above.

I am sick and tired of waiting.

And making excuses.

I’m gonna put my big girl panties on and do it!!!

What am I gonna do, you ask?

I’m going to break down and paint my kitchen cabinets!

It was the first thing we said we were going to do when we bought this house.

They are dark.

And ugly.

And oh-not-so-cottage-y.

But when we decided to start building the addition onto our home, well let’s just say that I lost the "umph" to paint those cabinets.

We are already living in a construction zone, so why would I want to add even more mess to the whole thing. 

But now I am saying, why not?

I feel those cabinets taunting me every time I walk into the kitchen.  "Nanny, nanny, boo, boo, We’re the color of doo, doo."

Yep, they say that.

Well, no more my friends!

The time has come!

I am going to cover those brown old cabinets in layers of glorious white paint with the halleluiah chorus singing in the background!

And I cannot wait!

So far, I have removed the cabinet doors because I am planning on creating some open shelving.

The cabinet shelves have this  “beautiful" blue contact paper on them (that I have already removed.)

I’ve emptied the shelves out, and I am headed to Lowe’s tomorrow to get the paint supplies.

I am going to do this!!!

I am KNOW I will be so glad that I did. 

Especially before the holidays. 

 

Please feel free to cheer me on!  Pep talks are welcome!!

 

Thanks!
