The painting is DONE and I got the new hardware installed!!
If this doesn't make you wanna moon-walk...I don't know what will! ;)
Before: My country kitch. Eeek!
After. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I am officially in love with my kitchen. I can't even tell you the calm that comes over me when I enter it now. I feel so grounded & peaceful. :D I'm pretty sure my food tastes better & it even looks better when its messy.
Before, before. :)
(The white cabinet was installed just before I painted)
After...
Here is a close up of the hardware. I bought a couple different ones from a few different stores. I ended up liking these the best. Thank you Ikea. :)
Just Before I sanded, primed & painted...
After. :D
The Isle before. Notice the exposed hinges.
The Isle after. :D
This is what the new hinges look like installed. They are inset on the inside of the door so now you can see better why I had to drill the holes on a drill press.
Beautifully concealed hinges, how I love thee.
I can't say how happy I am to have this huge piece of the project done!! I am looking for new kitchen lights and going to buy a stainless steel panel to put on my dishwasher so it matches my microwave & fridge. I am also looking for window coverings for the bay window & kitchen nook. Then, we still have to mud & tape part of a wall by my sink. Eventually, I want to install glass tile (probably a crystal blue color) as a backsplash but probably not for a little while. Our master bathroom is having some issues that need attention so that is the next project. :D
Enjoy the pictures and I'd love to fix ya'll somethin to eat in it sometime, so come on over! :D

Wow! That is all I can say. You did such an amazing job. I really want to move closer to you so you can help me fix my house. People pay 50k plus for something that great. You'd cut me a deal right... Love you girl. You always have amazed me with your style.
