A Sneak Peek at My Kitchen Make-Over!!


The holidays are almost here and we are jazzing up the
house for company on Christmas day!!

As you may remember, Andrew was in and
out of the hospital most of last year and we could
not entertain any friends or family in our home.

This year we are  looking forward to hosting the holidays
with a new, vibrant decor that will include:

a kitchen make-over,
a bathroom facelift and
stairway re-do

AND... a NEW FLOOR for the entire downstairs!
Halleluiah!


THE KITCHEN

We have been giving our 20-year-old kitchen a make-over
since the summer. We only have the weekends, so it is slow going.

I have distressed the doors with a brown glaze and stenciled
them with a bronze acrylic paint and a stencil from the
clearance section at AC Moore.

Corner Cabinet With Fabric Lining
The cabinets with glass-paned doors get a pretty fabric
pasted to the back with liquid starch. I edged the fabric to
give it a clean look with black ribbon applied with a glue gun.
Andrew added the light to accent my favorite china & glass
pieces once the wood shelves are replaced with beveled
glass he is having cut for me.

Pantry Cabinets
Distressed & Stenciled Doors
More Soon!
