Your hard work definitely paid off. <br /><br />I'm going with Michelle on the kitchen cabinets. Finished ours about three weeks ago and they were a bear! Everything I read/researched made it look so easy, quick, painless. Ha, Ha! I love them so they were worth it...if only I could get up the gusto to do the bathrooms.

Since I'm married to a painter, he tends to have left overs that get used around here. BUT I won the color war with our bathroom cabinets. He swore that we could just use a spray paint, but I didn't want that bluish gray. The gray I wanted was more yellowish. We happened to have a spare drawer front to test... All I'm going to say is that sampling the color is the way to go...Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13318473351223372435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177702759920770590.post-4364765964164937812011-10-26T07:58:51.737-07:002011-10-26T07:58:51.737-07:00It looks gorgeous!

Paint...Nice! I enjoyed Nate's comment as well.<br /><br />Painting my cabinets has gone from what I thought might be an intensive two week project to more of a two month project :(. I just have to keep reminding myself how great it will look when it is all done...michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617050750444837628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177702759920770590.post-85580130889538830942011-10-26T06:08:06.873-07:002011-10-26T06:08:06.873-07:00That's one nice lookin' deck you got there...That's one nice lookin' deck you got there. I'm jealous-- we have a porch but it's concrete. I always think decks look nicer! I too love home improvement projects and am sad that we are currently renting, because I am not allowed to even paint :(<br /><br />Right now I am trying to figure out a way to save this very tall potted plant in my living room from being destroyed by my 9 month old. (there are no other rooms to put it in...the house itself is pretty small). I think it's going to involve making a fabric cover for the pot so she can't get into the dirt. If you have any brilliant ideas let me know :)Femme Facetioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12747707596198149176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177702759920770590.post-8991794161825434382011-10-25T22:25:34.858-07:002011-10-25T22:25:34.858-07:00Ha ha ha..... that was a funny question you asked!...Ha ha ha..... that was a funny question you asked!!! :)Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128191645195789120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177702759920770590.post-3381727475815864042011-10-25T22:22:53.834-07:002011-10-25T22:22:53.834-07:00In case anyone is curious:
