Wonderful White

Our cabinets are complete!!  Can you tell that I am thrilled?!  

When we bought our house, the cabinets were a dark brown wood (original from 1971).  Since replacing the cabinets was not in the budget, we chose to paint them white and put some modern hardware on them to update the look.  Painting cabinets is not an easy, quick process (especially when your Dad is a painting contractor and likes everything to be done properly.... lucky us!)

This weekend my Dad replaced all the hinges and installed the new hardware.  Want to see?

Here is the kitchen when we first bought it.  Notice the dark, outdated cabinets.

TAA-DAAA!!!! Obviously, the floors are ripped out and there is a lot of work to do in the kitchen (new counters, perhaps?!)  However, in my opinion, the white cabinets really brighten up and instantly modernize the kitchen.  I love it!

Do you like our choice of pulls?  It's called the European pull.  Nick and I both love the sleek, modern look.  

                                        This is what the pantry looked like before....

                                And.... the final product!  So much better, right?

Our next project for the kitchen is granite counter tops.  Now that the cabinets are white and pretty.... the yellow tile/brown grout counter top is a major eyesore!!
