    I am so saving this tutorial. The hubby is currently "thinking about it". I guess at some point he said that I said no more projects for a while, but that doesn't seem like something I would ever say, ha!

  20. Nikki says:

    Looks fantastic! We did our cabinets a year ago, they were nice dark wood ones, but dated and no one else wanted me to paint them. We have a small house though, so white cabinets definitely brighton the place up. Lots of work, but definitely worth it!

ON THE BLOG

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
