My newest project is to Antigue the cupboard doors with a paint coffee bean colored paint and glaze mixture. I absolutely love the outcome! Plus with new hardware this is like a new kitchen!

Before the glazing and new hardware!

Kitchen Reno






In a kitchen this size, where do you begin? We all know kichen renovations aren't cheap so some times you have to work with the postive things you do have. My cabinets were in good shape they just seemed dated. The emerald green sponge paint look wall paper on the ceiling screamed 1980's and the yellow painted walls had more scuffs and marks than my kids shoes. I figured those are some good places to start. I attempted to remove the ceiling wall paper after several attempts and a couple of broken nails.... yeah not going to happen! On to back up plan! I decided to wall paper over the wall paper with a white textured paintable wall paper and I loved the out come. Time consuming totally but completely worth it! You gotta love bronze metallic paint!
