Just for laughs and giggles

Because it’s always better to laugh then to cry

Let me just say I'm not a DIY person. The most I've probably done is paint and remove wall paper. So larger projects haven't been my thang.

Fast forward to about a month ago.....enter the kitchen with the ugly green countertops/walls 🤮.

 

 

 

Apologies to the green fans, I am not a green fan 😂. I couldn't live happily with these ugly green countertops/walls, but the cabinets don't look bad, right????

Yeah, that's what I thought until I got up close. Then you see all of the old scratched, worn, broken wood 🤦‍♀️. Oi vey! 

 

I just knew I couldn't be happy in this kitchen. So what's a girl to do? Change it!

 

The internet could be a wonderful thing (most of the time 🙄) - so after much research I found two kits. One for painting kitchen cabinets and one for painting countertops to look like granite. The kit for the countertops has the minerals mixed right into the main coat of paint. How cool is that?!

 

So after much work, and help from family, I present to you my labor of love...

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and some pretty new contact paper for all of the cabinets and shelves.

 

Now this makes me happy when I walk in! And that makes all of the hard work soooo worth it!

Also on a side note, now I want to paint a whole bunch of other stuff! Tables, chairs, furniture...think I found myself a new hobby 😁.

 

So if you're like me, and your kitchen is in need of some updating but you don't currently have the funds for all new kitchen cabinets/countertops, I recommend looking into these kits:

balloonkotinsp - As a contractor, with some 35 plus years of experience, I'd say that you did a great job. Working with your hands can be very rewarding. Word of caution, start small on your projects. It just helps build confidence, and less overwhelming. Oh, and never start a new project until you've completed the last. Anyway, I don't want to be a buzzkill. Hopefully not. Good on you.

GiannaRay​(sub female) - Thanks Well this was a large project but it had to be done. I know first hand that you really have to do the most work before you move in and everything is still empty. So I knew, do it now! Or it will never get done. My old house went with ceilings with edging paint on them because "we'll finish painting them after we move in", yeah ummmmm that didn't happen lol.
