White Kitchen Reveal

I am so excited to show you all my new white kitchen!

We still need to do the countertops, but that may be a while,

so I couldn't wait any longer.

We removed all the doors and painted them in the garage.

We started painting by hand, but soon realized a paint gun 

would be worth the money.  

Brian ran to Home Depot and bought one.  

We loved it, and it did a great job,

but we made the HUGE mistake of not covering the

floor and everything else too.

(I must also add that we tried to use the paint gun about a month later

and it wouldn't work, not sure why but it may have been too cold, or we didn't clean it enough).

We lived like this for a week.

But the results were so worth it.

The kitchen feels so much bigger and brighter.

I actually really liked my red cabinets, but they made the kitchen feel dark and dated.  

Before:

We painted the dining table too.  

I love how fresh everything feels.

I am trying to decide if we will do the countertops in granite to match the island, or if we will do wood. 

Neither is in the budget right now.

Before:

The color we used is Cotton Fluff by Behr in semi gloss.  

It is a creamy white.

We used 3 coats of paint, and then a couple of coats of polycrylic.

I found this hutch on Craigslist and painted it to match the cabinets.

Even on gloomy days, this kitchen is so bright.

I'm joining these wonderful parties:
