So I posted a few days ago that if you could correctly GUESS what Troy was painting then you won a prize! Well my dear friend Mindy, guessed perfectly! NEW KITCHEN CABINETS! If you had also guessed a black kitchen TABLE then you would have also been right!
My kitchen cabinets were custom made by Troy and my dad about two years ago. They did a fabulous job but in the rush to finish them they were not properly finished. They should have been sanded about 3 extra times and finished twice more and THEN sealed. So neither Troy or myself have ever really LOVED them. When we first designed the kitchen I had debated on black cabinets but I thought they would look “home made”. I couldn’t have been further from the truth. Troy has really come a long way in making his project look truly professional! We have had a compressor for years and had attempted to spray some things and just did not get it right. This time he definitely got it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The pic was taken really late at night… when I have some natural light and when all of the cabinets are done I will post better pics but they are SUPER chic and very modern looking! I am ecstatic! Every time I open one I think… yummy! Truly I love them! I found the silver hardware at Home Depot and because I was able to buy in bulk I got ALL the hardware for only $75!!!!!!!!!! We have a TON of cabinets so that was huge. I also bought this hardware MONTHS ago but with Ky being sick and the holidays we put the cabinet plans on hold. So…. spring has come and a FOR SALE sign will likely be going in our front yard soon. Its time to get it right!
Coming SOON to the kitchen… the RED WALLS are going green! YAY!
Mindy… you win THIS:
We all struggle with keeping our houses smelling good! I have a new found love for this sense and spray and a long time love of the wallflowers! I am also sticking in a Bath Buddie for Ellie! Mindy… email me your address so I can get this in the mail to you. (But we all know how bad I am at getting to the post office… so hopefully Troy will get it there soon!)

YAY!! Well, I remembered the picture you posted not too long ago of the round black table from PB that you wanted to make a gargae sale one look like (I think). ANd when I saw the spray gun I just knew you had to have black cabinets to go with it! And I knew the spray gun well – we have been working on our house for almost a year now! I think I might have to steal the black cabinet idea – yours look awesome!
Your cabinets look great! I stumbled onto your site via Danielle. You and your family have an amazing story and I’ve loved reading about you all.
