We did the same with our kitchen about 4 years ago. We painted the cabinets, which were dark (I don't like dark in a small room) and replaced the hardware. We laid a new peel and stick floor that we found on clearance at HD. We painted it an off white color because we were preparing to sell. <br /><br />Unfortunately, that hard work went for nothing because we ended up doing an entire kitchen makeover after the 1st flood. <br /><br />I bought some wallies for the kitchen that are still in the package because I wanted to wait for the kitchen to be done. Well, now because of the leaking roof, we have to replace drywall and will be painting again. <br /><br />Be sure you post before and afters!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618231128475803247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181941897289258428.post-52546033648102896722009-07-02T08:10:55.547-04:002009-07-02T08:10:55.547-04:00Good for you!

I bought some replacement stuff (shower curtain, soap dishes, rug etc) at Kohl's over a month ago with a gift card I got for Christmas, but I haven't put anything in there because I still need to paint. <br /><br />I think lots of people are "making do" with what they have because of the economy. I also hope that the economy has also made us realize that we don't have to have ALL NEW ALL THE TIME. That seemed to be a trend we'd gotten ourselves into (this coming from the girl who is looking into finishing her basement - pray for me).<br /><br />And I think tummy troubles run on our side of the family. I really do. I'm feeling your hubs' pain lately.ChupieandJ'smama (Janeen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12367131116081742274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181941897289258428.post-25172123922674797852009-07-02T08:03:30.820-04:002009-07-02T08:03:30.820-04:00It'll be done by the end of summer.

It took us two months to choose the color for the livingroom, because it was such a big space (at least in our humble 1000 sq foot house.) I'm excited, though. Embrace what you have and just spiff it up a bit. Works for me.<br /><br />Hey you! Have a great weekend!Bailey's Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16752350373632902394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181941897289258428.post-31380881125594391302009-07-02T07:30:53.511-04:002009-07-02T07:30:53.511-04:00Oo, I LOVE re-dos on a budget!

I think the terra cotta is a great choice (says the girl with the terra cotta kitchen) and will go well with the counters, floor and border you have. <br /><br />Good luck with those floors and try to take it easy. Painting and bordering is a pretty big chunk of time right there and if it took you four hours(!!) to strip your bathroom, I foresee an arduous process in the kitchen. Eek! <br /><br />Have fun and be sure to do before and after pix. You know how everyone loves a good make-over. ;o)Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.com
