Ready to Go...AGAIN

Well...the cabinet boxes are ONCE AGAIN primed and ready to paint!  This has got to be the LONGEST cabinet re-do EVER!!

At least they're not SUPER yellow anymore!

The funny thing is....I honestly tried to convince myself that the yellow tint & streaks just made them look "antiqued" ha, ha.  Thank goodness I decided to just go for it! (Well...maybe not "thank goodness", but I think I will be glad in the end!)

I also got the window sills primed (finally)

Tomorrow I can give them a coat of paint and then Kade can finally get them installed!

 I can't wait to see how they look in the end.  So glad we took the extra step of having the lumber milled and getting that full 1" thick board.

Can't we do ANYTHING that's easy??

(or at least QUICK!)

Cabinet Doors

Here we go...I'm afraid it is going to take me FOREVER to get all of the cabinet doors painted for the clutter room.  There's something different about this time.  I've painted cabinets a few times, but for some reason I'm much more nervous about doing it this time.

I used my DIY door drying rack

and it worked really well.  I sanded all of the cabinets doors, just like I did with the cabinet boxes.  You don't really have to be too organized about this.  I used the B-I-N primer again which is sandable, so you just want to make sure you cover everything, and you should be fine.  Next step will be trying out that paint sprayer and putting the paint on!  As soon as this is done we'll be able to go pick up the washer/dryer and refrigerator!  YEAH!!

More Sunroom Fun

Finally I started to paint the sunroom.  Because the pine is so knotty, I decided to use some B-I-N Primer first to try and block out those ugly yellow spots! 

You can see that the primer didn't really do a great job of covering, but it does appear to have blocked the knots!  I guess only time will tell though.

Had to give the ceiling a fresh coat of paint too...it looked so dirty.  Don't you love the saran wrap on my head?  Hey...it's what you do when you don't have a hat  :)

Finally getting somewhere with the paint.

It only took 3 days, 1 coat of primer and 3 coats of paint!!!  Now we need to build new window jambs.  The new wood walls are much thicker than the drywall & paneling that was out there before.
