My Kitchen Cabinet's Grand Reveal

OK, ok, so maybe you don't really care all that much what I do to my kitchen cabinets. However, I'm really thrilled that I painted it. I mean, just absolutely Over the Moon, baby.
Yes, what does that say about me, the fact that I'm excited over paint?
Some time ago, I painted my bathroom cabinets, and decided that it brightens up things so much that I would tackle the kitchen as well. It was quite a bit of work, but it was so worth it!

Here's the before shot:
That, my friends, is my funnyman husband's reaction when I told him what I was going to paint. Yeah, he thinks he's funny :)

And after (hehe, ignore the messy fridge, although I do like it messy like that):


Now, I get such a big jolt walking into the kitchen. After walking into a darkish kitchen for most of the past 9 years, it will take me a while to get used to walking into the clean, bright room.

In between the painting and taking advantage of our extended summer (or overdue summer), I fed my sewing addiction by making a skirt for my daughter. I love making skirts because it's quick and satisfying. That was the only time I touched the sewing machine this whole weekend.

Here, my Little Girl is modeling the skirt for me. It's a little big for her, because it's meant for her big sister. I have fabric cut out to make a skirt for her too, and that one will fit her a lot better!
