All of the doors and drawers are painted!

Wow- that took SOOOOO much longer than I thought it would. I guess if I painted every day without fail, and didn't feed my kids, and never left the house, etc. I could have finished it sooner, but life happens.

The accent painting took a very long time- I wish we would have found a way that worked better, but we didn't. It looks great, but wow, what a job. Luckily Dave has a steady hand or else it could not have happened.

We still have some left to do. The tile for the backsplash has been delayed. It is handmade, and according to the company, they were having trouble getting the color just right. Not sure if I should be worried or not. Still have to do the trim around the base of the cabinets, and the trim on the bottom of the upper cabinets (light rail moulding). But, that should be simple. Just crossing our fingers that the tile will be here before Christmas, but in the whole scheme of things in life, a tile backsplash is not too urgent.

The funny thing is that even though we added some cabinetry here and there, the kitchen feels bigger. Love that! I am glad that Dave was on board with me, or this would have been an incredibly painful process.

I will post more pictures when it is DONE. Hopefully that will be in a few weeks, but if not, we will survive.
