Well...there is no turning back~ yep Here it is all finished after 3 LONG days of sanding and painting and staining....Remind me not to do this again for a long time...I need to get back into my house keeping...Boy my house is TRASHED. I totally neglected my house while I was painting my cabniets....but now it is all done and now I am back into the swing of house keeping and folding laundry..Blah...painting was way more fun!
Before............
Tori needed a color change too!
During.....After............
I bought some snowman curtains......
Well that's it! I am glad I did it. It goes better with my style of the Rustic Country theme I have going on....
I have done this type of painting for a long time. I used to work for a woman and I did her entire home over. She likes the Distressed look and I did everything from Furniture, her cabniets, floors and ever her window shutters.. It took me a good year to complete her home. I had a portfolio on all my work but it got ruined in a flood we had last year.... I enjoy this type of work. I do a lot of this for my friends too...I guess folks I have a hidden talent I have never shared with you..Back when I needed a new sofa table I couldn't find one I wanted...so I went to Target and bought a new one and brought it home lugged it in the garage and beat the Cr*p out of it with a hammer and a few other heavy tools Brad had laying around and I painted it and applied a crackle paint to it and made it look old... So many of my friends get a kick out of me buying something new and then destroy it to make it looks old....I am so glad my Husband understands me..... Just call me crazy...Wes-n-Lani and Flip Flop Mom...just let me know when and I will be there! Just keep your husbands away!

It looks wonderful...you do great work. I can see you making a business of doing that! I am just in awe of your talent. I have the distressed white furniture in my dining room and bedroom. I like that look....and if it get messed up, I'm not as upset as if it were a perfect piece. Now, you need to take a break...I'm sure that was a workout.
Looks great!
It looks fabulous!! You have quite the hidden talent! I can't wait to see it in person:) My cabinets would love that, but they are sooooo ugly and not even real wood! LOL! The bachelor who built this house had some BAD taste and we just haven't had the money for a renovation!!
I wish I could paint my cabinets! The cabinets would be fine, I just worry about my beautiful bench..gah... any ideas??? Maybe you can come and stay with me and do it for me!

Wow, the black cabinets look awesome! We love them! We know it is hard work to do cabinets. I painted mine red about 10 years ago. I posted some pictures of my red cabinets today so stop by when you get a chance.
