First, make sure that the scratchy ends of the U bolts are on the.
The only problem really was that the style was out of date.The cabinets were great quality custom cabinets, but they were golden oak, which instantly made the kitchen look old.
That extra gingerbread trim around the windows really gave it a “straight out of 1992” flare that just wasn’t doing it for us.Still, it was a big kitchen and it functioned well, so we made it work.. It’s really only taken a few pretty minor and inexpensive changes to make it feel like a brand new room and this little cabinet project has definitely played a big part.We started out by painting all the cabinets a light grey color and that really made a huge difference.
The room really brightened right up but we could tell as soon as we finished painting that removing all that extra trim would really make the whole room feel so much more open.It was one of those jobs that really extended how long this whole project took by a lot, but in the end it was worth it..
So down came all that trim!.
We removed those little wavy pieces over the windows as well as all the trim running along the tops of the cabinets.. We were actually able to cut those same pieces of oak trim down to fit our new design, so that was really convenient.In other bedroom news, our master bedroom looked like this for the first 2 years that we lived here and it made me absolutely crazy.. Today it looks like this!.
Well, actually that’s how it looked last year right after I finished with the project.If I’m being honest, right now today, it’s a little bit more of a total mess than that.
Also no pumpkins.But let’s just pretend that I took those pictures 5 minutes ago and that I do have pumpkins in there in August because I’m just a super-prepared blogger like that, K?.
