A little over 6 months ago, my husband I bought a house. Before we moved into the house we scrapped the popcorn ceiling and painted all the rooms in the house. That took about a week. We've done a couple little projects in house like new light fixtures, etc. Our kitchen cabinets were a dark brown color with door knobs in the middle of the cabinet.

We dealt with the color, until I could no longer deal with the color and awkward positioning of the door knobs. My husband were at Lowe's one day, getting a weed wacker when I told him, "hey, let's look at a color of the cabinets". We decided to get a quart of grey (paint made for cabinets). I said we'll only paint two doors to see if we like it.
Well we liked it! I decided I was going to work on the kitchen that week. It took about 6 days from when we painted the first two cabinets. I worked on about 2 to 3 cabinet doors a day and painted the cabinet while in between coats on the doors. It took about 3 coats for the cabinet doors. Our doors were a little tricky since we had the whole in the middle. I found wood filer and used that to fill the holes both on the inside of the cabinet and on the outside. That was a process in and of itself lol. Well here is the end result.

Cabinets are finished!! |
Lighting isn't the best in this picture but you get the main picture. We bought new hardware too, thank goodness my hubby had a template for drilling the handles, sometimes he's handy like that ;). It's definitely still a work in process. It still needs new counter tops, sink, doors need painting and light fixture but it's coming along :)
