Of course I sanded, primed (2 coats) and painted each cabinet door and box to perfection for this... Add a few accessories from around the house and a select few I picked up on sale at Hobby Lobby and BOOM, beautiful:

Kitchen Cabinet Re-Paint: Nesting Gone Wild
Well, well, well... Looks like another pregnancy symptom hit - nesting. Unlike most moms-to-be who pull out their nicest cleaning attire and scrub baseboards and carpets, I decided to calm my urge with painting. Not just a small project either, I painted my entire plethora of kitchen cabinets turning my muted, sandy wooden cabinets into a white wonder... They rock!

Making This House Our Home: Downstairs
Well, we moved in 2 months ago. Being extremely unable to live out of boxes we were unpacked and set up the day after move-in... Actually had a Mary Kay Open House the following weekend! (Insane? Perhaps.) We have our fence now installed and the nursery nearly done... So now what?
It's time to tackle the decorating of the remainder of the house! We want to add punches of color to compliment the new carpet and paint that we were so blessed to find when looking at the house. Our style is vintage meets contemporary chic meets casual... It's comfortable and all our own. Of course we want to keep the homey feel and welcome folks with or without shoes into our abode. So, here is what I'm thinking for the downstairs. Since all rooms sorta connect, we will run a theme of:
1. White cabinets in the kitchen, cream walls, red/brown/tan accents...
2. Cream walls, red/brown/white/tan accents in living room (keep it cozy)...
3. Continue the theme into the dining area but add a conversation piece with the light fixture...
Of course we have neither the time nor the money for all of this. It's going to be total DIY Madness Makeover! Now all that's left is to get the husband's seal of approval and we can get started... But where?!
