One coat of primer and three coats of paint later, the outside of the cabinets are done. I still have to paint the final coat inside the cabinets, and put 2-3 coats inside the drawers, but I think I'm making progress. A little: I also still have to get new pulls (or repaint the old ones, I can't decide) and put all the hardware back on (hinges, pulls, etc.).
Yesterday, I put what may be the coat of on the walls and ceiling. I still have to do some touchup and paint the trim, but that shouldn't be nearly as difficult as what I've done so far. I think I took for granted how many nooks and crannies we have in the kitchen (two levels of ceiling, several outcroppings, lots of corners, etc.). Painting the ceiling a different color (white) than the walls (light blue) may have been a little too ambitious.
I'd hoped to finish my project before I head back to school today for the start of my summer classes, but I didn't quite make it. I guess I'll have to shoot for September. Oh well, painting will be a nice distraction from statistics. Or maybe vice versa.
Wow, you have been busy. I like the choice of the blue with white ceilings. And, get new knobs. Home Depot or Lowe's have nice ones that are cheap. Love you.
ReplyDeleteI hate painting trim!You have to be meticulous and tape everything and be patient and all that stuff--worse than dusting but, better than fasting. :P M
