Kitchen project started!


Today we worked on the kitchen cabinets. We are painting all the trim and sides and getting someone hubby knows who does painting of cabinets and furniture for a living to do our cabinet doors.  Steve's got most of the cabinet doors off.  He still has to take some drawers out but most of them have been emptied already.  It is tons of fun figuring out just where he put things as I look for them. :)

 
Here's some photos of today. Hubby sanded while I followed his sander with a shop vac to try to get as much of the dust as I could while he sanded. It did help a lot. Then hubby taped off the areas needing tape.  I don't like to tape things but he hates painting worse than anything.  Case in point, all I needed him to do was open the paint can and he ending up pouring some on himself, his shirt and pants!  Too funny!!


First we had to clear out the cabinets!
 
Coffee table, book shelves, all got some dishes on them
 
Covered all the granite top with the mattress plastic covering from the bed we got last week (smart saver!)
Hubby used Frog tape to tape off areas. I worked around all the hinges though with a small brush
This was so funny! He opened the can and started to pour and it was dripping down the can and he over corrected spilling some onto himself and almost the floor!  Luckily we had the granite top covered in plastic!
Here I am painstakingly painting around each and every hinge!



 
 
Here's pictures of the finished outer cabinets!

Looks nice all white!

 
 Tomorrow we're going to tackle the cabinets around the stove. Then next weekend the plan is to do all the lower cabinets.
