When we bought our house 2 months ago it was STARK white. Which made me pretty pumped because then I could do anything! With endless possibilities before me, I decided to start painting the family room/breakfast room/kitchen first, cause that's where we spend the most time. Since they are kinda one big room, I decided to paint them all the same color and then add an accent color later. Once the living room was done it just felt so much warmer and more inviting! I LOVE it!

The final venture was the kitchen. I went ahead and bought some handles for the cabinets (cause I really don't like the cabinets, but they are too expensive to upgrade and I don't have time to stain right now). It's a pick-me-up to that room at least. So here is the picture of the kitchen before we bought it...

Plain jane, eh? Well, we moved in and got pretty settled.
Here is the pick before the paint and handles...

And here's the after...

Before...

... and after!
(Did I mention the new faucet we had to buy before we moved in? The other one sprayed the room everytime you turned it on!)

And finally, here's the munchkin "helping" :)
It looks great, we bought our house in Fort Worth about a year and a half ago and it's always a work in progress you just do what you can as you go along! One thing at a time! Your son is precious :) Becky - http://www.terenceandbecky.com
