Kitchen update

I love fall break! We wanted to go on a trip but we decided to have a stay-cation. What better way to relax than to work on some projects ha ha. Rather than building something we decided to actually update something in our house! We added some molding to the cabinets and applied a fresh coat of paint. It took twice as much time and we used twice as much wood and paint than we thought we would need...that's how projects go I guess.

This is before. We already like the hardware and the white cabinets which where updated by the previous owners but wanted to add some molding and paint it a brighter white. 

When buying the molding we didn't account for the wasted wood from cutting the 45 degree angels so we ended using twice as much wood. It came out to about $60. We spray painted the cabinet doors and hand painted everything else. If we did it again we probably wouldn't spray paint because you can only apply a small coat at a time so it took forever and used a lot of paint. We probably used 3 spray cans and a quart of paint- $20 total. And a lot of hours. We helped Aubrey and Aaron update theirs at the same time so lots of helping hands made it go by quickly. 

We are very excited by the end result! 

*update...Aubrey and Aaron's transformation is even more impressive! I can't believe the difference if made.
