Kitchen Painting

It's amazing how a new coat of paint can make everything seem so new and make everything so much better. In June my mom decided to repaint the kitchen, we thought it was time and we were getting tired of the yucky brown color. We debated for a while on the color because we had to chose a color that would cover the wall paper. So we came to a decision to paint the cabinets black and the wall white. We started off slowly because we did not know how it would turn out and there was a lot more prep work then expected. I would do some of the prep work during the week and my mom and I would paint on the weekends. The first thing we wanted to do was pull up the floor (we also decided to put on a new floor). We started on the area above and below the stove and it was turning out very nice, then moved onto the area below the sink. Once that was done we started on the cabinets above. It took us quite a while to do everything, by late October we had the area of the fridge to do which was a big area and the floor. Painting the wall white was kind of tricky, but we covered it with lots of layers of primer and white. We made it a goal to be done by Thanksgiving cause I was having friends over for dinner. A week before Thanksgiving my mom put the floor in and bought some nice curtains and we were done. We were happy the way it turned out and that we were finally done :)
