Who here doesn't love a before-and-after photo series?
It seems like voila, instant improvement.
But in this series, it really isn't fair, because my "before" pictures were taken not with the intention of doing a before-and-after series, but taken for my own planning purposes, hence they are really bad, making my "after" shots look soooo much better than the original.
I am really pleased with my kitchen face lift! It's now two years this month that we bought this house, and I've always hated the kitchen. It was ugly and dysfunctional.
I suffered long enough.
So, with a budget of $600 I bought five new cabinets, a butcher block top (lucky score at $99), four cans of paint, a thrift store shelving unit, and a ton of sandpaper.
(I sanded for almost two days continuously.)
Working with the concept of 'use what you've got', I reconfigured, reorganized, and refreshed my kitchen.
I am happy.
And sore.
