| The finished project! |
As you can see, there's lots of storage in it! And it has a nice country-cupboard look to it that sets it apart from the other white cupboards in our kitchen.
I still haven't figured out what to put on top of it - it needs a plant or something decorative.
This was a fair bit of work: because I used alkyd paint the coats needed to dry a day before I could apply another coat, and the painting ended up stretching over a couple of weeks as a result. Painting inside cupboards is a real pain, too, literally: my back was killing me every night.
Expense-wise, it wasn't bad. I probably spent between $175 and $200 all in. To buy a new cabinet like this would be about $400 or so (and assembly required), so I feel pretty good about it.
It's nice to change up the kitchen a bit. The grey paint on the walls is new as well - it was green, but I was tired of the colour. We had it redone in 2001, so it has needed a little work. It could use more, but that's all it's getting for now.
No more projects until the new year!
