This past weekend with the help of my wonderful girls, I managed to renew my old tired kitchen and transform it into a modern, refreshed space. There are a few finishing details – so the completed photo will be posted later this week.
Before work started – old tired ugly wood cupboards.

My sentence: After years of novaturient, I succeeded, with the help of my girls, in operimenting my ugly old wooden kitchen cupboards. Even the albedineity of the primer made me happy. With only the weekend available to complete the project, impigrity was paramount to achieve the patration of a new look kitchen.
What projects have you undertaken in your home that had a time constraint?
And as promised the finished result…I used the colour from the lino accent colour and matched it for the cupboards!
