My new project

First of all, sorry about all of the crumby pictures in the next few posts. I was having user error problems with the camera. Hopefully it's all better now.

So, I can't get by with just one project, you know? Of course Ryan is doing most of the work on painting the house, so I am on another kick during the day. :) Refinishing my oak cabinets.

This shot gives you a look at the cheap-o cabinets we have. The sides aren't even wood. They are crappy whatever. It's funny because we have gorgeous doors. Knotty alder, 8 foot high. Why the cabinets, I don't know. So I decided to do the bathroom first. Test run, you know?


Here is my first step. I ordered this beadboard wallpaper from home depot online. Cool! I am loving it. Except one problem. I can't cut with a razor to save my life. See how crappy the bottom looks? I may have to add some lovely trim to that piece of work.

My new paint should be in the mail today. I will post more pics in a couple days. I am loving nap time with 2 at school!

Now why bead board wall paper and not actual bead board? Tell me about the inspiration for this...you must have found it on a blog somewhere! Which paint are you using?
