Kitchen Remodel

This mess was not only mine but Reed's also! He painted my garbage can and I loved it so I had a crazy idea that maybe we could do the same thing to the kitchen and Reed was all for it! (He will tell you it was his idea) So this is my kitchen before and within 30 minutes we had it cleared out and all the doors off.



We painted the walls red and it took a couple of coats cuz the first color had really dark purples in it but I love what we ended up with and yes Reed did pick it out. On the doors we cut bead board and glued it down on top of what we already had. We primed all the cupboards and doors and then painted all of them. Afterwards we finished them with a brown glaze.
This was our kitchen during the processes. Reed is taking a rest. Actually he had most of it done by time I came back from being with family! It was awesome. He is such a stud!!!


We also added knobs and handles. This is a finished cupboard up close.




Who knew you can redecorate a whole kitchen around a garbage can.


Finished product! and I love it. Total I think we spent $100
