Making the old kitchen into my CREATIONSPACE

Once again, biting off a bit more than I can chew... it is simply just what i do.
My husband and I share an office space and just outside that space is my crafting/making/creating area. I have "my junk" everywhere. Since we, in the last year built a kitchen on a different floor of our house I thought how great it would be for me to inherit the old kitchen space and turn it into a space where I can work, craft, bake and make. Minding a super duper tight budget!! Of course I can!!!

So... ugly laminate cabinets and laminate counter top along with an odd shaped cubby right in the middle to hold the old fridge. And so it begins...



Removing the cabinet doors... sanding, sanding, sanding. Then prime, paint, paint. This involves more patience than I typically have for a project but I am determined to make this happen!!!

painting laminate cabinets

I have ripped most of the laminate off the counter top... not sure if that was the best idea. Moving forward!!! Finish the painting, add color to the back splash with some paper prints and Modge Podge. Then cover with polyurethane. And spray paint the stove "hood" with some texture and color.
