Next step is painting all the kitchen cupboards using the Rustoleum Cabinet Transformation kit.
We went from this .....
To this.....
It took three coats to get from the oak to the linen-colored base coat .
All the doors and drawers were laid out in the garage for us to paint them in several stages......BUT.....even though the weather is in the 90s and muggy, there was rain in the forecast. My dear husband said it would be a good idea to bring them into the house as this was going to take a few days to complete.
I really think the reason for changing the painting location was this though.
I don't think he wanted to get his 1971 Chevy Nova wet.
So in the basement we went which is probably a much better environment to be working since it is cooler, dust free and bug free.
There is one coat of paint so far on the insides of each.
This really feels like a never ending job.
Also, the new refrigerator was delivered today, too. I am waiting for it to get cold so that I can transfer all the food from the old to the new and then the old one will be picked up by my daughter and son-in-law tonight.
Also, waiting for the painter to call and set up a time for measuring and giving me a quote for the kitchen and hallway. That will be it for contractors.
WE will still be painting cupboards I am sure.
Ok....I've got to get busy with that second coat of paint and moving into the new refrig.
Please tell me you have a magical answer for maintaining stainless steel appliances! Yours look so nice...we replaced our stove & frig with stainless not too long ago and so far good old fashioned soap & water seems to be the best. I was told never to use the stuff in the spray can. Don’t you love the french door style frig! Our old side by side immediately went into the basement to store overflow garden produce (and wine:-)
