So as many as you moms know, we like to make up projects for ourselves to keep us from going insane some days!! For so long I've wanted new kitchen cabinets because I'm not a huge fan of the natural wood look in our house. I knew it was way to much get brand new ones, so have been toying with the idea of painting them black myself. Ben was VERY VERY against it because it was such a BIG thing do just decide to do one day and it is a pretty big part of our home...so if it turned out bad...oh well! Last week i was at Walmart and just decided to get the paint and do it. It took me about 3 days of straight painting, but it's done...and I LOVE it! It looks so much better! I just put a coat of primer on, then had to do about 3 coats of the black paint on each cabinet. I did the inside of the doors as well, so that's why it took so long. Anyways, it's funny how a little bit of paint can change something SOOOO much! It looks like a completely different kitchen to us! Oh, and Ben loves it as well and is so happy I did it, so it was way worth it! Just thought it'd be fun to post a before and after picture!
I also wanted to tell my activity day girls how cute they are and how much I love them! We had an activity Wednesday at my house and made the cutest little Mother Day craft! We made sugar cookies, frosted them, and put little skewers in them with leaves attached on them listing the things they loved about there moms on each leaf. We put a gumdrop in the middle of the cookies to get them to hold and put starbursts and skittles as the grass in the pot. Anyways, they turned out so cute. Ben actually had a young mens activity that night and he even liked the idea so much he had me teach the boys how to do them as well....not quite as coordinates as my girls...but I still gave them props for trying and doing them!
Hope all is well and you all have a very Happy Mothers Day!!
