I'm Kristy and I am a decorator-AHOLIC!

Something is definitely wrong with me.. LOL!  I think I am a glutton for punishment!

So, I decided to re-do all my kitchen cabinets which is a huge job and is taking a lot longer than expected but doesn't it always?  But, the nicer things start looking the more I want to do.  So what started with the cabinets has now transformed in to furniture moving, dining room cabinets, window treatments, wainscoting and more...

That being said, we have been working on many different things with not one thing complete yet.  I am going to show you some pics of the dining room cabinets and the direction that we are going with it.

These cabinets were free! Yep that's right folks free. Some people were re-doing their kitchen and just gave away the old cabinets so I took them.  I originally painted them red and added hardware to match what I already had in my kitchen.
(These are the top cabinets)

This is the bottom. You can see we have already started priming.


Here's a close up of the cabinets together primed and painted. I thought I was going to be done with them here besides the doors and accessories but I came up with an add on! (As always)

And here is the add on.. I added wainscoting to the back. It looks amazing! I can't wait to show you the whole thing when it's all done.  But now, I think I want to re-paint the dining room and add wainscoting and a chair rail to the rest of the room. shhhh....I haven't broken the news to poor hubby yet.  He made me laugh today because while we were at Home Depot buying supplies and I was talking about the add ons.  He said "Your blog sure does make a lot more work for me" LOL!  And its true, Because of all you amazing bloggers out there who inspire me everyday and give me really great ideas!

Love,
Kristy

Oh, that handsome fellow in the pic above is my eldest son Ethan. He's 11!

Coming Soon to a blog near you...

Hello All!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I had a very low key weekend that included a few garage sales, a little painting, a little sanding, some cooking, a few baseball games, and a movie with my hubby and kiddos.

So, I just want to give you a few glimpses of what projects I am or will be working on over the next week or two.  Here are the "before" pics.


This is a really cute (or will be) old solid wood bookshelf. I got it for 5.00 at a yard sale.

I bought this beauty at an estate sale for 15.00  I just loved the marble. You can't tell bu the wood is a pretty dated looking fake cherry finish..(that will be changing)

Yes, another beautiful mirror. I purchased this one at a thrift store for 7.50.. It came complete with the horse sticker and everything.


And now for the big one........


Yep, that's right.. I am going to tackle my dated kitchen cabinets. You can see that we already started taking down the doors before I took our "before" pics.

So you will definitely want to stay tuned and check out the outcomes of all my projects. With that being said, make sure you "Follow" me so you can find me again..

Love,
Kristy
