kitchen transforming

Ok, I was asked by a friend what was up with the kitchen. SO here's where we're at so far. The insides of the cupboards are painted a creamy buttery yellow and the beadboard backsplash is the same color. We have the first piece cut and painted, and it's behind the range so you can see it, but it's not actually installed yet. Cool, eh? The beadboard will all be covered with a polyurethane finish because it's in the kitchen. And we got the kind that is rated for moisture and is mildew resistant. I am so excited.

And what do you I think I paid for the paint? zilch. It was free from the recycled paint shed at the landfill. Pretty much the neatest perk ever. If you go, take a screwdriver to open paint cans and a handful of stirrer sticks if you can. It will make your life easier. So far we've spent $120 on supplies, including a really good white enamel that will go on the cupboard doors and two huge sheets of beadboard. I'm hoping to keep it to $150 max. Hoping.
