Can This Shirt Be A Room? The Painted Kitchen

Remember that great feature from the old Domino magazine?
  
Well this favorite shirt was this inspiration for my kitchen makeover.

Here is a before shot: It's a little cold and disjointed looking.


Here is half way: Already the cupboards look better. I used Dutch Boy Refresh Paint in "Beach House Brown."


 Painting the "Little House on the Prarie" pipe was Cliff's suggestion-best idea ever!

Here I am mixing paint with an old curtain rod. You can see here how damaged the cupboards really were. Fortunately, I had no idea how much work it is to paint cupboards or I wouldn't have done it. The paint for the cupboards was white semi gloss left over from the professional painting the kitchen had before we moved in.

(Drum roll please.) The Reveal:

More pictures and more details to come tomorrow!
