To paint or not to paint...that is the question!

Should you paint your kitchen cabinets? I have seen that question posed to Blogland on behalf of people who are trying to make that decision. So, having my grandies with me and being short on time to do a project, I decided to answer that question, as well as post a few bargains.

First, Hobby Lobby has things marked down 80% right now, and I loved this sign for "Groceries". I decided to hang it inside my pantry!

And now the the paint question....having lived with stained cabinets for 35 years, I decided that I needed to paint my kitchen. We are big do-it-yourself people, but we hired this out to someone who does this as a business. We chose a creamy white with a glaze for the country French look.

We had this done 5 years ago, and as you can see, the cabinets still look beautiful.

We didn't go with new cabinets....just had these painted and had the soffett removed above the sink.

The island is painted black with the edges burned back.

A flea market bird cage sits on top of the fridge.

Our walls are painted "stonehouse" by Benjamin Moore.

Another thrifty GW topiary and basket.

I couldn't resist this Hobby Lobby sign "Bon Appétit"....just wish they had put the accent on it!

Our countertops are Sahara Blue by Silestone. They have held up beautifully and are non-porous.

That's it for the kitchen tour. I've got to get baths for little ones. But, let me say, while I love stained cabinets, I am really thrilled for a change after all those years. I'd paint (or have them painted) again in a heartbeat!
