Mila had a sleepover last night and we continued on with the cabinets.
Steve decided he couldn't take the microwave any longer.
We've hated it since we've moved in.
I never understood why people put microwaves over stoves/ovens to begin with. Let's heat food up someplace above our heads and when it's done, we're taking hot food out and if we slip up? Hot food in our face.
I just don't get it.
ANYWAY.
I grew up with a mom who cooked a LOT.
Like, a lot a lot.
Like, every single day and in our culture, she didn't make just one entree and a couple of sides.
She made like 3 entrees and like 6 sides. With rice or soup or both.
It's just how I grew up.
So we always had a super nice hood vent thing above our stove.
We decided that since we're doing this, that we should do it right.
So we're getting a new range hood. It should be coming Friday.
We're also getting a new stove. It's arriving next Thursday (coincidentally the same day my mom gets into town!)
The cabinets are coming along.
This is real life people! My cabinets are not organized.
Steve also decided that he didn't want to risk painting all the cabinets. There were stroke marks that were visible and while they didn't bother me all that much, Steve couldn't stand it.
He gave the sprayer a try.
Our compressor and the sprayer were not working well together. I'm not sure entirely why, but Steve ended up going out and buying another sprayer.
And he had a ball.
It obviously went much faster and was much more consistent.
The primer alone looked fantastic. I cannot wait to see what the paint will look like.
We've primed everything at this point and have one coat of paint on the cabinets.
Tomorrow we will do another coat of paint on the cabinets and spray the doors with the first coat of paint.
I was hoping to get the doors up by tomorrow (Wednesday) night but I fear not letting them sit long enough and then handling them and messing them up.
Maybe we'll wait until the weekend.
We also ordered our drawer pulls and handles. I'm not going to post them just yet, as I want to do a full reveal!
I'm so excited!
