Kitchen Update

When my mom told me that I had finally convinced her to paint her kitchen cabinets, I said one thing, “Make sure you take before photos!”.  Here’s what she sent.

Oh, and this one.  From two years ago.  And my daughter is wearing make up.  Ack! Luckily, the before pictures (or lack thereof) aren’t the focus of this show.  It took some convincing, but she painted them—and then some!

She replaced the flooring, painted the walls, added some trim, and had recessed lighting put in.  I just said paint the cabinets, Mom! ;)

I’ve spent countless hours in this kitchen, so the memories of meals with my mom and dad took precedence over the dark cabinets.  However, with all the changes in her bathrooms, it just seemed like the next natural step. 

Of course, I think my mom’s talent lies in the details.   

My heart gets all fuzzy when I stand at the sink.  She may not have a window view, but I think this is pretty close.  You done good, Mom!
