Bit by Bit

                       ...So now you know what I disliked about our kitchen and a little bit 
                                    about what my dreams were for the updated version... 


                                  Here are a few pictures, because really, 
                                      aren't they more interesting than words anyhow?

A good cleaning (I love Method from Target because it's non-toxic, and works well on many surfaces) and 3M sanding blocks for getting the clear coat finish dulled down, as well as smoothing out some of the wood grain, worked well. (These are great because they can be rinsed and re-used!)

                                                          Let the priming begin!                                                                                                        

I used two coats of SW Pro-Classic Paint in Snowfall

(I've found that it doesn't throw any yellow/pink/grey as others do.)

Pictures to follow...

Helpful little hint: If you are finished painting for a little bit, zip-lock bags work wonderfully to keep the brush or roller you are using in usable condition, without having to spend time (and gallons of water!) cleaning it. 

Then, when it's time to paint again, you can pick right up where you left off!
