Have been busy giving our kitchen a facelift. I would have loved some new cupboards but am happy with new work tops, new hob and stove and prep bowl. Our original wooden cupboards had yellowed with age so I have painted them. My DH was very apprehensive about the whole thing and when I suggested two different colours he was not happy. I have done all the painting myself (DH a very messy painter) and I am thrilled with the result. I am being taken out to supper tonight :))
First picture is the 'old' kitchen
Second is 'new' kitchen.

Next time I need some help with renovation I will call you and ask you to come Sarah :o)
You did a great job and isn't it satifying when you have done it and it looks so good? And you have done it all on your own? You can give yourself a pat on your back (also for being brave and take two colors even your hubby was not convinced with your colors).
Greetings, Bettina
PS: I have a mix of blue-green fronts with stainless stelle and birch ;-)

All my own work and YES I have given myself a pat on the back. Now you can see why my sewing has taken a back seat.

Well Sarah, I have to say that you have done an excellent job. I do like those pastel colours also. Oh, just one thing..............is that a paint run just to the left of the new oven? No, sorry, it's just the shadow from the oven handle...............lol

You have done an excellent job, it has probally lightened your room up, although the photo is kind of dark. I know you wanted a change, but I really like the natural wood tones in the 1st photo too-Toogie

Thank you Toogie. I had originally 'washed' the natural wood with white paint. It had yellowed so much over the years that something had to be done. I am really enjoying my 'new' kitchen.
