(before)After three weeks, the cabinets are done. I figured they took 23+ hours and cost about 175 dollares. That must mean I paid myself 100 dollares an hour because the bid we got was to refinish the cabinets for 2200 dollares. How is that Bec, for saving a few?
Now lest you think we are crazy fools because now our kitchen looks too blanco, the next step is to paint the kitchen a color called Arabian sands which is Behr paint and hopefully put in a new counter top which would be dark, as in probably black. The kicker would be stainless steel appliances but it aint happening on our watch.

Those are beautiful! We are currently trying to refinish a desk of ours. It has been a WAY BIGGER project than we thought.
That looks so good!!! I'm impressed! You're not going to want to sell the house now.
Okay, Rachel, it's official--you are AMAZING!!! 23 hours on cabinets while raising 8 kidlets! I always say it but I have a hard enough time with one! They are absolutely gorgeous and you should be very proud.

You did a FANTASTIC job, Rach! You could start your own business! (in a few years, if you wanted)
That must feel so satisfying to do it yourself, save $$, and have them turn out so beautifully!
