From Ghetto to Glorious

Our kitchen has taken on a transformation over the past week from ghetto to glorious. 

Here's what our kitchen looked like before.  Greasy, skanky, dirty, old, nasty looking cabinets. 

We started by taking the cabinets off the hinges.

Two of our amazing friends Hayley and Hannah orchestrated the whole process.  These girls know far more about home repair projects than most guys we know.  They're incredible. 

After scrubbing the cabinets clean (and that was QUITE a process), we plugged the holes, sanded them, and began painting. 

It took about 7 hours to accomplish all of this, so we took a little break in the middle of working for some sweet and sour chicken.  Yum.

Here are our doorknobs before.  Looks like a horse's noose to me.  Giddy up!!



Here are our doorknobs after.  Ahhh.  Nice.  Clean.  Classic.  No more giddy-uppin' around here.

And here's the final product.  Clean.  Fresh.  Neutral.  Glorious.

We are now no longer scared to enter the kitchen.  Good thing.  I have a feeling we'll be spending ALOT of time in there when these babies make their appearance.  :)
