A New Look for the Kitchen

Where to start... I have been on a decorating and painting kick for about the last 2 months- and although I've accomplished a lot, I still see SO SO many more projects that need done and some that seem like dreams that I'll never get to. So here is my very first post!

I'm pretty sure everyone would agree that the kitchen is the center of the home so I am going to show you my kitchen BEFORE and AFTER. I got a lot of my ideas and inspiration from Sassy Style she inspired me to just DO IT and stop with all of the excuses! I was a little worried about painting over my laminate wood cabinets but she cleared my mind when i saw her AFTER pictures.
Ready for the BEFORE? Here we go!

This is my little helper! :)


This is the before, I do not miss those ugly honey colored cabinets one bit!







And after adding the bead-board wallpaper...



And AFTER!




I spray painted the bar stools with Rust-Oleum's Colonial Red, I'm in LOVE with this color!
