Project Cook Has Been Completed :::over and out:::

 Kitchen Make Over

Some of you may remember when I posted about "Project Cook". It was more of creative way to share with you that I was going to give my kitchen a make-over. Well... it's finally finished.  I am not 100% satisfied with the outcome, but it will most definitely do for the time being. 

Our original plan for the make-over included...

- New paint color

- New cabinet color

- Cabinet Hardware

- New Floors 

- New Countertops

- and a few pieces of new decor

In the end we got everything except the new countertops and this amazing little console table that I wanted to put in there. I guess you get what you get.  

[The colors in the kitchen were Orange & Green. All of the stuff on top of the cabinets had been thrown up there over the years when I had no other place to put them]. 

[The colors are now Brown, White and Sage. The "stuff" on the top has been organized].

[Pretty Self Explanatory- or at least I think so]

[Clean, Simple and open]

[ I felt like I needed something about the stove and I found this little sign for 50% off at hobby Lobby. Cost: $7

I bought a package of towels at Ross for $4 and tied them with ribbon that I had in my collection]. 

[I bought these cute little containers at Hobby Lobby for 50% off as well]. 

Cost for both: $11

[I made the curtains after seeing them HERE & I bought and installed a new light fixture that hangs over the sink].

[I got this Bowl at Goodwill for $2 and the moss at Pier 1 for $1]

[I recovered the Valance that I had in the attic ... it came with the house when we bought it.  Cost: $6.99

I got new place mats from Ikea. Cost: $1.99 each. 

The mirror was given to me from my mother in law (Free) & and stencil I order on Etsy for $23. 

NOTE: I will be posting a separate post about the Mirror tomorrow with more information and the Etsy Details. 

[I bought the cross at Ross for $3 and spray painted it white]

[New Hardware]

[Cabinet Pulls. Nothing Fancy]

[Drawer Pulls. Total Cost for ALL hardware: $90 ]

[I saw this craft here & and I just had to make it for the Kitchen]

All in all I did what I could (all by myself might I add) while Baby K was sleeping. That included all of the trips to the store, the crafts along with the paint & install.  During the process we made friends with Paul over at Home Depot, Marley over at Goodwill and a few others at random places. 

Also, it turns out I will not get to share our other Big News with you [at least for another month or so unless things change]. Doesn't it always happen that way??  Apparently we  have 99.9% of the Big News, but we have to wait until we have the full 100% to share. And for those of you that have asked... it does not involve adoption.  Now if that doesn't make it more interesting...
