There are several projects that we want to complete while we are at the new house. The explanation for this is two-fold: 1. We wanted a fixer-upper, because we wanted to get some sweat equity and 2. I realize that we will never find a house that we love unless we were to completely design it ourselves [and even then its debatable that I will love it! Ha!].
The List
We want to pull up the carpet and refinish the floors. We agree that this will certainly make the house shine. The plan is to do this between the closing and the last day of our lease [easier said that done].
The second project is to refinish the kitchen cabinets and move a non-structural wall to make the kitchen smaller [gasp!] and the dining room bigger. They are stock white cabinets that Home Depot and Lowes have in their kitchen section. I want to paint them either white-white [just freshen up the current look of the kitchen-this is my husband’s vote] or paint them gray [Just like Just Beachy did here].
[What do you think? I need help!]
We also want to put molding around the top to make the kitchen look more finished/custom. This should be easy relative to all the other projects. However, to have enough room between the cabinets and the ceiling, we will have to move them down several inches.
Other projects include: painting over the hideous colored walls, retiling the tub walls, installing new vanities in both bathrooms, tearing down and putting back up the sun porch, landscaping and many many more ideas to come!
Help me!! What color should we paint the kitchen cabinets: White or Gray?
