Kitchen Mini Makeover Progress

Hey there!  The polar vortex has officially striking Oklahoma.  We were close eighty degrees yesterday in addition to lead maintain a high of xl today.  Yikes.  I've been anticipating the colder weather condition in addition to working similar crazy inwards betwixt some large events to complete upward lots of projects that needed to survive done outside.  Over the weekend, I finished spraying all of the kitchen cabinet doors in addition to drawers, 2 nightstands, iv lamps, in addition to a headboard.  And created a fantastic mess inwards the garage (much besides windy to spray pigment outside, fifty-fifty though the weather condition was nice).

Although I've finished that share of the kitchen painting, I'm but straight off staring on all of the base of operations framework.  First I lead maintain to tackle this niggling department close the sink.  When nosotros did our large kitchen remodel 4 years agone in addition to swung out that department of the counter inwards club to brand room for a larger island, a weird spot was left that I didn't anticipate in addition to didn't know what to do with.  So, I but added some molding to endeavor in addition to camouflage it until I could figure out what to do.

Here's what I came upward with:  On the right, I'm cutting an opening in addition to adding a tall door.  It volition give to a greater extent than access to the expanse nether the sink (I tin slide large platters or my electrical griddle through there).  On the left, I'm adding a wider drawer front end in addition to novel wider door below to residuum things out.  I'm non cutting out whatever of the frame at that spot because there's a divider behind it, in addition to therefore the novel drawer front end in addition to door volition but encompass some of that frame up.  Not a perfect solution, but I recollect the novel doors volition expect slap-up in addition to are the best choice for what I lead maintain to locomote with.  I'll demo yous a unopen upward of how it turns out when I'm finished.

As I mentioned on Instagram, I'm definitely non an opened upward shelf person!  The doors lead maintain all been off for most 2 weeks straight off in addition to it's driving me crazy.  I volition tell that it's dainty in addition to slow to instruct things out in addition to set them away, but I'll notwithstanding survive doing a happy trip the low-cal fantastic when those doors instruct dorsum on.  You tin actually run into the divergence betwixt the one-time in addition to novel pigment coloring here.

HARDWARE-

The brass pulls are looking oh in addition to therefore pretty on the drawers-

but for the doors I lead maintain some decisions to make.  Have yous seen these gorgeous novel knobs from Hobby Lobby?  I was at that spot on Sabbatum trying to circular upward knobs, in addition to saw these for the commencement time.
Brass in addition to glass, $2.50 each on sale!!!

I'm trying to create upward one's heed if they're substantial enough.  Here are my top ii choices.  The knob on the left is from HL also, but I've sprayed the ORB backplate to tally the brass.  I dear the fresh, modern expect of the 1 on the right, but trying to create upward one's heed if the size is right.  I welcome your input inwards the comments!

 For the pantry doors I lead maintain a few hardware options also.  Here's one- I would brighten the gold, but this is a criterion doorknob in addition to I but demand dummy knobs, in addition to therefore it would lead maintain some re-working somehow to survive able to attach it.

Option ii is an oversized cabinet knob amongst a backplate (to survive sprayed brass).  But, do yous run into the drawback here?  The post service isn't long plenty to instruct all the way through the door.  I recollect nosotros could drill a larger bag hole most 1/2" through the dorsum to survive able to attach the nut, in addition to therefore that mightiness work.  These also don't projection equally far out equally the other knob, which would survive practiced to lead maintain to a greater extent than clearance to a greater extent than or less the doors.

Did yous honor I decided to instruct white amongst the pantry doors?  The votes were pretty mixed when I asked for opinions a few weeks ago.  I actually idea I would pigment them black, but the to a greater extent than I idea most a dark island, the stainless fridge, in addition to dark doors correct at that spot together, it but wasn't feeling right.  We'll endeavor this out for straight off in addition to tin e'er alter them upward later.

I'm also stripping the pigment off of all the brass cabinet (40) in addition to door (16)  hinges.  Not hard, but slightly tedious.  I've finished the hinges for the pantry doors in addition to they're looking good!

Craigslist came through in addition to I flora a slap-up carpeting for inwards front end of the sink-

And I lead maintain 1 or ii to a greater extent than surprises nether wraps correct straight off (I'm waiting to run into if the plans inwards my caput volition work!) that you'll but lead maintain to remain tuned for.  I can't hold back for my ain kitchen reveal, mainly because that agency my locomote volition survive done!

I'll exit yous amongst a reminder of my pretty inspiration photo... Happy Tuesday everybody!
