We haven't changed much in here but we did add a painting above the fireplace (and moved the mirror that was there to the upstairs hallway). This painting was my grandfather's and my mom kindly passed it on down to me because she knew how much I loved it. I love having such a visual reminder of him in our home.<br /><br />With the except of the lamps and the drapery panels we pretty much already owned everything in here before we moved which was nice. I think someday it would be kind of cool to have a chesterfield sofa in here to replace the white one but that's probably quite a few years away...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDRkuN_uyqLcjdMdbFnFrGnwVj7FzX1PWWganF8IQku22-mVrhkuNS9cZSYLQ3rcZt03LqBlnZwR7SAgzTgqCk66xU3_JtNsDKrdkufCX0jAxEHWh2gIWn49vNE4P2VZMIJpElzjbTOOVx/s1600/pDSC_9400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I just appreciate the power of paint to transform a room or piece of furniture and know how much money it saves by doing it myself. Because I am not that great of a painter I don't feel like I can possibly give any kind of painting tutorial seeing how I take short cuts and mess up half of my projects. We get a lot of questions though, about how we painted out cabinets so I figured I would at least share with you the approach we took to painting two different kitchens this summer so this is more of a "How We Painted our Kitchen" vs. an actual tutorial. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The cabinets have such a professional finish to them (minus my painting job of course, I just mean the actual durability) and I was surprised at how hard the paint dries - I can't imagine having any issues with chipping. Overall I was VERY impressed with how the advance paint looks once you are done. However, I am not going to lie - having to do five coats (one of primer and four of the paint) was NOT fun. Fortunately it was a pretty small kitchen. Because of that I used a different type of paint to do my kitchen here at home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, here is the approach I took when painting our kitchen.

I did NOT remove the doors - I know that will horrify some people reading this. Haha! (And if you are wondering about the crazy mess this photo was taken on the 4th of July right after we finished our dinner - having a small cookout in the middle of painting your kitchen is not really a very good idea.) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWiN2bqLJ_zB1Xe9D4du83-HbQhFaTHu97JfVXO4G8HcFLJ-Nen8vIGXbh3pKtD29RViyZNWSypxK2PJH3jXUiefYU67GG6Mfm6oh66RpAMcDbCew_l-RvuUFC8XWg5L0sg7dU8dAelDt8/s1600/IMG_3857.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWiN2bqLJ_zB1Xe9D4du83-HbQhFaTHu97JfVXO4G8HcFLJ-Nen8vIGXbh3pKtD29RViyZNWSypxK2PJH3jXUiefYU67GG6Mfm6oh66RpAMcDbCew_l-RvuUFC8XWg5L0sg7dU8dAelDt8/s640/IMG_3857.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Let me explain my reasoning for not removing the doors. It all boiled down to the hinges. This is the third kitchen I have painted. For the first two (the kitchen in <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/p/our-house.html" target="_blank">our last house</a> and Jason's kitchen) I would never have considered leaving the cabinet doors on. The other two kitchens though had cabinets with those hidden hinges. These cabinets had very dated and very noticable hinges on the outside of the cabinets. Initially my plan was to remove them and fill in the marks left from them and then put new hinges on that had that hidden style. Well, when I went to get the hinges I was surprised at the price and how much it was going to cost to replace all the hinges (I didn't mind the thought of replacing all the knobs and pulls but wasn't as excited about spending the money on the hinges). I still probably would have gone ahead and done it because I knew it would definitely be the best option but after starting to remove one hinge I realized how much work it was going to be to repair the cabinets in the hinge area to get them nice and smooth I decided I just didn't have it in me. When you are painting an entire house from top to bottom it gets easy to concede something like this. If I were just doing the kitchen then I think I would probably have gone ahead and done the extra work and replaced the hinges and sanded the doors down nicely and removed them to paint but with all the other projects I have on my list to do here (and all the ones at Jason's) it just seemed too overwhelming. So, seeing how I was going to leave the hinges I still wanted to make them less noticable so that meant painting them and at that point it just made the most sense (and certainly saved a TON of time) to just leave the doors on. It meant being more careful and going slower and using my paint brush more than my roller but all it all it was WAY quicker than the other way. =)<br /><br />After the priming was done we added two coats of London Fog in Benjamin Moore's Aura line (instead of their Advance line we used for Jason's). I chose the semi-gloss finish. I have always been a big fan of the Aura paint. It has a built in primer and is a much thicker paint, in my opinion, than the Advance. I just about always choose the Aura line for pretty much any and every type of painting. I definitely preferred only having to do two coats to the four I had to do at Jason's. However, I would have to say it does not have that same extremely hard, durable finish that the Advance has. Don't get me wrong, it still is pretty hard but definitely not the same so I could see somewhere down line possibly having some minor chipping/peeling issues.<br /><br />Once the painting was done I drilled new holes for the new hardware that I purchased at Lowe's. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1HxqWk0UwydgEuYlIOB49cmC6TMbJosOn80RS9uruG1jRvAMhO0ak8PGTdUi-NH3sTIH67b0EiaWD5H6dSxg5TkcjAACMqSNlte6_utB4hxSE3Om8UpX7MGAqvCt_xp18_hX2smr9xQK6/s1600/IMG_3863.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1HxqWk0UwydgEuYlIOB49cmC6TMbJosOn80RS9uruG1jRvAMhO0ak8PGTdUi-NH3sTIH67b0EiaWD5H6dSxg5TkcjAACMqSNlte6_utB4hxSE3Om8UpX7MGAqvCt_xp18_hX2smr9xQK6/s640/IMG_3863.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />I had to go to two different Lowe's to get enough of the pulls but I am glad I did because they are one of my favorite details.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzQ8iDJ67lhMUsi71xXCZKHo6ec3Y8bzkHUa-LRYmx0wh0gMfTag6UaW-Lt5Txt4YOquoZFrMYCSdiWsZXnyEmWpcr7m4N-hAL8ZH5CM-2nJBpLTiISEOZa3qMrQVplRNgUF7pV1LT5d5o/s1600/IMG_3880.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzQ8iDJ67lhMUsi71xXCZKHo6ec3Y8bzkHUa-LRYmx0wh0gMfTag6UaW-Lt5Txt4YOquoZFrMYCSdiWsZXnyEmWpcr7m4N-hAL8ZH5CM-2nJBpLTiISEOZa3qMrQVplRNgUF7pV1LT5d5o/s640/IMG_3880.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> I left the doors open for about 24 hours to help prevent any sticking. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5zCnFcVITcIX17Lr_i_4eUrsM0lpl0e1FEg5GiM_jDMedBPkVZRCzwDFOIsEXIWOmUhYa9nnyI0Q8U7-9FM4G8jz1kKBlFJ3ZXkXA01ieV_Zz_cPfRUgbymUIy7qbSvTb3-JwZg2NOjtV/s1600/IMG_3866.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5zCnFcVITcIX17Lr_i_4eUrsM0lpl0e1FEg5GiM_jDMedBPkVZRCzwDFOIsEXIWOmUhYa9nnyI0Q8U7-9FM4G8jz1kKBlFJ3ZXkXA01ieV_Zz_cPfRUgbymUIy7qbSvTb3-JwZg2NOjtV/s640/IMG_3866.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">So which paint and approach do I think is better? The approach part is easy to answer. Unless you have a similar hinge situation to what we had in our kitchen I would say removing the cabinets is the way to go! I think it's easier to get a more professional and smoother looking finish that way.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you are wondering which paint I would recommend that's a little harder. I am big fans of both and If I were to tackle another kitchen I would probably say the Aura because I like the consistency of it better and prefer the coverage it provides. That being said, I think the Advance is a slightly better option for cabinets and when it comes to the overall finished look the Advance slightly edges out the Aura. I think it's basically personal preference. For me I think I would choose the aura because I am I'd rather save my time a little and was still happy with how they turned out. If you are a perfectionist and have patience I would say you would probably prefer the Advance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And that's pretty much all I can think to share about painting kitchen cabinets. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can click <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/our-kitchen-makeover-on-budget-phase-1.html" target="_blank">here </a>for more of our phase 1 kitchen photos: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/our-kitchen-makeover-on-budget-phase-1.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR1gAR9EKc8V9nvAbxjsSFNIsuCrm-kmGRQ-VNiq_Hcvx3nSAz_zPMrqa-S_Ga5TE062QGOIlEwlVYNgWk2wBy4dv4fxMOyAk04S48GvV2DiWj-v4n-qT6fHAV35Li7WtqdMWZg7ftkEHZ/s640/vJuly_1619.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgShe2yoXkfE6lkHd3kHSG9Zn2Qg2hRHWcF-enc7Dbuc006uZrDXQ-6ocevb1f6Y4qxeLvxazvbw-fMXBspYKxl7LRiU27EKUInAsAsNHVqwP4JKgIYsEt2rG3OvhTmi-uCoE-rtvVFsMJi/s1600/vJuly_1569.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgShe2yoXkfE6lkHd3kHSG9Zn2Qg2hRHWcF-enc7Dbuc006uZrDXQ-6ocevb1f6Y4qxeLvxazvbw-fMXBspYKxl7LRiU27EKUInAsAsNHVqwP4JKgIYsEt2rG3OvhTmi-uCoE-rtvVFsMJi/s640/vJuly_1569.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />And here for more details on phase 2:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/our-kitchen-makeover-before-and-afters.html"><img alt="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/our-kitchen-makeover-before-and-afters.html" border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcqCwiCb-HBSUcpu3qGaT8mHiFXIApdR0ovGu6SVYyspO6ECvq_qtFm2mK2DWnOvZEIMYMcwtUzOuuPQTBrW77Cz6R5EDru__RDSQU7ZyhcxSU04KtX3uLfBlebj0ELP2c-NDbs11yjRAy/s1600/jDSC_7979.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/our-kitchen-makeover-before-and-afters.html"><img alt="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/our-kitchen-makeover-before-and-afters.html" border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsYQ0AJNzWQSZCRtyO-uR2RFui4gQdkr3-f2pNa0U-pGNij9tCfhO8yRwuQFW0_3RKOq19WXjIqv4Tu45-u6JNSj390XdBBcasruehdVvQDAabRHJa-yQFxhhBfCaXV0O4be0C5aEJfEY9/s1600/jDSC_8156.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

How We Painted Our Kitchen Cabinets (Two Approaches for Two Kitchens)

Although I have done a LOT of painting in my life and have a LOT of painting ahead of me in this hosue I really have no idea what I am doing...

My Teeny Tiny Home Office

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>We don't have much extra room in our home so I have all of my computer "stuff" (oversized printer, silhouette machine, camera chargers, etc) and paperwork stored away here in this big armoire. I hate for wires and electronic stuff to be out in the open so this works perfectly. I have never really liked the way this piece looked, however, I LOVE it's functionality. It's a long story but I actually got it for free a few years ago and design-wise it has always driven me a little crazy because it was so clunky looking and really too large for the space, but practicality-wise, I have to say I couldn't live without it! So, seeing how I have been on a painting frenzy lately, I decided to go ahead and paint it to see if lightening it up would help. I like it so much better now! Unfortunately, thanks to the fact that we live in a townhome and therefore have very few windows in our whole house, the only windows in this room go off to the porch so the natural light in here is awful for taking photos. Especially on this side of the room. I was too lazy to get my tripod out so these are pretty grainy and the color looks lighter in these pictures than it does in real life. It is a darker grayish/tan than it appears in these photos.<br /><br />I am happy with how it turned out and the best part - not only did I get this piece for FREE a few years ago, I painted it for FREE too! They were giving away free quarts of paint at our Ace Hardware so I of course snatched one up. The paint was a different brand than I usually use but I had them mix up a Benjamin Moore color for me - Valley Forge Tan. I would say it more gray than tan though. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA5NBxKld5mimVhNCfsA4ROuZaDth7NcXkkk6mxrawlCQbU1ci1BfW86q6P7YefSz-GVXJH_LyZSQN8wfEyQSNS0XAuK_8O6pvnuROuKQSTPbJ6tFWjKuUb3X-kuDQagr9G3pOn38YF3G8/s1600/vDSC_0480.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA5NBxKld5mimVhNCfsA4ROuZaDth7NcXkkk6mxrawlCQbU1ci1BfW86q6P7YefSz-GVXJH_LyZSQN8wfEyQSNS0XAuK_8O6pvnuROuKQSTPbJ6tFWjKuUb3X-kuDQagr9G3pOn38YF3G8/s640/vDSC_0480.png" width="436" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Here it is before. The other night when I was about to start painting I realized I wasn't sure if I had any pictures of it before so I took this one. Thanks to the fact that it was in the wee hours of the morning and with no natural light it looks worse here in the photo than it actually did. (Although it was very heavy/clunky looking!) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7Cuaz6KrdMex-_Oxw-kUHdmJeL_x6FXOXYnr12m6ACi33SNM6zm7JYHOE2cG4gxzXBfKtEAOx4BVQZXYwuoRKJm5COFQ18AnCZjFnn55uFls8zN0luiKl8HxiL9qJNPRuxwwBQ-Nremj/s1600/vDSC_2398.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7Cuaz6KrdMex-_Oxw-kUHdmJeL_x6FXOXYnr12m6ACi33SNM6zm7JYHOE2cG4gxzXBfKtEAOx4BVQZXYwuoRKJm5COFQ18AnCZjFnn55uFls8zN0luiKl8HxiL9qJNPRuxwwBQ-Nremj/s640/vDSC_2398.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">When I looked through my photos later I could just find glimpses of it.
