Everything and One, Looks Better with a Crown

As my dear friend the Lady R, the Queen of Everything says, there is just something about a crown. And our cabinets were no exception. When we bought Sad Yellow the cabinets were off white, from the loving that only many years of cigarette smoke can do. They had too many coats of paint and the knobs were mismatched and oddly placed. As much as we wanted to run to Ilea and gut the kitchen ( we do have an Ikea opening here next Summer woohoo!) that wasn't going to happen. An update was just what the doctor called for. Below I've added some horrible befores and some of Reds work along the way. For a house tour stop here.  We still have a ways to go, but my the process we have made! Like all of my posts so far this is definitely a major IN PROGRESS post...but it makes me excited to share a final draft some day soon!

Keep an eye out for Reds counter tops. More on them later!

Life With a Hot Tin Roof

Ok so technically it is galvanized steel, but our love of tin ceilings is what started this whole thing. However at $20 a sq ft ( Not in our teacher budget!) that was not happening! So we stumbled upon the picture below. Don't you just love Pinterest. After some planning, 2 trips to Lowe's and some creative measuring later we have a rock star finished project! I can't wait to get the walls painted and see this room come together, but here is a sneak peak!

I will be posting new pictures soon! Hopefully this will be finished by the end of the week!
