MIA is exactly what I have been lately. Where have I been? Well, not too long ago I went to my favorite primitive store and saw that she had a kitchen setup in the upper part of her shop. She re-finished her kitchen cabinets and I fell in love with them. Ok, I was obsessed with them (lol). So, I thought what the heck....... why not do something with those ugly oak cabinets that I have been staring at for over 5 years. So, I listened to how she did it and made the changes. It was an extremely hard job and a long job, but well worth the hardwork and sweat! I took off all the cabinet doors and took out the drawers. Sanded everything down til dull and painted them, let them dry and gave them another coat. I then let them dry and stained them. Let them dry and then hung everything up after doing the inside as well. I added simple wood knobs that I stained a dark walnut and VOILA - it is all finished and exactly what I was looking for. So, do you all wanna see why I have been MIA?
