gray cabinets and me....

well, you know how I was considering painting my bottom cabinets gray....
well, I just didn't like it, I painted different shades of grey on the back of one of the doors I had removed and stared at it for days!!! and decided it wasn't for me....oh well...
but I wanted to share what I did paint...



but first I have to show you this great bench I found for the table,
I love it, I had it on the other side and really liked it there, but,
my children are related to Big Foot and they kept kicking it..
so to the other side of the table...



love it!!!!


ok, you know how my table is white,
and it was needing the top painted, just getting yukkie...and some one,
don't know who???? (whoops...Me)
got glitter on it...


so I decided to paint the top...


so out with the chalk paint in Paris Gray...


painted the top only...

and then sanded and sanded and sanded,
I swear I could of been on Survivor, felt like I was starting a fire...
there was some serious heat coming from that sandpaper...


waxed it after sanding...



I am really happy with it!!!
so I got a liitle gray that I had been wanting.
and will just paint the bottom cabinets white.

spooky....


spooky bug Terrariums....


these were super easy to make...
got the idea from Country Living, they used jars,(click for tutorial)
I just wanted something taller, so vases from the Dollar Tree, moss and bugs from there too,
bases from Hobby lobby.
 sticks from your prunings and some flat black spray paint...
super cheap and easy.
reminds me of a museum.

another one done...

yea! one more done, I just need to paint two more little doors that are going back up...this is taking me a bit longer...seems like other things get in the way...



the top is looking so crisp and clean, and really, it is so much easier to get dishes and put them away..
the bottom cabinets look soooooo dingy,
so either white or this soft grey...
I don't know yet!!!


I really like these,
I have the worst time deciding!

one finished...

I have one cupboard finished...


all painted,
I really love the beadboard wallpaper...
a little thing I do with the wallpaper is to go around the perimeter with a bead of white caulking, just to seal it.



put my new plates in...



this is where all the plates were originally, easy for the kids,
looks like I need some more glasses.
I think I am going to like this, we will see,
lol, another idea might get into my head..
off to paint the next section.


ps. it is easier for me to have just dishes, I am lucky enough to have a pantry that is a disaster...lol
