"Love your Kitchen Week" turned into Love your Kitchen Month. Our kitchen has had a lot of changes.
First: A deep cleaning.
Second: New Paint. We had our whole apartment professionally painted (paid by our landlord). It is amazing how paint can even make your furniture look good. Our house feels clean and fresh. The biggest transformation was in the kitchen. The ceiling, cupboards and walls used to be a light blue. The ceiling and cupboards are now white and the walls are an off white. We are happy that the blue is gone.

Third: I put new contact paper in almost all of the cupboards. Who knew that this would take FOREVER?!!! There used to be a blue floral pattern from the early 80s. Now it looks so clean and bright in there.
Note the clean, white contact paper, NOT all the pots and pans shoved into a tiny cupboard.
Last and definitely not least: Our new kitchen table. We should have taken a before picture. We got this table from Justin's parents. It was a neighbor's craft table. Justin sanded off all the craft paint. He used polyurethane for the table top and and antique white on the legs. Justin did an awesome job. Now we just need more chairs.
