Before: Honey oak cabinets, blue laminate counter tops, and oak trim
After: White painted cabinets, concrete counter tops, and white trim. So far we are pretty sure that total with paint, concrete, sealer, and spray paint, etc we've spent less than $1,000. That's quite the change! Very proud of all of Dan's hard work even if I do get resentful because he gets busier with these projects than I'd like. No more BIG projects for the winter!
Before: Large china hutch of the previous owners with identical wall art on either side
After: It's our cow! Hey cow!
Moo!
Before: Dark and dreary.
After: White and bright!
A couple more just for fun! If you look closely you can see he is in the process of transforming our dining room table as well. Painting the legs white and he'll stain the tops a darker color.

I love our "new" kitchen. I especially love the price tag. I don't always love the time Dan spends on it (he has self admitted that he is slow), but the end product is a huge improvement. I am so thankful that even though he has distinct and good tastes that at least he does it himself and for a fraction of the cost. House value too!!!
