Yes, equally you lot noticed the title, I've been working on some projects inward the kitchen together with that's what kept me away all terminal week.
It's been vii years since I gave my kitchen that large renovation where I got rid of the golden oak cabinets, added some moldings, a range hood together with gave the kitchen island a novel look. And it's been a actually overnice surgical operation kitchen together with the most of import room inward our house.
However, equally amongst most things, the passing of fourth dimension together with proficient usage convey set a score on it.
So, I decided this was a perfect fourth dimension to give it a refresh. I'm non going to alter whatever of the layout. The alter is going to come upwards amongst paint, novel hardware together with maybe novel lighting fixtures.

I endeavor to give the kitchen ii large cleanings a year. One during the Summer together with the other correct earlier the holidays. This yr I took a long Summer opor-garai together with when I came dorsum home, the kitchen was a disaster. I didn't build clean it correct away, I knew I had to practice something big. So, I finished other pending projects together with equally presently equally September arrived I started to emptying it up.
That pic to a higher identify was taking when I was almost done removing everything from the cabinets together with removing the doors. The entirely thing that I kept within nether the sink was the large bottle of soap, I didn't desire to disconnect the tube, I honey how that big container of lather together with underground piece of occupation together.
Now, retrieve I had problem amongst the stove knobs breaking? Well, they sent me novel knobs together with equally you lot tin run into entirely 1 remains inward place, all the others broke too. Good thing they sent me ii extra sets, I assume they're going to terminal a year, afterward that I demand to larn rid of this stove. :/
Well oh well, this is equally yucky equally you lot tin see. After all, that's the cabinet together with door that host the trash can. The correct pic is the plate rack, it's difficult to build clean inward betwixt those dowels, or so, that's the excuse I give myself, because I tin disassemble that plate rack together with set it dorsum together inward a thing of minutes.
As I said, the kitchen was dirty, those scratches on the doors together with some of the shelves bothered me, together with the pigment handling started to hold back sad.

The dandy thing virtually this wallpaper is that you lot tin take it easily equally you lot tin see. Add some H2O amongst a sponge together with tegument it off. Add some to a greater extent than H2O together with you lot tin scrape all that goo on the surface.
This is the pic I got afterward the wallpaper was removed, together with at that rattling 2nd my focus went to that lower trim down molding the arrows are pointing at.
