Cherry Red For Valentines~

I'm really digin' my new rug! I love bright colors! I have several of these colors through out my house. When I decided to paint my kitchen cabinets I and thought I was going to change things up a bit...then I got this new rug and I have found out I do like the color pallet I have. I just need to freshen it up a bit! I was going to paint the rest of my cabinets white but now don't know?! I'm taking things slow!
I did paint my caninets under my kitchen sink a bright red color...here is how I did it.
Take a look at my inspiration kitchen HERE!

Kelly over at Rose Vine Cottage Two has been very helpful in my venture! Thanks Girl!

I hope you enjoy the Before and After pictures!


To get started I gave a quick sanding to my wood cabinets to take off the clear varnish.

Step 2 I did 2 coats of white Kilz primer and stain blocker (I wanted it to show when I sanded some of my red top coat to show wear)

Step 3 Painted 3 coats of my top coat {Cherry Divine by Valspar from LOWES}




Now its time for the hardware! And step back and check it out! If the color is not what you thought....its just paint. You can change it!

How do you think I did? I thought the red was to bright at first but I really like it! I'm so jazzed!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Peace,
Georgiann

    They look great and so pretty with your rug!! If you like color then you need to go with what you love (; A little bit of change can go along way!

    I think you did the right thing by just deleting the wierd comment you received. I've never gotten anything like that, but I have a few friends who have.

    Just delete and forget!

    Have a nice day!

    I love it! I am so impressed that you find the time to do this with your lovely large family. I have four under six, so far, and struggle to find the time for projects like these. I'll keep struggling though because beauty is so good for the soul...and I'm on a budget! ;)

    Hai Georgiann,

    You know, I love colors...
    Our home is full of colors.
    So I think to paint your kitchen cabinets is a GREAT idea.
    And RED makes me happy, and you?

    Love,
    Maureen
