Painting Cabinets

This weeks ongoing project: painting the inside of these dark cabinets.  Outside was already painted, but inside was very dark and the wood was not consistent.  The cheap man's solution to under cabinet lighting?  Xmas lights!! And my solution to the dark cabinets was to paint the inside, the paint picks up the light when you open the doors, makes it look cleaner and newer for some reason.  Aaaand the paint that I used for my bedroom at my mom's house is almost an exact match to the exterior cabinet color.  Weird how things work out sometimes.  So I'm using this mini roller that I got from Ben Moore and slowly but surely 2 coats are going on.  Probably should have primed first but too late to turn back now.  The house looks a hot mess because the contents of cabinets are all over the counter.

Reupholstering an Armchair

My friend Liz is so crafty.  She recently took an old armchair, stripped off the fabric and recovered it by herself.  She died the fabric herself and sewed the entire thing.  Now that it's done, I have a new place to sit when I watch Homeland.
