Okay, we bought our home in November, and the reason we chose this home was because loved the layout of it. Not because it had a beautiful kitchen, but because the kitchen had the potential to be beautiful; with Dad Peterson's woodcrafting skills of course. However, we started the project a little sooner that we had planned because every time Dad Peterson came to visit, he could not stand the sight of the old cupboards.( See first 4 photos) I am not sure what look the previous owners were going for, but it is surely not my cup of tea. I have always wanted a bright and cheery yellow kitchen, so that is the color I chose to paint it. I had to paint before they started the woodworking part of it. Brandon and Dad have been working very hard on building all new doors, drawer faces, and overlays. It has been a challenge with trying to get their schedules to coincide with each other. They did finish all the doors though. Shelbi took a day to help Grandpa hang all the cabinet overlays up, and then Brandon and I wood puttied the nail holes. Then we had to hand sand all the puttied nail holes and then varnish the overlays. My house had and still has a terrible odor. Thank goodness it is door hanging day today!! Almost finished and cannot wait. I will post pictures of the completed cabinet project soon. Probably when I get my kitchen back together. It will be nice to actually be able to cook a meal and sit down at the table again. I will keep you up to date on the progress. Until then....

I know what you mean about the smell. They finally came back to varnish our stair rail to match the cabinetry and it stunk for days. But it looks so nice despite the smell.
Kitchen is looking good! Can't wait to see more.
