The New and Improved Flourblossoms Kitchen!

Well, its blizzarding outside right now, adding an additional 15 inches to the 25 we got on Sat! Fortunately, Sean's parents made it in Thursday before the snow started falling, and we've been hard it work pulling down wallpaper, sanding, painting, installing baseboards, changing light fixtures and putting in a new kitchen faucet.  Its been the perfect weather to get lots of home improvements taken care of, and the kitchen is overwhelmingly improved but I don't think its coming across as well as I'd like in the pictures!

I tried to do this from as close to the same angle as possible...


Yes this is actually the same part of the kitchen. I haven't actually loaded up that hutch yet, but I bought it at salvation army and painted it green. I kind of love it. We also pulled down the black rubber baseboards, put in wood ones, and took out the hanging light fixture and just put a cap on the ceiling right there.

Paint is really the only change here, but before we painted (Behr "dried plaintain") I was convinced I was going to paint the cabinets the same green as the hutch. I've decided maybe they aren't SO bad now and will leave them as is at least for a while.

And this I just had to change because I missed having a sprayer, and the other one was so low over the sink that if you had something in there it was almost entirely impossible to fill anything else up.

love it sis! What a great hutch . . . even without painting it, it looks nice, but the green is precious. Can't wait to see it in person!

I like your hutch. Especially in green. Great transformation so far.

It looks amazing! I love the hutch... It must be so nice to have a nest in Delaware, eventhough I know you are sorely missed in Texas :).

I am also a big fan of the hutch. You can tell you've been hard at work. Good job.

Great job, Lauren! Everything looks like it's coming together.
