Boyfriend ReNo

Ohhh... how I wish I had a full picture of Chris's 1970's kitchen! You all would be HORRIFIED!


Chris and one of his roommates (the one I can't stand who is in the gray shirt posted in the picture below) will be leaving tomorrow morning to go back out to sea for 16 days.


I figured since I will be staying at the house come April for 10 months while they are on their "cruise" that it needed to girl-ified it a little bit. =)


Lets take a looksie shall we......
Item A:
Look how gross those cabinets are!

Item B: ~(don't mind the picture....)
Take a look at that gold linoleum! And you see that nasty color on the upper wall back there??? Yeah it's wallpaper painted over.

I don't have a picture of the awkward light fixtures that aren't centered so you all are saved there!

Although I will not be replacing the lovely linoleum during this time period, I will however be painting the cabinets white. (And maybe work on peeling the wallpaper off )

I've been wanting to do this FOR-EVER and as I was browsing through one of my daily stops Young House Love, I went into their "How To" section and found this inspiration picture.

I am hoping that Chris's cabinets come out looking like this.
Can you believe those cabinets are painted! I've already volunteered my sister to help with the big project as well!

Stay tuned for pictures! =)

Hope everyone is having a great day! The weather here has been awesome. I am starting to get Spring Fever!

  7. I remember when we did my mom's 70's kitchen, what a horror those tones of brown and beige.
