kitchen - makeover part I

This is how the kitchen looked when we saw the house for the first time. Didn't really impress me. It felt so dark in there and the cabinets are not really our style either. Since we didn't want to redo the kitchen right away we needed a quick (not!) and inexpensive fix to make it look nice.

Unfortunately these are the only before pictures I took.

First we replaced the banged up stove, greasy microwave above the range and the dishwasher. Then I took off all doors and went right to priming the cabinets. My parents were nice enough to sand all the cabinets and doors for me so I could start priming right away.

In the next step the cabinets got two coats of grey semi gloss latex paint. Already much better, right?
