Onward, Kitchen Soldiers

Well, we've decided on painting the cabinets. The prep will likely be as time-intensive as it would be with staining, but I'm much more confident in my ability to produce a nice-looking finish with paint.

After a little bit of thought, we're also planning on replacing the countertop, putting up a subway tile backsplash, and adding undercabinet lighting while we've got everything dismantled.

A couple of photos for inspiration. The first is from a UK kitchen designer, and the second was posted on the GardenWeb Home Decorating forum.

Ummm...Glen...aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon? What in the world are you doing looking at our blog!?!

Ha!

I promise we are getting out and about and having a great time. We even spent the majority day at the beach today! And then we came back to the one of the many pools, took a swim and had a MARGARITA. The truth is, we are both such dorks that we can hardly go more than 24 hours without spending a little time on the internet. :) Also, unfortunately, We both started to get a little sick right before the wedding. I am feeling better, but we have discovered that if we try to get too much in one day, Adam spends the rest of the evening feeling like crap. So, long story short, we are on vacation = taking it easy. Besides, with your own personal pool on your own private balcony, we almost feel like we don't even need to leave the room! Almost...
