Here is where most of my time and energy has gone in the last week. Notice how dark my kitchen looks, even with the skylight. After receiving an astonishing estimate of $23,000 for cabinet refacing (yes, I said refacing not replacing), I set off for Home Depot and came home with lots of creamy white paint. This is a JOB. Clean, sand, primer, paint, repeat. The white paint also highlights the many imperfections in the wood, so I have been puttying holes, resanding, etc. The style will still be rustic when I am finished, but at least it should be brighter! Come back in a few weeks (months?) for "after" pictures.
I have hardly been in my studio at all, but this ocean theme quilt for my son is what is on the design wall. I also need to get going on the baby quilt for Emily. I have also been experimenting with paint and stitch for my 2007 journal quilt, but can't share any images online. Back to work for me today, so I'd better get going.

Yikes! You have taken on a big project, but I don't blame you. tht would be a lot to reface cabinets!!
Oh, I don't envy you that job! I like painted cabinets a lot. Whew, 23 grand is a lot of money! Think of the fabric you can buy...
Good luck with your painting. That is a big job, but will make such a difference. Creamy white sounds like what I would choose.
