Special Delivery!

Joy oh joy. We've got mail. Two great deliveries occurred in the last 48 hours and no, Kara hasn't had Reagan yet. First, my sweet parents sent us a brand-spanking-new paint sprayer. Check this baby out!

Frank says thanks, too! The timing couldn't have been better, either.  Our new doors also arrived!

We are happy with the details we chose. As much as the traditional shaker-style cabinet works with our home's 1926 birthday, we really feel like the added details will give the cabinets an extra bit of character.

We had the doors pre-drilled for the new hinges and ordered our hinges directly from the door manufacturer to ensure a proper fit.  Our old cabinets had wobbly, outdated hinges that fell off-track too easily.  We're not hinge experts, but these look like they'll hold up pretty well.

I got so excited to see our new cabinet doors, that I went ahead and took our existing doors off while Mark ran to Sherwin Williams to pick up our Escape Gray.  Tomorrow we'll empty out the cabinets, sand everything down, and clean up the dust.  This will include a much-needed clean up of the cabinet interiors. We're thinking that it may be wise to line them with contact paper, but we haven't made up our minds about it just yet. Any suggestions? We're too lazy to re-paint the interiors, so don't bother suggesting that. P.S. Do you think we like Oatmeal Squares?

Yes, that's my husband cooking me breakfast for dinner. He's the best. The kitchen is once again in shambles, and there's no turning back.
