A makeover using green paint and fabric!
I painted my kitchen and did a minor facelift on it three years ago.
The cabinets were maple and thats when I discovered
Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint and used that to make a drastic improvement.

in the world left that are in their dark stained condition, so its OK.
Here it is the day it arrived.
My walls were a sunny yellow and it is just so funny
to look at how many things have changed in this room.
I certainly have been finding my style and editing things
