Whew! Painting the kitchen cabinets is taking me much longer to do than I anticipated, lol. Of course the only time I can work on them is in the evenings after dinner and by 9 pm I've had it and clean up for the night. The first 4 doors that I painted and hung I took down and resanded and repainted. I wasn't happy with them. I had used 6 inch foam rollers and that was a HUGE mistake as little pieces of foam would break off and imbed into the paint. I went back to Home Depot and bought 7 inch SMOOTH rollers, that resemble regular paint rollers. The results were MUCH better.
This is how far I've made it since Thursday night.
I'm taking a break for several days since my sister Diane came to visit me ( from Michigan) and will be here through Wednesday. :) Since working on the cabinets I have not had any time to do any crafting, but with Diane here, who is a crocheter, chances are we will work on our individual projects together while catching up and enjoying a few toddies! ;)
I'm having the 'big kids' and grand children over on Sunday for a final summer 'picnic' and pool party before we close it up for the winter. It's supposed to be a very HOT weekend.
Hope everyone has a happy and SAFE holiday weekend!
PS for the reader who was wondering how Tom painted the range hood: After cleaning off the hood to remove all grease, he masked off the silver areas on top and the strip on the front. He then sprayed a primer paint on the hood and when that was completely dry, he painted over that with black gloss.
