The Bitch At Home: Kitchen Shenanigans

I'm sure you're ALL wondering where I'm at with the kitchen re-do.

Um..

I'm completely over it.

Here's what happened:

Fail.

Just ... yeah.

All we wanted to do was alter our cabinets a little bit.

A. remove trim
B. sand
C. repaint

Dunzo, right?

Fuck no!

Here's a little photo montage of what I've been doing since... JULY!

Here, I have pulled the doors from one side of the kitchen.

Here, the trim has been removed and the shit has been sanded
to within an inch of it's life!

Closer view. You can see where the heinous trim was.

Primed and ready for new paint.

So, I painted them.

And folks, I don't want to lie.
It's bad.
You can see every little blemish in the wood, even with the amount of wood putty, sanding and priming I did.

Sunday, OldMan started installing the new hinges and once we got one set of doors hung, we realized just how... tragic it was.

I'm not going to post pictures. It's ugly, and really, I don't really want to advertise just how inept at woodwork I am. OldMan swears that when he was yelling about how awful they were that he wasn't mad at me, that he was just angry that they didn't come out right. However, since *I* was the only one involved in this particular project, I feel that the blame rests solely at my bare feet.

There were tears and yelling and my deciding that being a DIY housewife was CLEARLY not my life's calling.

However, as I am in a position that does not require me to wear a bra, or even pants most days, I'm determined to get my shit together and make this work.

Beginning with heading up the effort to find a professional cabinet company to come out and tell me what it's going to cost to fix my kitchen.
