Day Six-fourteen: one step forward...

one step back, one step forward. Isn't that how the saying goes? If not, that's how it works around here. 

We had the setback of needing to put a coat of something over the paint to protect it. Fortunately a local flooring store had Bona Mega in matte. Victory! Well, until we realized--only after painting all of the drawers and the smaller doors--that the color was wrong. We had picked a pale green that we really liked but when we put it next to the green countertop, yellow walls, and white oak floor it was too minty green. Bummer. So we went back to the color wheel and found three new possibilities.

Which would you pick?

In the meantime, we had to sand off more of the cabinets to take the new paint. It's slow-going. It took all day to do this and the next small cabinet.

Ok, time's up. We picked the color on the far right and have already tried it out on the small cabinet.

With the color chosen we could put coats on all of the components that were formerly green--drawer fronts, the small doors, brackets for shelves, and the new cabinet/shelf that we have to install.
