Remodeling the kitchen/dining room

  I have trouble controlling my creative thoughts-- once I see something or have an idea I just cannot rest until I try it.  My husband understands because although it's in different "areas" of interest he's the same way.  Sometimes we drive each other crazy but in a good way....one thought leads to the next and then we start giving each other ideas...

The phrase "You know I was thinking...." strikes fear in the heart of my husband....

We have put our house up for sale.  So it has been a real balancing act when it comes to "fixing" it to sell. 

We remodeled 2 bathrooms.  But my brother- in-law does this sort of thing for work so he did those for us. Once those were done I started looking at the kitchen and dining room....and said 

"You know I've been thinking...if we're going to put a new floor in maybe I should paint the cabinets again...." and the picture below is what happened...

One thing leads to the next....this is in August people WITH NO AIRCONDITIONING.  In OHIO.  It was hot, humid and my son's second birthday was at the end of the month....

But I'm looking at pictures like this...

And this.... 

And thiiiisssss......

These are MMMMMYYYYY colors people!!!!  I adore this peaceful blue green gray feeling....and LOVE the clean white cabinets....the dark wood...the whole combination I love all of it....One more "before" picture to leave you with until I post again...
