Here is my first cabinet all done. Doesn't the moulding at the top make all the difference? The pictures do not do it justice because of the flash.
Here is a close-up of the distressed black.
And then I would make dear Thrifty Decor Chick proud with my moulding project. It is seriously as easy as she tells us it is! And she happened to post about her latest moulding project, so go check it out. I heard the angels singing when my mitered corners actually lined up! Here's another great tutorial on moulding. You have to try it! It cost me $15 for all the moulding on my island and the end of the other cabinet and then $5 for my miter box and saw. SWEET DEAL for the difference it makes, dontcha think? Now just imagine it with a distressed black paint job that it will soon receive. I am also going to add some qaurter round, similiar to this, which will make it look a little more custom and hide the craptastically, cheap cabinets that they are.
And lastly...
I AM IN ♥
I borrowed this from a friend and I am totally going to buy one. For $17 this makes painting a big project GLORIOUS!
The cabinet looks awesome. Can't wait to see the island when you're done.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Can't wait to see more! Is little Miss Kayla paying close attention? ;)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I can't wait to see it all finished! Jen
ReplyDeleteCan you paint the actual cabinets with that or just the doors that have been removed? I've been thinking about painting my cabinets, and I think with one of those I could actually get it done.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that I think it looks great so far. I am totally inspired!
ReplyDeleteLove the distress, it's great. The moulding is fantastic too!! Great job!!!! : )
ReplyDeleteLooks really awesome. Your kitchen is going to have that high end look when you are finished. How proud you must be of yourself and rightfully so.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea those were only $17! That's a must have!
WOW WOW WOW!!!!! It looks SOOO good!! I bet you are in heaven! I love the island too!! I still need to repaint mine again (didn't do it right the first time) and last night I was laying in bed thinking of how I may change mine up a bit. We'll see... :)
ReplyDeleteYour cabinet looks fabulous! I love the distressed black paint treatment. Can't wait to see the finished island! No pressure, though...
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic! It will look great when you are finished.
ReplyDeleteWill you do a tutorial about how you distressed them?
ReplyDeleteWhat paint color you used and anything else you did?
Thanks!!!
What is that can thing? Do you have to have an air compressor to use it? I'm intrigued!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Looks great! If I could only talk my hubby into letting my paint our cabinets. He keeps saying no because it's a new house...but I didn't get to pick out the cabinets. I'll have to show hiim this post.
ReplyDeleteThey look GREAT!! This might have inspired me to tackle our cabinets...if I do, I will let you know. You got my wheels turning though =)
ReplyDeleteOh, and when I saw your decorated Hammer on your last post...I just lost it...you are a Hoot (which is a Good term I use!)
Sincerely,
Melissa
So fab! Don't you just LOVE paint! It makes such a difference for hardly any green! I have your painted cabinets and TDC's moulding on the brain in a big way. Thanks for the sneak peek! Can't wait for more!!!

ReplyDeleteI am so jealous! I LOVE the project you are working on and I will be so excited to see how it all turns out! Your island is going to be gorgeous and adding the trim is really going to bring in great detail! Those sad, plain cabinets don't know what is going to hit them!

Hi Beckie, I have an award for you at my blog! I love the way the cabinets are looking... I wish I could see it working in my kitchen, but I think my kitchen is just too dark already.
ReplyDeleteI discovered you through a google search. I am wanting to paint my wood bathroom cabinets like this. You did a fabulous job. Will you be doing a tutorial? I'll check back.
