Back In The Kitchen!

We just finished another project in the kitchen!  Meet my new blackboard.

It’s on the door going to the utility room

I love it!  Hubby drew out the entire project for me.   I had thought about doing a separate blackboard and then attaching it to the door, but we go in and out of this door constantly.  We finally painted the blackboard paint directly onto the hollow core door.  Then we used old fence pieces for the trim.  I was going to leave the trim more rustic, but several splinters later we decided that probably wasn’t a good idea.  The trim is  painted with A.S. Provence chalk paint and then lightly glazed.  I applied several layers of clear coat.  Then Hubby attached the trim with his handy dandy nail gun!

Then…..with the door looking so pretty……I decided the center island needed a bit of a pick-me-up. 

Again….Provence chalk paint.  Then her pretty legs got a little Provence and a little Old Ochre.  Again I applied just a little bit of light glazing.

Is she stylin’ or what?! 

I would eventually love to do a zinc top. ( Baby steps Denise……baby steps.)

The kitchen is coming along.  Next I need to decide what to do about that wine rack above the fridge.  Not that I don’t love wine.  Heck I could use a couple of glasses after all of this work. 

I just don’t love the wine rack any more.  It would be a major pain to tear out so I think I’ve decided to do a little curtain to cover it.

Then paint the walls.  Yuck!  Anyone up for a paint party!  Yeah…..I didn’t think so……

Lastly….this is Miss Molly’s newest adventure.

Grab a dish towel off of end of the center island and ruuunnnnnn.  Willow cheers her on.  I wash a LOT of towels these days. 

Couldn’t get rid of those creepy eyes.  Oh well. 

Hope that everyone has a fabulous week.
