So there they are.
We started out by painting all the cabinets a light grey color and that really made a huge difference.The room really brightened right up but we could tell as soon as we finished painting that removing all that extra trim would really make the whole room feel so much more open.
It was one of those jobs that really extended how long this whole project took by a lot, but in the end it was worth it..So down came all that trim!.We removed those little wavy pieces over the windows as well as all the trim running along the tops of the cabinets.. We were actually able to cut those same pieces of oak trim down to fit our new design, so that was really convenient.
Instead of having one long piece of trim running all along the ceiling and joining all the cabinets together, we decided to trim out each individual upper cabinet.That really maximized the openness of the ceiling and kind of gives the feeling of individual pieces of furniture in the room.
I love this look for a kitchen because it’s both an updated look and also totally appropriate for an old farmhouse like ours..
This was a pretty simple job overall, but one with a really big impact.I’m thrilled with what I came up with!.
First of all, here are the ingredients.I always find it disappointing when I think I’ve found a really great recipe, but then discover that it’s got really obscure ingredients that I don’t either already have on hand or can get easily at the local grocery store.
I love those recipes that you can run to the kitchen and make right away if the inspiration strikes!.Unsweetened Shredded Coconut.
