New and improved painted cabinets

Here is a story of some blah blah blah cabinets in my den.

They started out so bland and brown and had a big hole in the middle of them. What to do, what to do...

Well the answer for me to anything household  is to paint it...and add some cabinets in the middle of it.

Then as the crazy home owner would be she is wanting to change it again.

So now the cabinets looks like this.

Oh wait the flor de leis on the top fell over....

There that is better...but it is too dark. Sigh, I can never win.

But Veggies Tales is playing, so everyone is happy.

I decided to glue some cornices on the bottom with gorilla wood glue.

If this was actually holding the weight of anything I wouldn't have glued them up.

I just do it because I am lazy like that.

Now that I have found my new love of Halycon Green, I am like a crazy wild woman painting everything I can with it.

First I got this on clearance at Hobby Lobby for only $2.80

This thing is heavy people. If I have a intruder this would be what I would grab.

Then remember these candlesticks?

and they were made out of newel posts?

Well I finally got a place to use the tops that we cut off!

LOVE THEM!!

Then I got this little dandy at Goodwill.

Of course I had to paint it, but I went with heirloom white.

I also painted my big ol' W.

It was a dark red but I wanted it to be more bright red. Cuz every room needs a punch of red...doesn't it?

I had these sweet things in my dining room cabinet.

I LOVE the fall and decided to go on and get things started in the fall decorating department.

I will add more as the weather actually starts to feel like fall.

So I am pretty happy with my cabinets going from this...

To this...

Then to this!

Mr. Genius is not really happy with the new blue... I told him to not worry about it, in 6 months it will be a different color. ; )

I will be posting to these parties.
