This is my "flip"...



We've lived in this "flip" for 2 years and haven't done a thing...until now. We should have taken pictures before we started, but we didn't! We started by painting the wall from white to Paper Bag Brown which made our light wood cabinets look pink! So, while Tyler was out of town one day, I started taking the cabinet doors down and sanding them. I didn't realize what a big job I had started, but it was too late to turn back! I'm still not completely done, as you can see. We've been living without drawer fronts for over a week now! Next order of business will be to get rid of the nasty vinyl floor and laminate counter tops! I'm hoping for black granite and wood floors (and to win the lottery). Tyler is a little more practical and wants to do tile, since he's doing all the work from here on out, I'm sure he's going to win! After seeing the pictures, I'm thinking new appliances would be nice...this could get expensive! We'll keep taking pictures to show off our progress and if we start any other rooms we'll take pictures before we start!

It looks so great. I'm quite impressed...that is a HUGE undertaking.It must be in our blood...you rip your cabinets apart, I ripped all of my baseboards out. We'll show these guys for leaving us alone! HeeHee!:)
