Brown Trim

Last week we made the trip home for Thanksgiving and worked in some Little House renovation time.

My project Wednesday was to re-paint the trim and cabinets.  Before we began the extensive renovation process, this is a peak of what it looked like.

A little spackle (my favorite!) and paint...

It was a MAJOR improvement...but being a girl someone who would like things to be the best they can be, I wasn't satisfied with the color I had picked out.

So, that's what I needed to take care of last Wednesday.

I found black bread color from Kilz, but just had it mixed up with latex semi-gloss paint instead of Kilz primer.

It took longer than I thought it would, but it turned out great!

Just a tip, dark paint is much less forgiving...

We also added a piece of painted trim to the back of the countertop.

I found a strip under the cabinets that had gotten missed during our painting before...

Perhaps leaving it 'sun-burst' yellow wouldn't have been so bad...
