Blushing Rose Antiques

Here is some pictures of my ongoing progress on the kitchen cabinet project.

This is my extra pantry closet all done and rehung.

Media cabinet in progress, and I FINALLY white washed my SUPER UGLY RED BRICK FIREPLACE, I totally should of done this 10 yrs ago when we moved in, but the guys were like, "NO!!! you can't paint brick!" and then this is what I heard for years on the wood work and the kitchen cabinets, "NO!!! you can't paint wood!!" As you can see I ignored them, and finally did what I have wanted since moving here, and guess what? Yep, they now love the way it looks, even the white washed brick, I'll post another picture of the fireplace after my talented carpenter son gets my mantle completed.

Here is a shot of the kitchen drawers, and in the background is the completed media cabinet, I love how they turned out!

This is the island, I am going to be adding beadboard wallpaper for a bit more texture, it's the Wall Doctor brand, and it looks just like the real thing! As you can tell this bar has a real "swooping" situation going on, (it's a 90's thing!) so the only way to add beadboard, was with the textured wallpaper. We'll see how it holds up to the barstools and kicking, everyone on the internet says, if you paint it 4 coats with cabinet paint, it's pretty tough. I'll keep you informed on that as time goes by.
