We still need to fill some holes, sand, add another stile to the cabinets (this is your basic building term for the vertical supports in a cabinets door, etc This will help it not look so boring) you can see what I mean in my little renderings that I drew really fast one day while Natalie, was napping.
I am really hoping to get this done by the end of the summer for sure. But who knows!

In this rendering, I remembered to move the dishwasher into its future home on the left of the sink. The problem with its current location is that you can’t be cooking and loading the dishwasher, so by moving it to the other side, I can cook dinner, while Justin cleans all the dishes I’m making – creating a perfect world, our own little Zion if you will.
Our church building is being remodeled, so we talked to the man in charge and he let us salvage some old, perfectly good window casings. We have already used the wood for several different projects, but my favorite project by far has to be the new display boxes Justin built for above the cabinets. It brings your eye up and helps me to store all my many, (maybe too many, but I won’t admit that again) dishes! In a few weeks we will putty and paint the entire cabinet so that you can’t tell they ever lived apart.
hi, i was looking up cabinet ideas and found these pics on pinterest. we have the short plain jane builder grade oak cabinets too. 🙁 i think we should keep them and update them and invest in a quality counter top. did you end up painting your cabinets? do you love them now? are there pics posted? thanks for the inspiration, darlene
