But every once in a while we manage to finish a project (even if it's a year late). And this just happens to be one of those times.
Now I will say, that this project pales in comparison to the home renovation projects that you see on other amazing blogs, but for us, this took a lot of effort, so I'm going to gloat all the same.
But now let's get to the fun part, right? The before and after pics.
Here's the before. Nasty yellow walls and original cabinets in all their glory.

And just to give you a little perspective - look how teeny-tiny O was back when we started (uh, that's embarrassing!)
And the after pics. With a little fresh paint on the walls and the cabinets. And some new little knobs too.

And look! I sewed a teeny-tiny curtain!
If I were rich and motivated, oh, how I would love new counter tops. But considering that I am neither, I think that this is just going to have to do for the time being.
