Since we moved into our 1980's house a few summers ago, we've done a number of projects. Some have been "you can see the results" fun (i.e. new pool tiles and resurface, backyard turf, girls' bathroom overhaul), and some have just been necessary (i.e. root barrier system - which led to new front sod, attic beam fixes, etc.). I have been super ready to replace flooring, so I started getting some estimates. However, as I was heading that direction, we decided our flooring options would be broader if we did something about all of the oak in our kitchen and family room. Trim in all other areas of the house was already white, and as much as it kills me to paint over real wood, we decided to go ahead and update our cabinets.

AFTER
We left the beams because we love them, but everything else is now white - and it is SO open and airy. We love it! It's like a completely new house. Such a great transformation, and totally worth the money (even though I now need to work on building back up my flooring budget). Master bathroom and a number of other items are still on the list, but it's getting smaller every year!
