Kitchen Make Over Update: Video 6

Hi Friends,
Ahhhh! The birds are singing over here at The Chalkboard Cottage...I'm moments away from finishing painting our last bottom kitchen cabinet in French Linen chalk paint. My husband just started replacing our backsplash as well. Our goal was to finish our kitchen make over by the time we hosted family for the Christmas holiday which begins over here in a less than a week.

Let me show our progress so far:

Thanks for joining us along this journey. It's taken quite a while but was relatively inexpensive and worth the time and effort! 

Stop back by soon and I'll share the final reveal!!!!!

Take care y'all.

Happy decorating & living,
