Before and (finally) After

Lovin' my cupboard!  it really brightens up the room.  I will definitely be using milk paint again!

Milk paint for the kitchen cupboard

Before color...

Milk paint (linen)

I finally got motivated to paint my cupboard!  I decided to use milk paint, and so far I'm really happy with the results.  I'm not a lover of painting.  I read blogs by all these DIY'ers who make it look SO easy and fast, and it's totally inspiring, but when it comes down to actually doing it, I tend towards hesitatation. 
So anyway, I bought this hand-made cabinet last January, or February (2011), and in September, it got moved from kitchen to basement, and there it sat, untouched, until now.  It's almost done, and I'm hoping  it will be back upstairs by Easter...we'll see  : )

My new 'handmade' kitchen cupboard

I found this cupboard/bookcase on craigslist. Although i was looking for something old & painted, I really liked this, for 2 reasons...number 1, it's hand-made, and number 2, I think after it gets a coat of paint, it will look  like the old kitchen cupboard i was imagining! Now the hard part...deciding what color to paint it?
