This is my sis-in-laws cabinet.
My brother and sis that have ten children…all their own, and all within 14 years.
Yes, it’s true- don’t you love it?
Below is something that needed help.
Oh yes it did, and we were there to rescue it.
Do to the late time, and the fact that my chandelier is vibrating above me from some unknown source I believe they refer to as children, I invite you to read the whole post in its entirety. The original post includes all the pictures, how we redid this so simply that even children can do it (and they did), and the answer to the most common of questions –
“Do they know what causes it?”
The full effect is fabulous. They have a really wonderful cottagey feel in their home. It’s SO cozy, and the walls are a soft green…which isn’t evident here.
I love when something so simple makes such a dramatic difference in a home!

OH MY ….isn’t it gorgeous….
and it was so easy! Any single one of you could do this to your old hutch/cabinet with a few hours of time.

Thanks so much for viewing my mini presentation…for the full length feature, click here.
Scroll near the bottom of the page for how we did the cabinet.
This post was done in my first month of blogging…I had so much to share, and did it in WAY too many words. I had yet to realize that bloggers break up topics into multiple posts…hee hee
I’m still working on that!
That looks wonderful! I love “white” it makes it look so bright and new!
Great redo, Beauty and Bedlam!

The cabinet redo turned out beautiful. It really brightened the room up.
It’s beautiful! And it really makes a difference in the room!
I know you girls will have a great time at B’dom. I live probably 15 minutes away from the hotel, but was not free to attend that weekend. 🙁 Hope you’ll tell us all about it!
It looks beautiful painted – nice and bright and fresh!
Manuela
I too, love that cabinet redo. I hope to be tackling my kitchen cabinets sometime soon in this new year. We will see.
What an amazing transformation ~ well done!
Amazing indeed!!! Stunning transformation. I know you girls are gonna have so much fun. I wish I was closer to drop in and say hi! Looking forward to your blogs about the fun at Blissdom!

That’s an amazing redo! It completely changes the entire feel of the room. I know your sis in law really appreciated all the help with that. 10 children…what a blessing!

Whoa! That is a big change and I do love white! It really makes it brighter! Fabu!
Gorgeous! Love it!
P.S. Made me laugh out loud when you offered the bathtub for someone to sleep in at BlissDom. Ha.
ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT…I love what you did with this…such a great job…
10 children? GREAT SCOTT…10 blessings, for sure….
So pretty! I’m (almost) inspired to do my own cabinets! : )
I remember this one, Jen! And it is a beauty, you did a great job with it. Amazing what little ole’ paint can do.
And I am SO giddy with the thoughts of our slumber party! I’ll be the old lady in the bunch.:)
Great job on your cabinets!!
Is this not the best- getting to see everyone’s projects!!

What a fun time at Blissdom! That bathroom sounds quite inviting and entertaining. oh wait… that — you know what I mean with you decorators and characters, etc. 🙂 Your project is great!
And that burger preserve post, oh my goodness. wild. I did email you and answer your questions a week give or take ago. Just realized I wonder if you got it?
Also, I’m leaving open the Carolina Girls Rollcall! 🙂
It is just amazing how paint can transform something. Those cabinets look great. laurie
looks great…seems like a much needed redo
White will look gret with any color you paint the walls with in a few years! I use a lot of white to make our rooms seem larger. Great before and after!
Your cabinet turned out great! I also read the earlier post and let me tell you – it makes me not want to eat fast food anymore!
Wow! Thanks for letting me drop by!
Jen
Gorgeous!!!!!

Ooh, Jen, it turned out so great! And I would say a mother of 10 definitely deserves to be surrounded by beauty. What a sweet redo!
I’m amazed at how organized her house looks with 10 kids! If you tell me she homeschools too I’m going to off myself!
Love the cabnet! It turned out absolutly beautiful… 🙂
Laura
I remember your post about this and it is FABULOUS! I still can’t get over the 10 kids…WOW!!!
Hi Jen, Great Redo! The cabinet looks wonderful! I hope you gals will take lots of pictures at the blogger convention. Sounds like so much fun!
The burger below cracked me up! I’ve found in the car like that after who knows how long, but not years! LOL! ~hugs, Rhonda 🙂
Cabinet redo is great! Really brightens up the room. Love the new look.

That is a wonderful redo. I love that they have such a big family — awesome!
The buffet is wonderful…I would so love to do that to my buffet…but since MIL ‘rescued’ it for us 20 years ago from her SILw ho was going to donate it to the Salvation Army, along with the table. It’s all maple and she and my hubby both would have a fit. But I COULD go ahead and get scrapbooking paper and foam board and at least put that on the backs…..
I’m pretty sure you once wrote a wonderful piece about how to be a wonderful in-law. I feel so sure it was your writing…and now I can’t find it. Do you remember writing about it? If so, would you reprint/republish it? Thanks so much!
