keeping you posted :)

It's a miracle that I'm writing a post so soon since my last. I'm so excited about our cabinets-can't wait to show you all!

See why I'm so excited?

Liberty's excited too!

This will be the backsplash
Italian tile "Agura Noce Muretto"

This is our floor tile "Revello Beige"
18in. x 18in.
We were not planning on doing the floor anytime soon but this tile was on clearance in Lowes Home Store for 50 cents each! They happen to match our color scheme. Now we have them, when we are ready we will have them installed. Sometimes you can not pass up a sweet deal like this.

getting things accomplished...

Just wanted to keep you updated on what I've been working on. 
Our kid's bathroom has a new toilet!
Notice the white tile on the walls? I'm extremely excited over how great this bathroom is coming along.


Nice, clean, white tub.
I used Rustoleum Tub & Tile epoxy
This is extremely easy to use. Mix two parts together (stinky!). I kept the window cracked open and a fan blowing through the room. I used a small paint brush for the corners and a smooth foam cabinet brush for everywhere else. It is self leveling, no streaks are left. This tile had a blue floral print, it took three coats to completely cover. Waited at least an hour in between coats. I could not find this product in the store, had to order it online. $25 each from Home Depot-free shipping on $50 and up. 

Here is a sneak peak on how our cabinets are turning out.
For this, I'm using another great product from Rustoleum. This is the Cabinet Transformation Kit in "Potter's Wheel".
$75 at Home Depot. Again, extremely easy to use. There are several steps to follow for correct application. This section is ready for the protective coat and then I will put the doors back on. I used Behr paint and primer in one (off White) for the inside of the cabinets. Here is a demo link if you're interested in seeing how this product is used: http://howto.homedepot.com/videos/watch/1490538925001/RustOleum-Cabinet-Transformations.html
