Right now, even as we speak, my husband is painting our kitchen cabinets. With our daughter and her family coming over for a few days at the end of the week, he wanted the kitchen to look brighter. We seem to have a bit of a problem getting sunlight into our kitchen. We decided to help it look airier and bright we would painted the cabinets snow white semi-gloss. I know I will love it, I have wanted white cabinets in this kitchen for a while. I will be cheering him on and relaxing today. What are your plans for today?

Hope you have a nice day relaxing Susan. I need to do something here with my cabinets but of course it is rented apt and we cannot do so much ..I think I would love them to be lighter too..it would bring some light into the small space.

I would like to change the color of my kitchen cabinets, we have lacquered kitchen cabinets, I should replace all the kitchen.

@HazySue I cannot change the doors without changing all the furniture because all the kitchen is laquered.

Sounds like a great way to spruce up the kitchen and make it brighter. Plus the semi-gloss makes for easy cleaning. Today is my oldest daughters birthday so I'll be going there tonight for dinner and cake

Today I went to the pool first thing, took a nap, did laundry, and went to the bank. That's enough for one day. Painting always brightens up the mood and the room. I'm sure it will turn out very nice and make it look brighter in the kitchen.

@just4him They are finished and look fresh and clean and really help brighten up the kitchen. We still need to change the backsplash and countertops and it will be a pretty kitchen.

Today is Friday and my chores days and washing things. I will do my lot and rest while watching TV to get better and better each day with my lower back and left side bothering me. That is a great idea and hope it turns out brighter in the end.

@HazySue Thanks Susan. I went to the doctor yesterday and it turns out I sprained my lower back and pulled a muscle in my left side by my ribs. I hurt my ribs many years ago falling forward on a bus.

White will be a nice color. I was not feeling the Best all day, but did get time to paint some rocks for a change.

Are the rocks for personal use or to leave around for people to find?

White may show marks and such but it sure brightens up a room.

We had a pretty quiet day today, I made a ham for dinner and that's basically it.

@fishtiger58 I like cooking a large piece of meat, the leftovers are so good later. I will be cooking a couple of turkeys this winter too.

@HazySue It was really good. I am going to find a nice turkey soon and cook that up. I love turkey so as soon as the weather gets cooler I cook at least 6 of them through out the cooler months.

That sounds like a nice compromise in keeping the room lighter. My favorite cupboards were the ones that we had installed in our big home that we lived in, they were maple, not too dark and not too light. The cabinetry in this house is rather dark, but I can live with it.

I also think maple cabinets are nice. I would leave my cabinets that color if my kitchen had more light.

Good idea to brighten up the kitchen. Decades ago, we bought a house and the cabinets were green, and we hated that. So one day I painted them in a light yellow color. It made a big difference.

Light yellow is a pretty color for cabinets. It makes the room look light and airy.
