Quick, cheap and hopefully better

Actually anything will be better than my current kitchen. I can't afford a new one for another year or more so this long weekend I'm painting the cupboards and playing with some ideas for that end wall. I've already switched out the lights for a couple of industrial shades and when it is all done I will definitely tidy those open shelves (I promise). I'd love new counter tops and dream of heading off to IKEA for a few lengths of their wooden work tops but not this weekend and not without a car (or a driver because believe it or not I can't drive). I now live a two and a half hour public transport trip from the big blue shed and I can't quite see me lugging counter tops home on the train. Solution for now until I can con someone into a trip to Logan is to paint the benches as well. Just after I took this photo I climbed up and scraped off the last of the wallpaper then started on the first coat on the cupboards. Painting isn't as fast as you first think it will be is it? And there are more cupboards on the other side. Thank goodness I have the whole long weekend to go. I'll be back tomorrow with more progress pics.

All I have to say about this post is OMG how have you lived with that gawd-awful blue for this long?!?!?!
