Refreshing Mantel Revamp

So I'm on a trip...trying to satisfy my craving for all things white!
I have two young boys...so alot of white is totally out of the question for me.

I have been debating with myself whether or not to paint my kitchen cabinets a creamy white, and distressing, or glazing them... When I mentioned the idea to my hubby....he was like "serious?"he had a smile on his face...so this might be something he'll let me take on the future. (hopefully near future)

So in the meantime...I'm trying some other things. Like...

My new coffee table...



And I painted my mantel.

AFTER

I totally love it...but it didn't serve its purpose, I want to paint the kitchen more now?

Should I flip a coin? lol

I totally get the white quandry. I love it too but with 4 younguns it just ain't wise. So I compromise by having bits of it around. Like your yummy coffee table. Love it.

Have a great weekend.

The mantle looks great! I love the white. I'd go ahead and paint the kitchen cabinets. You've got the spray gun, so it should be easier than straight painting. . . ?? Besides, white looks clean and refreshing. And you can always spend the next 18 years cleaning up ooey-gooey fingerprints off of 'em. :) Sorry for that reminder of why not to go white... but I really think you should. Take before and after pics!
