Maple Glaze

The long awaited kitchen progress post! Only a few small-ish (compared to before) projects left to do in the kitchen. We used Behr's new line of paint with primer included and it worked like a dream! Straight over drywall texture, 1 coat with touch-ups, no need for toxic Kilz primer. The color is called maple glaze, but it's more of a burnt orange tone than a maple. We opted out of open shelves as we're still cooking without a vent fan and we would have had to find someone to custom build them. So next best option, horizontal shelves from IKEA. There will be a second set added above the first, and a small open cabinet on either side. These horizontal cabinets are awesome. I'll get a picture of the hinge up later, it's huge but it works perfectly.So all we have left are the 2nd set of cabinets, a range hood, finishing the kick boards,a tile backsplash, and sanding/staining the beam ends where the soffit used to be. The end is near and I couldn't be happier!
I'm going leave you with two little extras. One is this clock my mother found at TJ Maxx for 10 bucks but was pink until she saved it and painted the balls. And the other is a teapot I snagged from my grandmothers chicken kitchen last week along with some vintage pyrex.
