Painted kitchen cabinet before & after (plus how they’ve held up over 14 years)

March 20, 2022March 22, 2022 by Jessica

When I toured my would-be house back in 2007, I almost passed on it because of the kitchen: no dishwasher, dark wood cabinets, handles made out of a questionable metal, and one of the ugliest vinyl floors I’ve ever seen.

How to take care of your leather high heels (and fix stuck heel tips)
