Victorian Kitchen

When we moved into this neglected, almost condemned Victorian, my husband wanted to tear out the kitchen cabinets but they were actually well made so, since we needed money for every other part of the house, I decided to paint them. He was upset when he came in and saw me painting them black but simply said that its already dark in here are you sure you want to paint them black? I told him to come back in a few hours. When he did he totally liked what he saw, not to mention the $5,000.00 we saved. They have been this way for 30 years now, so no sense in replacing them!!!!!!! After finishing the cabinets, I moved on to the pantry and closet doors, then to the walls. Finally moved throughtout the house, painting murals and simple paintings on the walls. One whole room is a mural, including floor and ceiling.
Thank you all to those who enjoyed this and asked for more pictures. Here are some that are scattered throughout the house and part of the porch. I did put them down in the comments section before I realized I could simply add on to these. I am so glad that you liked them!
