- Vignate Picnic Tin Vignette – The Hallway Take 2
- Hallway Progress – Dinosaur, Old Man Yelling, and MORE!
Did we already mention how many mistakes we made before we entered the house?
Well, the biggest was obviously trying to paint too many cabinets too fast!!!!!
So after the staples were pulled out of the floor, in the hallway, to get ready for our new floor, AND DID YOU SEE THE FLOORING, the cabinet needed to be sanded and then we will start all over again.
Here is what we started with…
BEFORE
Well, scraping paint off isn’t the most fun thing in the world.
I seem to be doing A LOT OF IT LIKE HERE, CINDERELLA!!
Or is it….
Did you meet Pete the Pterosaurus Flying Dinosaur?
And Mr. Grumpy Pants “Get off my lawn!”
Hello My Grizzly!
“Pikachu you are looking a little pale.”
This guy is just Despicable!
And apparently this guy just thinks everything is soooooo funny!
Yeah, The Mister loved getting these text messages.
Hey, if you have to do it, you might as well have some fun, right? That’s the motto around here, making the most with what we got. I made the most of that mistake!
Here’s the cabinet all ready to be painted…
We will be painting this and then laying the flooring next in this hallway remodel.
What did we learn-
1) Don’t crazily go into your new to you home and paint cabinets willy-nilly!
2) If you make a mistake, you might as well have some fun with it. I once heard a Pastor say it he could get a good story out of something the experience would be worth it.
Check out the other posts from this series to see how the cabinet and hallway turned out.
Love it! I have to tell you this post title is really catchy and your “dinosaurs” are hysterical! That is a great cabinet – can’t wait to see the finished product.

Thanks so much Jen!! We should have a painted cabinet soon!
Nice progress! Such a difference what a can of paint can do.
Inspiring Kitchen, Thanks for stopping by. The can of paint will make a difference when we get it done!
Enjoy the journey! Even a cabinet remodel can be crazy! …your paint scraping brought back memories of our doors in this house!

Wendi, This whole house is in disarray right now. Even though we aren’t do a whole remodel we are changing something to every part of this dated house. I love seeing the transformation though! Thanks so much for your comment!
Oh boy that is a ton of work! I have done it with my hubby and it was stressful! Look forward to the finishing product!

April, It is a ton of work but will be worth it. You’ll have to come back to see the final product.
I’m a terrible painter! It seems like I always miss a step!

Cyndi,
Yeah, even though I like a fresh coat of paint, it’s not my favorite thing to do. Thanks for stopping by.
I love that you can find humor in such a labor intensive job. Good tips for when I repaint my cabinets.
