Welcome to The Farmhouse Friday Link Party #68!
Hey friends! How was your week?
Have you ever had a really big project in mind, but you put off starting it because it was so big?
And when you finally did start said project, it took what seemed like forever to get it finished because it was so big?
That’s where I’m at with my kitchen cabinets.
As you can see we have a large kitchen with a lot of kitchen cabinets.
That’s great in of itself – lots of storage and plenty of room to prepare meals!
But I really didn’t have an appreciation of the number of cabinets we had until I decided to paint them.
By myself.
I was hoping to have it wrapped up by the first of August, but obviously that didn’t happen.
I decided the only way I was ever going to get it all done was to just power through it this week. But one thing I don’t do well is working on the same task day in and day out for several days straight. I feel like I’m in Groundhog Day, but instead of chasing groundhogs I’m in an endless loop of cabinet painting hell.
I’m hoping to get it all finished by the end of the weekend so that a. I don’t have to do it anymore, b. I can post all the after photos here, and c. you don’t have to listen to me complain about it anymore. 🙂
This week’s features:
Decorating with Tobacco Baskets by Penny’s Vintage Home
Penny shares some creative ideas to use tobacco baskets in decor; some of which I’ve never seen before!

Thanks so much for stopping by The Farmhouse Friday Link Party! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and week!
Michelle I have a few small projects to finish that I cannot seem to do for whatever reason – even I don’t know. So it comes as no surprise that you would have a hard time with a project as big as your kitchen cabinets. Good luck. I’ll be cheering you on from here, while still, I get nothing done. 😉
Thanks so much Mary! 🙂 I hope you find the inspiration to tackle those little projects. Have a wonderful weekend!
I feel your pain, Michelle! I painted mine a few years ago and I groaned the whole way through, and I have a much smaller kitchen. Take it from me, it feels soooooooo good once it’s done. You can do this! Thanks for the party 🙂
Thanks Marie! 🙂 I’m not much of a drinker, but I’m definitely going to be knocking back a couple to celebrate once I’m done! 😀 Have a great weekend!
We transformed our dark kitchen into a bright space by painting the kitchen cabinets a few years ago……what a job! I feel your pain…lol! Thanks for featuring my tobacco basket post!
You’re very welcome Penny! 🙂 I love your beautiful white kitchen – it’s one of the kitchens that inspired me to paint my cabinets. Have a wonderful weekend!
thanks for hosting another great party. can’t wait to see the kitchen done. xo- maryjo
Thanks so much MaryJo! I can’t wait to see it done either! 😀
Your kitchen’s looking awesome, Michelle! Fit for a magazine, I think! Just. keep. swimming. Have a great weekend!
Awe thank you Lora! 🙂 You have a great weekend too!
Ugh, I can’t even imagine painting all your cabinets, so you have my complete sympathy. I can’t wait to see the finished product. It’s going to be marvelous!
Thanks so much Joanna! I’ll never do it again; at least not in a big kitchen! 😀
Michelle
I appreciate you so much! Thank you for hosting.
Thank you so much for sharing my Repurposed Vintage Jewelry
in your feature. Your Kitchen is beautiful.
xo Lisa S
You’re very welcome Lisa! I love vintage jewelry and creative ways to repurpose it like you did! 🙂
Thank you Michelle for your 68th Farmhouse Friday.
Joy
You’re very welcome Joy! 🙂 Thanks so much for joining us each week!
Michelle I know EXACTLY what you mean! The only reason our cabinets got painted and finished in a week is because my husband was off work for over a week for snow a few Januarys ago and we tackled them because we were snowed in! I have a ton of cabinets too. Now I am wanting to repaint them before all the fall tours and hops, I don’t think I am up for it. Your picture reminded me haha! I am sure yours will look amazing when you are finished!
Thanks for hosting, have a great weekend!
Thanks Amber! 🙂 All I can say is that I’m never painting that many cabinets by myself again! But I am happy my kitchen will be ready for the fall tours and hops! 😀
