Island Fun!

I am in the process of painting our island in the kitchen which matched, well, NOTHING. It was cherry wood with a blonde wood butcher block top. It is now a nice golden oak on top and its new body is a beautiful delicious yummy scrumptious black. I will post pics after I get my final coat of black paint on tonight after all kids are shut eyed. I am so proud! We have a white fridge, white dishwasher and black stove. ugh Soooo, after this paint job everything looks coordinated a bit more. All we need now is new paint and new floors. I want some beigey colored floors to brighten up the space. I have been looking at paint samples for weeeeks now. Maybe I will decide soon so I can get started! I am so excited to be finally working on our kitchen. It has taken a back seat to everything else we have updated. After the island I am carrying my pricey bucket of black paint (that I got on the mis-tint rack at Wal*Mart for ...drum roll please... $$$$$....$3.00!) to our master bath to redo it a bit. When I headed to the mis-tint rack the other night I thought "Why am I wasting my steps...who takes back black paint? You cannot mis-tint black!" Well, someone did bring it back. It was prefectly black and satin.. hmmmm. I am going to paint our vanity black..move a new mirror in from the end of our hall, get a new light fixture, paint our towel rack, get new rugs and my mom and I are making a custom made shower curtain that will be a beautiful delicious yummy scrumptious black and cream toile, made extra tall with some beautiful delicious yummy scrumptious fringe to adorn it. I am getting new rings and rod also. I am in the process of making some wall art to go in there.. can't wait to post pics of everything! We have the ugliest medicine cabinet ever. When we moved here it was screw up there. No, they didn't put it in the wall..just hung it. That makes it even uglier but I am glad they just hung it because it is UGGGGGGLY. I wouldn't have paid 10 cents for it. *gag
