The cabinet looks so good – so is it really quitting?
God that pattern is nut-so. More power to you. I hate patterns that are written like that. Nightmares.

There really is something to be said for crisp, white cabinets. They look good, even if it’s not what you started out to do.

You’re right! We were both painting cabinets. I like the clean white look and yours are fabulous and DONE! My family is already tired of me saying how much I like my new bright cabinets. Next Jaclyn and I are onto the front door.

Yeah, I don’t get that pattern either! I’m so sorry it’s helping encourage your quitting!!! Though I think there is honor in quitting for some things! ;)

As a woman who currently has only half of her kitchen cabinets reversed, painted and new hardware replaced, I hardly would call you a quitter. I prefer to think of it as I am aspiring to be a finisher. After all, how can one become a finisher if they are not a starter of great things?

I LOVE the cabinetry painted. For what it’s worth, wood is cool, but sometimes it can look pretty heavy and dark, you know? With hardwood floors, baseboards, etc.

A smart person knows when to stop (not quit), change direction, or push on. It sounds like you’re that person as you did just that when it counted. Chamomile is worth going forward. I wear mine all the time!

If it will make you feel any better I’ll send my list of projects started but destined to never be completed and I can ASSURE you, you will feel OH so much better!! LOL!! I’m impressed you finished the cabinets in one night?? That was some major work!!

You didn’t quit certain knititng projects…they are simply on “hold”….or that’s what I tell myself at least…I have a vest I started over 3 years ago and yep…..still in the basket….when I last tried it on just to see if I could get motivated I discovered the $@$^ thing doesn’t even fit anymore!!!!!!! UGH!!

I like to think of it as being so inspired we simply MUST move on to other projects before finishing some!!

Now….don’t you feel better???? LOL!!!!!!!!!

That pattern makes no sense. Even if they want you to pick up, from where and to what end? I hate vague crap like that! Sure, if you do it wrong, you can fix it – after wasting hours of precious free time!
I think your cabinets look great! What were you going for?
