today's mission

I've always wanted to check out our local reclaimed building material store and today is the day! I can't STAND my white (stained, scratched, and uuuuuuugly) kitchen counter tops. Actually the whole kitchen is ugly but I'm trying to (as I have read on other blogs) to Enjoy the Process. So I'm off to explore counter options! I'll leave you with a picture of a kitchen I LOVE from Country Living...

I want to paint my cabinets black! Right now they are cheapy laminates with primer half applied. And really like the black window sash. Sash? Frame? Whatever....LIKE! What is everyone else doing today?
