Cabinet Door Makeover

So I've figured out that we are going to be living in this house 'til we die with how slow things are going on remodeling. (It's NOT going - that is the problem.) I've decided to actually do something about our current kitchen to make it look a little better. And I mean just a little. This is what the old (1917) kitchen cabinets look like.

The cabinet glass doors have been broken. The potato and flour bins (I think that is what they were) have been removed because Cooper kept pulling them out and they were big and heavy and scary). Some wood pieces are missing. I am NOT one of those glass door/let everyone see in my perfect cabinet type people. Our dishes don't match and everything is shoved in everywhere.

My friend, Katie, has an older kitchen and she added some fabric over her cabinets to add some beauty. I thought I would do the same. I went to my remnant fabric stash and found the closest blue fabric to match the kitchen paint. Luckily, there was one that was almost a yard. It is bland and doesn't add much color or design, but it does the job. I pinned it in place on the back of the cabinet door. (Some day, maybe I will find a cute fabric with more color and staple it in place:)

Now you can't see in my messy cabinets. (But I actually have to open the doors to get stuff out. I use to just reach through the non-existent glass.) Pretty good for $2.98!
