The answer??? Spray paint your Goodwill purchases of course!!! ha ha ha
Here's some idea as to what my day has entailed so far....
Before - this is some sort of hand-carved tray I found for $3 at Goodwill.

After: What a difference!
Before - these are wholesale type primitive style trowels. I thought they would go perfect on my kitchen wall cabinet.

After - Right again!
So here are the pictures of my kitchen. It's always a work-in-progress project. At some point we'd like to get new flooring, new countertops, a sliding glass door, new windows, curtains, new appliances (which we desparately need) and rid of the large over the refrigerator cabinet. But for now, it works well for us.
