A little avocado.

So the cupboard turned out a little more avocado than I expected.

It hearkens back to the 70s roots of this house... maybe an orange shag rug should be the next addition (especially in the bathroom!).

I still like it... I think.

That's the benefit of having a 30 year old house, you can paint the original woodwork and not really worry about ruining it. I mean, I don't think fake dark brown particle board woodwork will ever be in high demand again. In case you're curious, it was painted white when we moved in, or else I would have painted it long ago.
Jared hasn't said anything yet-- either he likes it, or knows better than to criticize.

Don't worry, he'll think of something soon enough.

I think you should move the light fixture I love so much up to that bathroom to add to the 70's vibe... Just a thought.

Wow!! I really like it! I had pictured something totally different when you explained it! How long did that take you to do?

It took two days, three coats of paint... I like it now that I got a better bath mat and shower curtain.
