I just spent the last half hour trying to write a poem about white paint, and how dearly I love it. I will spare you, but please know that I used the words ain’t, complaint and saint. How about a simple haiku instead:
Freed from cheesy oak,
builder grade cabs go bye-bye,
magic in a can.
I think we should all write a haiku! Leave your own haiku in the comments, and my favorite one will win a prize! I’m serious! I don’t know what the prize is yet, but there will be one, I promise.
Check out this kitchen on Jessica’s blog Running with Scissors, where she gives the full run-down on how to paint your cabinets.

August 4, 2010 at 7:32 PMHey Mary, can I use your Haiku too? *lol*
All these painted cabinets are slowly convincing me I should do mine too. *Noooo!* 🙂

The builder grade cabinets had to go.
Just take off the knobs and start painting
Then write about it on a blog while waiting.

Always Better After paint.
With white comes new life.
Lord I could write a novel on the wonders of white paint…but I guess a haiku will do for now!

From dirty to clean,
Making dingy become pure,
White paint is heav’n sent!
