I actually wish they were salvageable...they are very cool, better than the picture - but way too much work to strip the paper backed vinyl wallpaper & paint for just temporary use. We'll either leave the green and flip the doors around - the backs are okay...except the heavy-duty packing tape on the edges of the wall paper or get new ones right away. We are still in the discovery stage, trying to prioritize our purchases. Although, today I am buying my curtain fabric...it's "perfect" and I don't want it to be unavailable when I'm ready for it.

You are right! Another gratifying tidbit was that "they" didn't sand the cabinets down before painting...so when I get through the goo...the wood is undamaged so far. Small victories...like eating an elephant.

We actually are having a good time...no worries, we know it can only get better!
