Oak-a-ramma

My house is from the '80's.  And yes, it is decked out in the once-popular "oak package."  If you've ever wondered exactly what that entails... here's a glimpse:

This is a collage of snapshots from my house.  My favourite is the pantry, which includes the "garage door" to hide the microwave.  Just what I always wanted. 

The oak package is starting to stress me out.  It's just too much icky brown for one house.  I am determined to get rid of it.  I've started painting it out little by little.  Every time I paint even a small section, I'm shocked by how much brighter and fresher the house looks!  The doors are on my to-do list for this week.  Can't wait to see how they turn out!
