So, this is our kitchen. Galley style. Pretty plain and simple.
And this is what it looked like on move in day. Check out that mustard yellow wall color. And the horrible faux wood/almond cabinets. If this doesn’t scream late 80′s/early 90′s I don’t really know what does.
Anyway, let’s get back to the good stuff. The kitchen does look a lot brighter and open, don’t you think?
We couldn’t wait to get our hands on the space to start transforming it, bit by bit. However, a complete gut and renovation are just not in the cards for us right now, so we decided to update the existing pieces with some paint. For the cabinets, we primed them with oil based primer and then added a couple of coats of Behr Ultra Pure White paint. We will probably get around to adding some poly to them soon for some extra protection, but for now, things seem to be holding up pretty well.
The wall color is Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore. (Same as the Breakfast Nook.)
In addition to painting, there’s still tons to do, like…
You can pretty much guarantee that we will be sharing all of these upcoming projects with you, even if they don’t turn out as planned. But, we’ve certainly come a long way already. Woohoo! So, have you had your own kitchen painting extravaganza? How did it turn out? Anything you would have done differently? Let us know. We would love to hear from you!
