Painting the Kitchen Cabinets
I finally got around to cleaning after the kitchen remodel, so I could take some after pictures. It still isn’t quite finished. Someday I might get around to some window treatments and another someday new appliances. The cabinets were nice (raised panel-classic design), just ugly so all I had to do there was paint. I also applied beadboard and corbels to the island to give it more substance and painted the walls and molding. It’s amazing how much of a difference paint can make.
Here is it looked like before.
See the space between the cabinet and patio door? There was room there for a lovely garbage can if a person wanted to put one there. I did not, so I removed the existing upper cabinet and built 2 new upper cabinets and an additional base cabinet. Then I made one of the existing base cabinets a slide out garbage cabinet. I built the uppers 14″ deep to fit larger items like chargers or serving dishes that don’t always fit in a standard 12″ cabinet.
This is amazing and so inspiring!! Your kitchen looks so beautiful!! Amazing what a lil paint will do!! 😉 FAB job!
I just love your new white kitchen! The countertop is wonderful! Once the weather finally warms up, we'll be painting our kitchen cupboards too. If you have any pointers, please let me know.
FAB transformation! I actually love that you kept the island white. You must be beside yourself in your 'new' kitchen!Thanks for linking up to SNS!FJ Donna
P.S. I would love it if you ever wanted to do a tutorial on exactly how to paint kitchen cabinets 🙂
I love this! We just moved into a new house with beautiful dark cabinets, and I soooo want to paint them white, but it kills my husband becuase they are new and nice, I'm going to show him how great this looks, thanks for sharing!
